Circling
I like to plan. I like having a goal of where my life is going. Even I veer widely off course, I like having a plan. I like having a plan so much, I have back up plans and contingency plans, and can plan at the drop of a hat, if need be. It's second nature to me. It's a hobby. There I have said it--some people scrapbook--I plan--It is a hobby ( Read more... ) -

intentions, thoughts, and adventures
greenteablues and I are hopping in the car on Sunday and taking off for a grand adventure. We don't get many of these that don't involve parenting a small being, anymore, so it is safe to assume that it needs to be pretty damn cool--by our standards at least.

(Untitled)
I opened up my mailbox today and what do I find in it but a flyer from the NC GOP blasting Kay Hagan for accepting money from the founders of the Godless Americans PAC. I could give a rat's ass about who Kay Hagan accepts cash from at this point. All I care about is Libby Dole getting her carpetbagging ass out of NC. Good Bye and don't let the ( Read more... ) -
margaret atwood
I missed this interview with Margaret Atwood this week in the NYTimes magazine. I luuuurrrrve Ms. Atwood, she is a big shero of mine.
I have read just about everything she has written--The Handmaids Tale is on my once a year reading list.
