It appears that a whole week has passed since I posted anything. It’s not because I’ve been grieving for Lucky, though I still miss him but he’s way better off; it’s because between meetings, the GRAY CLOUDY MISERABLE WEATHER, and collapsing from cleaning the carpet I’ve either slept the remainder of the time, or watched [...]

I don’t know if that’s the appropriate French translation for Lucky the Black Cat, but it’s close.
Lucky has escaped the mortal coil. I’m pretty certain he had more than seven lives, even if he was a resourceful, spunky, smart, sweet cat. He died today. I came home and thought, “I must empty the cat box. [...]

This shall be a totally self-indulgent post, all about me, me, me.
Oh. It’s my blog. Silly me, all the posts are about me, me, me. Aren’t you the lucky ones. Hey, sometimes the self deprecatory, faux humility based crap creeps me out, too. Anyway. Me!
It’s been six weeks since I splatted and broke my wrist [...]

What is it about change that is so entrancing? Other than it’s another buzzword, which has been flogged and beaten down in the corporate world for who knows how long. I guess politics is a tad behind the curve. Or the politicians propounding “change” are trying to make what’s old new again. Now there’s a [...]

Yesterday, Tuesday, two days after Frothlet 2 returned to college, I went home to scavenge for lunch. I knew it would be a fool’s errand and a waste of time since all we had in the house was shit. Literal (and I’m not being pedantic, just trying to define the real feces from the metaphorical), [...]

I’m an artist. Oh, I was. Kind of like I’m a novelist in my head, too, just as 90% of most bloggers are. I haven’t painted anything in 5 years. However, at one time I produced something, even if it was crummy, every day. Joined the art league. Entered shows. Won some ribbons. Sold some work.Then [...]

Via Slack and Twonervousdogs and Parkway Reststop comes some fun stuff. About stupid people–excuse me–unnecessarily pedantic and literal people–and then about words that weren’t around when the current crop of youngsters (how’s THAT for an oldie) weren’t remotely a gleam nor mote in anybody’s eyes.
Napster-what my grandmother was and what I am now.
MP3-The guy behind the first [...]

Not the good kind of bad, just the pathetic bad. I’m in my listing of donation contents from my closet mode. I’ve gotten everything that I wear into the closet. I’ve gotten everything I don’t or won’t out. Including shoes. And I’m not bragging as in “Oh, I’m just such a shoe person, I can’t [...]

This is a boring post, but, well, who cares?
Having been distracted by various calamaties, holidays and fatigue I’ve been unable to get on a massive project that’s been lurking in my closet. Specifically, my closet. And the satellite office of my closet upstairs. Today, after seeing Frothlet 1 off to school I started the pull and [...]

Yesterday was our 27th wedding anniversary. Both Mr. Froth and I forgot about it until one of my few remaining brain cells lit up Wednesday night and I reminded both of us that it was happenin’.
“I have nothing for you but my love and two college boys exsanguinating our bank account.”
“Shit. Thanks for reminding me. [...]
