Operation: Organize

Operation: Organize Alright everyone. We have reached the final frontier. Today it's time to go deep into my studio.  What it lacks in size, it makes up for in volume. I've had bags and boxes Tetris 'ed in here for years, and I've just hauled everything out and now you can't see the living room anymore. Cover me, I'm goin' in...∎ 🎮 Here, let me Google that for you...

I Googled Myself And This Is What I Found (It's Not Good)

I Googled Myself And This Is What I Found (It's Not Good) " OH DEAR GOD. Never Google yourself."  That's what I wrote under "Write a Review" on an archive site I discovered this week. On this site, someone had posted the Spring 1990 issue of our college Honors newsletter, a quarterly called Femmes d'esprit . Spring '90 was the second issue after I became the Editor. The previous editor, Stacy, had gone off to Europe on a semester abroad. While I was envious of all the girl…

These Are Some People I Don't Understand

These Are Some People I Don't Understand You Named It Brad, and I Don't Know What To Do With That. Could you please not introduce me to your car? Because unless it's  Greased Lightning  or something similarly non-anthro, I don't want to meet him. Tell your car that I'm a warm person usually, it's just that I would be more comfortable if we remain strangers while I'm sitting in him and twiddling his knobs. I'm not judging you for naming your car (or your bike, o…

I'm a Tag Sale Fiend On My Mother's Side

I'm a Tag Sale Fiend On My Mother's Side I come from a long line of women who love tag sales, flea markets, church basement sales, and thrift shops. I found some fun stuff at a tag sale today over on Appian Way. Tag sales are like Vegas. Bring only what you are willing to spend. I brought ten bucks. Here's my haul.
