Took a long walk at lunch today in the sunshine, all the way down to Pike Place market, for Russian pieroshkis, then walked back, then walked to Vivace for coffee. Walking after lunch, good for the constitution. Is it possible that the Alaskan governor’s pregnant daughter will have an *actual* shotgun wedding? I’ve seen the […]

I can’t hear very well

I had a dream that I was in a shopping mall, at a tacky lingerie store. The store was pretty crowded. I looked at a few things but didn’t like any of it, too cheap and ugly, like victoria’s secret, and decided to leave. I walked a few steps out the door and was stopped […]

My biggest tomato plant broke in half last night. It was too heavy to bear the weight of all the fruit. The stake it was tied to was not tall enough. So I’m left with a large heavy stalk with a dozen unripe tomatoes on it. I put it into a jug of water. Is […]

All my books are still on the living room floor. But I have decided to order a customized bookcase from the same place we bought our bed — the furniture maker in Tacoma. I measured, it will be five feet wide, six feet tall, and 14″ deep. Espresso stain. All local hard wood, locally made […]

This weekend has been nice and chill, and I have actually finally done some writing. BRENNA: care to read a couple pages next week? lol 😀 Yesterday we went to Macy’s to take advantage of the mattress sale. Got a beautiful firm Serta queen for $619 — allegedly MSRP is $1800, but I never know […]

On this date 45 years ago, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech. This reminded me of when I was in 9th grade and taking Washington State History class. Apropos of nothing, our teacher, who was white and clearly an ex-hippy, decided we all needed to hear MLK’s […]

I’ve lost nine pounds this summer (since the surgery) and today while sorting through laundry I pulled a folded pair of jeans from the back of my drawer — the Citizens of Humanity jeans that I haven’t worn since last year because I had gotten too “fat” for them. They fit perfect now. YESSSSSSS BITCHES […]

I sat in the sun on the back porch and finished reading “Valley of the Dolls.” Man, what a depressing book. When I finished reading I swept pine needles off of the deck with a push broom and wiped down the table. Tossed a couple dead flowerpots into the composter. Brian is out there in […]

So I’m reading “Valley of the Dolls.” It’s mostly dialogue and exposition, so I’m flying right through it. I can see how it was such a scandal and a bestseller — for its time (the mid-60s) it has a ton of swearing and sex and drug use. Though for 2008, it’s rather tame and quaint. […]
