Meh.

July 30th, 2008 · 14 Comments · Life

Have you ever felt that way? Just…meh. Like you want to care about things, and you try to care about things, but really? Way down deep, you just don’t care? I’m kind of feeling that lately. I’m not talking about my family - I love my kids all the time. I love Bill most of [...]

My thoughts on aging.

July 29th, 2008 · 23 Comments · Life

It sucks.
The End.
Fine. Not really. Okay, it really sucks, but that’s not the end. I don’t know what little switch got hit in my head, but the fact that I am THIRTY. FIVE. has hit me like a ton of bricks. Thirty-five is when you’re supposed to be mature and wise and shit because hello? [...]

Monday.

July 28th, 2008 · 2 Comments · Life

It’s Monday. Worse, it’s a Monday after a computer-free (and kid-free and GLORIOUS) weekend. I have things to say. (I’m working on a post about my recent birthday.) As usual, I need some time to frame those things in a coherent fashion. (Do y’all even bother to read this thing on Mondays? I wouldn’t. It’s [...]

No rest for the wicked. Or weary. Or something.

July 21st, 2008 · 8 Comments · Life

No news todays, unless you count getting news that we won’t hear until tomorrow afternoon. So, there you go. More waiting.
Y’all have voted that I open comments on the x365s. This amazes me. I have a hard time understanding why anyone even reads them (although I regularly read other people’s), much less wants to comment. [...]

I got nothin’ here, kids.

July 14th, 2008 · 19 Comments · Life

No, really. I got nothin’. Bupkis. Diddly. Jacksquat. It’s not that I don’t have things about which I’d like to talk; it’s that I apparently don’t have the ability to post them coherently. But that’s just how Mondays work around here, I think. Also, I’m busy coming up with a new design to go with [...]

07/03 Steph’s Rants

Okay, so it’s not really a rant so much as more of my ADD rambling. You’ll live.

Alright, kids.

July 1st, 2008 · 15 Comments · Life

Last night, I was thinking about the BlogHer ads. Specifically, I was thinking about the links to other blogs they put at the bottom and how I appear there sometimes. I was thinking about how someone just stumbling across this sucker would wonder WTF was going on because I do that when I’m “new” to [...]

How to grow a blog.

June 30th, 2008 · 16 Comments · Life

Just typing that title, I’m sitting here laughing like a freaking hyena. I’m not Ree or Dooce. I don’t have a huge following. I have a following that’s grown (a lot), and I have readers who are also commenters (something like 1/4 of the folks who subscribe to this thing also comment - I’m very, [...]

The intarwebz is my favorite thing EVAR!!

June 27th, 2008 · 21 Comments · Life

Yet again, I find myself wanting to cover a lot of topics all at once. I don’t know why my brain can’t just pick a subject and stick with it for a while. I mean, where’s the hyperfocus when I need it? Why is it failing me now?? Curse you, O Fickle ADD Symptom. But [...]

I’m finally bigtime!!

June 26th, 2008 · 25 Comments · Life

At least in my own little head. I got my very first hatemail. And it was from someone who gave a fake name and fake e-mail! Today is a happy day in my little world. As goofy as it might be, I feel like I’m finally a “real” blogger. I feel very Dooce-like today. So [...]
