Wedding Week Update #1
I burned my arm making dinner last night. Just a small burn, one I’ll be able to cover up with makeup, but I knew it was going to happen. I’ve smacked my hands into just about everything over the past couple of days, and now two of my knuckles are skinned, including my left ringfinger.…

so early, so late
You don’t have to check the time of this post. I’ll tell you. It’s four in the morning. I’ve learned an important lesson. When you decide to drink more Diet Coke than you have in about a year, it’s best not to do it at eleven at night. I’ve been trying to fall asleep for…

Big To-Do
So the holes in my yard aren’t caused by skunks. We’ve been spraying for grubs, sprinkling hot pepper and keeping motion detector lights on, and while I haven’t seen any more skunks skulking around, the holes didn’t cease. Then last week, when I was planting some tulip bulbs in the name of M. Tiny, I…

The good, the bad and the unknown.
Working on this television show is teaching me how to add more specifics to my writing. When I write here, or a recap, or even a script Liz and I will eventually perform, there’s a tendency to write in shorthand, to deliver enough information that someone “gets it,” and then move on. Here I’m learning…

my new obsession is apparently also your obsession.
Okay, I saw Oprah in these and she looked good. I’m nervous about buying something created by Nelly, but the man appreciates a tiny waist and a round thang in your face. Anybody tried Apple Bottoms yet? I’m thinking of ordering a pair. Specifically, these. [edited to add: Those of you who were outraged about…

She cut it. She drained
She cut it. She drained it. She took a culture. She cleaned it. She put me on antibiotics. She doesn’t think this is the same infection, the really bad one I had. This is some kind of smaller infection, an ingrown hair gone evil. “You’ll definitely have a better weekend now,” she said. …

325 donations.
eleven and a half hours until my doctor’s appointment. This ER rerun i’ve never seen before which seems like I was supposed to stay home tonight and update book donations. We’re at 325. And the letters from the librarians, as you can see, have been coming in all week. It’s one of my favorite…

Coming Up for Breath
It’s like I’m coming up for air. I’ve been going non-stop for a couple of weeks now, and I think right now at this moment I’m having my first second of silent, spare time. The fact that I’m filling it with writing an entry instead of finishing my book (I’m reading A Tree Grows In…

Measure for Measure
A couple of months ago my friend Liz and I went shopping. She was looking for a camisole for an upcoming show, so we hit a few lingerie stores. This, of course, led us to Victoria’s Secret. I felt conspicuous holding my Coffee Bean cup as I fingered lace tops, watching the salesladies watch me.…

“She’s So LA.”
Ugh. I did that thing where you get yourself all worked up to work out and then you over workout trying to be a bad ass and you feel bad for the rest of the day. Where I live there’s a reservoir with a track that runs around it. I guess it’s about 2.5 miles.…
