Last week my self image took a bit of a beating.  It was a rough week, I don’t mind telling you:
First, there was a Saturday afternoon baby shower.  I attended said baby shower with some trepidation.  It’s not that I don’t like babies; I love babies.  I just find that baby showers are rough on single [...]

Ladies and gentlemen, it is with great pleasure I share this following posting.  I feel compelled to confess that I am branching from “thoughts of my own” into “thoughts of my friends and others who have a good handle on the world around them.”    So here I present Johanna’s views on the Bill Belichick incident for your enjoyment [...]

I wonder about the past.  We cannot control our pasts, but can they control us?
In the last month or two, I’ve had a few brushes with my past.  First, I heard from the mother of my very first boyfriend ever.  I was twelve, he was twelve and two months.   I won’t bore you with the [...]

I have eighteen-million things in my head at this moment.  I want to write about all of them, but I can’t seem to get my head to slow down enough to do that, so instead we’ll do another laundry list posting.

I love participating in theater.  I truly, truly love it.  There is something so freeing about pretending to be someone else for a while.  All of my own fears and insecurities and issues fall away and I step into someone else’s skin.  It’s an amazing feeling.

I wanted to share the lyrics of a favorite song with you.  It’s from Avenue Q, an irreverant, off beat, rather adult musical comedy that’s a version of Sesame Street on acid.  It’s a little hard to explain, but it’s a funny show.  The song I’m sharing with you today is the love song in [...]

Every woman I’ve ever known has her pretty days, her ugly days, her thin days and fat days.  There’s a moment everyday when I first catch a glimpse of my reflection in the mirror that tells me instantly what kind of day I’ll be having.  Maybe I slept wrong and my hair has decided to [...]

Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to apologize for the blatantly self-pitying tone of the previous posting.  It was late; I was tired and the only food in my system was a sugar free fudgesicle and a few hot wings with Ranch dressing.  This does not really give me a lot to go on for balancing [...]

I’m confused.  More by my own behavior than anything else, but still the confusion is there.
 
First and foremost, I’d like to thank the boys for their insightful advice towards my problem.  I did, in fact, come out and ask Jeff what was going on.  I explained that I was truly, truly ok with either response, [...]
