When you work out of your home, you get to meet the many people who you would otherwise only know from the things they hang on your doorknob. They are usually startled when an actual person answers their quiet knock. I invariably open the door just as they are hanging something on the doorknob. In order to keep their lives at least a little interesting, when someone comes by with a religious tract or invitation to save the world through prayer to some deity, I always politely tell them I’m an atheist. Then I smile sweetly and thank them for
April Fool’s Day
What this means in Alaska is that just when we thought it was spring, it snows again. Happy April.
I feel a poem coming on….

Water, water everywhere….
Get me the hell out of this town during breakup!

Such are the ravings
Apparently I would not only do Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory but I would throw Gibbs overboard for a chance at Dekes from NCIS:LA.
Such are the late night ravings of a dirty old woman.
I would so do him
Who? Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory. And I know that makes me a very dirty old lady and I don’t care. He is sexy in the most unbelievably nerdy way possible. I would do him in a heartbeat.

What the hell….?
So there I am, all cozy and warm and, may I add, totally sober, watching the new Muppets Movie. The first notes of Rainbow Connection start playing and suddenly I am sobbing like a newborn baby who just got slapped on her bottom. I am singing the song at the top of my lungs and sobbing the whole time.
What the hell was that all about?
Annoy Jerry Prevo
Vote for Proposition Five – everyone deserves equal rights. Religion is protected by this ordinance but Jerry would have you deny the same protection to others. Don’t let his hate win.
Photo Booth
I have this icon at the bottom of my computer screen called Photo Booth. It sits next to my Word icon. Every once in a while, I accidentally click on it rather than the Word icon. Seconds later I am staring at an old lady with a waddled neck on my computer screen. It’s takes a fraction of a second for it to register that the old lady is me.
Dear god is that depressing! I can’t hit the quit button quickly enough to not first recoil in horror.
As that wise woman once said, growing old is not for
MIchelle Obama
Saw Michelle Obama on the Letterman show earlier this week. The more I think about it, the more I want to be just like her when I grow up.
Here’s the wonderful thing about animal people
When you lose one of your pets, they send amazing cards of love and sympathy that fill a real need because the hole in your heart is so large that only other animal people can possibly understand.
Thank you Mark and Elaine. Thank you College Village Animal Clinic. Thank you Peter. Thank you Friends of Pets. Thank you Karie. You all were part of Blondie’s life and gave her all the love and tummy massages any dog could ever want.
Blondie is gone, but not forgotten. And now she sits on a shelf in my house next to her buddy
