the windows to my soul are creepy

February 1, 2012

I had the surgeries on my eyes,. There were some different decisions and complication. But it was LOTS of fun. I was incredibly hot. Supermodels were jealous. You’re thinking “HOW DO I GET THAT COOL?” You can’t. Just deal. Today I’m celebrating my 64th birthday. THEORY: If I lie and tell people I’m 29 they’re [...]

winning at “words with friends”

January 11, 2012

I wrote at this site every day for a while. Not because I had critically important thing to say, but because my therapists would recommend working my brain. Write, they said. Think, they said. Post, they said. But, do it well. Notice they didn’t say THAT! After I got back in the habit of posting [...]

i have the perfect wheelchair cat

November 1, 2011

We have this cat named “Puppy”. We got him as a kitten from the Humane Society. He’s what you call a “Manx”, or a cat with no tail. He has an attitude, walks like John Wayne and is the perfect cat. When we got Puppy I didn’t know I was going to end up in [...]

taking new pictures

August 29, 2011

I had new headshot taken! By my friend Heather. They’re really great, she did a fantistic job! But it was hard. Where pictures used to be easy and simple, it’s more complicated now. EYES -  the glare on glasses was irritating enough, but the double-vision-not-quite-focusing-look-over-here-AND-over-there thing was hard too. WHEELCHAIR – the chair itself is [...]

August 9, 2011

I spent the last months planning for BlogHer and our party. They’re both finally over. The party is a post all to itself. But I’ll give you a hint: ANTWAY! The conference was in San Diego and it was one of those amazing chances to say THANK YOU to the people that have been such [...]

Dear @BlogHer attendees & non-attendees

July 24, 2011

Dear people going to BlogHer, NOT going to BlogHer or wondering “WTH is BlogHer?”, Last year, Peter and I got on a plane and flew to NY to be at my first event post-strokes. NY was loud, it smelled funky and being able to be there was glorious. Being anywhere was glorious. Since that time [...]

Happy Birthday to @SueBob!

July 6, 2011

I can’t begin to tell you all the times @SueBob emailed or DM’d me when I didn’t ask for help but SHE WANTED TO. This woman is funnier and more awesome than I can imagine a drunk Guatemalan midget could be. My life is better for Suebob choosing me to be one of her friends. [...]

i could have been reading “War and Peace”

June 13, 2011

I went to Books-A-Million this weekend. Of the millions…no trillions…of pages of BRILLIANCE to be found, we spent our time busting a gut over things like: and Not to forget Please? Duh???!!! How many days till Father’s Day?

i may have 1 good leg and 1 good arm, but I still have 2 good boobs apparently

May 31, 2011

Once upon a time, I had quite the impressive bosom. NO LIE. To be really blunt about it, “the twins” were fun. They did the BEST card tricks! The strokes were a lot of adjustment physically. Wheelchairs to get used to. Legs that don’t work. Arms that don’t feel. Faces that aren’t straight. But still. [...]
