123 WHATHEHELLAREWEDOING Lane
The suburban Chicago house where I lived for 8 years, so I should just shut up. *********************************************************************************** Dudes. Oh, dudes. It’s pretty official. We’re moving to the ‘burbs. I know I say this like I’m some elitist hipster who can’t deign herself to live in two-story houses next to…Continue Reading
PROMPTuesday #60: Lie to Me
We got a meme this week, folks. And I’m going with it because the topic intrigues me and I love to lie for sport. So by way of Green Girl, this meme/PROMPT is as follows: “Sometimes you can learn more about a person by what they don’t tell you, or from the things they…Continue Reading

This Month’s Book Club
It’s Drood. And it’s long. And God can only help me now. (I host June 11, and have not started reading this behemoth.)
Extra! Extra! Get Your Movie Tickets Here!
I think I just mixed media metaphors. (And abused alliteration.) BUT, if you live in San Diego and like artsy, indie movies with such as John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph and Maggie Gylenhall, and such as free and such like, then leave a comment here and I will send you no-charge movie tickets for “Away…Continue Reading
