We went to Iraq because Saddam’s supposed WMD stockpile threatened our peace. (See? We’re the Department of Defense. We’re *defending* you — this isn’t unprovoked aggression, golly, gee no! They could hurt us!)
Now, I learn that FAUXNews is already spinning some not-verified ideas (not even the facts, people) to say that […]

God bless Statcounter.
Or was that, “ignorance is bliss?”

Every once in a while, Statcounter’s an entertaining pasttime. Let’s see…what have people been googling (or blog-searching) to land here?

…I had a very nice first date last night.
The food was simply awful (but my date was rather gracious about it, even when the restaurant owner stopped by to visit). I ordered: Crepes Provencale: Sauteed beef tenderloin in crepes with a fresh thyme and mushroom cream sauce. For the starch, I chose pasta […]

(chemistry, but really, it’s the same thing)
This description goes with the theory that less is more so….I’m a laid back, athletic, type B person. I’ve travelled. I’ve stayed home. I like both. Prefer college sports to pro but even more, prefer doing to watching. Thats all you get for now. Since you’ve read this far, […]

I remembered that I haven’t visited chemistry.com for a bit (match’s attempt at something like eHarmony — they gave me a “free” lifetime membership), so I popped on to see who they’re suggesting I might like. Here’s the first entry:

A friend who knows me IRL blogged a happy birthday post for me, along with some (yikes!) photos of what I looked like at 18.
If only I hadn’t been trying so hard, I could have been really cute. In these three photos combined, I have on more makeup than I’d wear in a […]

As if I needed justification? Conveniently, I already had a mom-date on the books for tonight with a group of local gals whom I really like — smart, funny, and educated! If I weren’t working, I’d see them more often…but damn it all…
One gal sent this article with the email titled, “Proof that […]

Do you know what really annoys me?
I mean *really* annoys me?
Being treated as if I’m an inactive slug who eats badly, because I’m still not skinny after having a child. Actually, it doesn’t annoy me. It pisses me off. It also hurts, and I find myself questioning this whole “dating” thing because […]

From Hugo, the Quote Meme: Here’s a blogging meme for you: What quotation, from any source other than Shakespeare or the Bible, most resonates with you today? What quotation most resonated with you in your teenage years?
I’m not sure about my early teenage years, but I had this on my wall throughout […]

Update: I really think this is all in my head.

A couple months ago, I visited with my P.A. about an odd soreness in my left breast. Although he felt nothing out of the ordinary — perhaps fibrocystic tissue — he still forwarded me on for a mammogram. After all, I was hitting 35 […]

Why is it that 30 felt like nothing — no different, no older, nada — but 35 feels so momentous? Beats the hell outta me.
My birthday wish is that, if you’re lurking, you delurk for a minute and tell me who you are, how you got here, and why you stop by. Yes, […]

…is pretty much absent. It’s not unusual for me to meet someone (either phone or in person) whom I’ve emailed and — if they know I grew up near New Orleans, then lived in Texas for years — for them to be dumbfounded.
