looking back to move forward

February 25, 2010

I am ready for this pain to leave. I want to stop hating. I want to return to writing here about beauty. But the hurt continues. I sit and look out the window at the glorious pink of the blooming cherry trees, and tears stream down my face–I am sad and angry and confused. And [...]

You didn’t not get a valentine from me.

February 14, 2010

You did not not get a valentine from me this year. No one got a valentine from me this year. It wasn’t just you. I know. I know. I ALWAYS send valentines. But this year I did not. And I am probably more saddened by that than you are. Not to keep the focus on [...]

what would tiger do (differently)?

December 29, 2009

I have certainly sung the woe-is-me tune, wondering how my husband could be off seeking other women so soon after leaving me, and how could he be reunited within weeks with his former sweetheart.

I went to test drive a Tesla and all I got was this lousy stamp

November 13, 2009

Okay, so I did not really, truly expect to drive a Tesla tonight–although that would have been hot. Plus, it’s not really a lousy stamp, I actually quite like the design. We begin the evening with the fact that my datebook said things started at 7–which made for me arriving at about 7:30–except the party [...]

the rare flying cataclysm

October 18, 2009

I have been struggling with what to write. I find myself in this space where I just do not understand how I got here, and mostly all I can fathom is to blame myself–for not paying attention or something. I find myself adrift. I find myself without a dream to follow. I find myself with [...]

Rude Awakenings

September 1, 2009

I have decided that what is going on is that I am waking from a dream. Maybe several dreams. This is how I am thinking about it today, and maybe I will think about it differently tomorrow. But for now, I like to view the angst and pain and confusion I am feeling in my [...]
