What Lies Beneath

I’m more than a little irritated, as I’d written an entire post, did something odd, and it hadn’t auto-saved the draft. Of course, I’m sure I was much more eloquent the first time. Sorry to short change you. 🙂 The one thing I can give you, buzzed post. Not as much as either the day my hair […]

Feeling Testy

I’m doing it again. Writing a post that I have no intention of hitting “publish” on until I have updated test results. Sigh. I’ve been doing this blog thing for two years now, and I considered letting go of my vanity URL, but evidently I’m still vain enough to keep it.  I put it up for […]

Cause & Effect

For years, I’ve known. Chocolate makes me sneeze. Worth it. Now, a glass of wine causes hot flashes… Or just feels like it raises my body temp 20 degrees. Also worth it. Found out I’m even less in menopause than 6 months ago, so the headaches, hot flashes & southern lady part issues will continue. […]

Work B*tch

A couple of weeks ago, the best thing that could ever happen to my son happened. He lost. Before you call the crappy mom police, let me clarify a little. The kid does know about losing.  He played pee-wee football for 3 years, without one single winning season.  He may have seen the Red Sox […]

The Scarlet Letter

I had to go back and see exactly how long it’s been, and I’m now at 14 months and counting since I took my mom to a doctor’s appointment and the resident obviously mistook me for a 62 year old, because I was the one who looked like a cancer patient. (Yes, this still smarts, […]

Funhouse Mirrors

This is at least the 6th time I’ve started to write in the last month.  Most of the time I’ve gotten as far as the punny title of what’s rolling around in my head.  Sometimes I’ve had a whole line, but in general, there just hasn’t been much to share, or at least that I […]

Why Can’t We All Just Get Along?

It’s ironic.  It’s been less than a month since I declared 2014 the no-cancer-one-upmanship, and already the Guardian and the NYT have broken my pact. Don’t they know they should all be listening to the Ninja?!? 🙂 This week some people, questioned the choice of Lisa Adams, a mother of three who has been fighting stage 4, metastatic […]

The Back Forty

I’m drunk. And right now I’m so in love with you. And I don’t want to think too much about what we should and shouldn’t do. Okay Ninjas, I think this is my second drunk post. I feel like I should feel guilty, but I’ve decided not to. For more time than I’d like to admit, […]
