This is the first year in many years that I am actually looking forward to Christmas. Usually I just try to muddle through the best I can, feigning holiday spirit as required and not giving more much than the bare minimum that’s expected of me. Under normal circumstances, you could call my “holly jolly” mediocre […]
Poop Day Giveaway!
Poop Day Giveaway! Today is Poop Day. I have to empty my bowels for my surgery tomorrow. It’s no fun. So I thought I’d try to make me some Silver Lining by giving away a book. But not just any book – my current favorite! The World For Realz’ first monthly book giveaway is a […]
Summer Reading Lists
Summer Reading Lists are important. Every year I get some kind of workbook for Abbie to bridge the long months between school’s end and beginning. You might think I’m mean for forcing my kid to do worksheets and reading projects and quizzes and vocabulary when we’re supposed to be forcing our children into the great […]
Big Read – WILD by Cheryl Strayed
The Big Read 2014 – WILD by Cheryl Strayed I LOVE Dayton’s Big Read. I almost missed it this year, because I have become such a recluse. I no longer have my own car – my hubz uses ours for work, and I gave mine to my adult son so he has transportation to his job, […]
My Planet Swiftly Tilted
I had this moment of panic a couple nights ago. I couldn’t remember the name of a very common, pretty classic book for young adults. It’s one we all know. But for the life of me, I could only remember the author {Madeleine L’Engle}, and the less well-known sequel, A Swiftly Tilting Planet. On a […]

What’s Up Wenzday 03/20/13 — Missing “W” Edition!
What’s Up Wenzday Point #1: A Note of Clarification — Last week I tried something new. I’ve been very unhappy with this nonsensical, elongated winter bullshit, to the point that I have actually considered driving over to Punxsutawney, PA and looking for Phil so I can punch him in his stupid groundhog-ish little wiener. He […]
What’s Up Wenzday 02/27/13 — Handcuffed Moxy Edition!
What’s Up Wenzday Point #1: A Note of Clarification — Found my Moxy. What a whore. You just wouldn’t even believe what that gurl has been up to. Thank goodness, we found her in the nick-of-time, and she is safe and sound, locked back into place. I won’t say the handcuffs will hold indefinitely, because […]
What’s Up Wenzday 02/20/13 — Lethargic Edition!
What’s Up Wenzday Point #1: A Note of Clarification — In case anybody wondered, I still have not located my missing moxy. Fucking February seems to have run off with it to Hawaii, and I guess they are having a lovely time without me. I thought about putting my moxy’s image on milk cartons, and […]
What’s Up Wenzday 02/13/13 — Valentine Edition!
What’s Up Wenzday Point #1: A Note of Clarification — February is great for, like, love and shit like that. But it sucks major donkey balls with regard to energy and motivation and personal growth and related types of activities. February is, like, “I am grey, I thrive on your personal joy, and I eat […]
