A few nights ago I dreamed that the seamstress who is sewing ribbon around the edge of my wedding veil showed me the turquoise ribbon she was using and it was WAY TOO GREEN, and I was upset. This dream is tantamount to a sign saying WELCOME TO CRAZYVILLE. POPULATION: YOU.

Since I’ve been keeping some of you in suspense about why I spent Christmas in a hotel (and by “some of you,” I mean “Heather“), I guess it’s only fair to finally explain that it was because my parents had a flood at their house and had to live at a hotel for two months [...]

The end of November means the end of National Novel Writing Month, which means that once again I can rejoin the world of the living. I actually hit 50,000 words on November 28, and yesterday I went to knitting night for the first time all month, did some cross stitching for the first time in [...]
