I’m writing this from the little table in our room at The Inn at Jackson Hole. I would have taken a picture of the room, but Calvin threw off his clothes, threw back the bedcovers, and crashed as soon as we hit the door. Tomorrow, after maid service. King bed. Kitchenette. Balcony. Fireplace. We got [...]

We’re (almost) off, my darlings! I have an hour and a half left at work, after which I will go get the truck lubed up (we decided against the rental car after all – more money to spend on souveniers!), pick up a prescription, get a rat for Kali, then go home and pack my [...]
Of Bliss, and Packing.

Summer thunderstorms happen pretty much daily in those areas, and roll in/roll out quickly. ———- Observe, if you will: In the center of the frame is the binoculars we purchased [...]
A warning, my friends. This is not a happy post. It’s something that needs to get out. ———- I never think good thoughts, lying awake in the dark. It’s as if the absence of light turns my brain toward the black paths that lie in wait, surging to the forefront when my mind isn’t distracted. [...]
The sky above won’t fall down.
Posted: 23rd July 2009 by Tiffany in books, Music, pets, photography, Uncategorized, UpTake, vacation, work, WTFI’ve listened to this song four times in the last two days. A rediscovered love (and here’s another one for your mix CD, Kim!). I laughed at myself as I wrote this entry for UpTake. AS IF I could follow my own advice on that particular subject. Ha. Ha hah. Ha. On a related note, the [...]

First off, I think I’m all caught up now on comments responses. Sorry I’ve been so lame about it the past couple of weeks. ———- It was my birthday yesterday (35, woo frickin’ hoo). We didn’t do anything in particular, by my request. I’ve just lost all desire to be made much of on my [...]
I was listening to my iPod here at work, and a co-worker walked in and asked me what I was listening to. I said, “Fleetwood Mac,” and she replied, “Ugh. My ex was a huge Fleetwood Mac fan. I can’t stand to listen to them, now.” So that got me to thinking. My ex almost [...]

1. Taoist Biker is hosting his radio show at 10:00 pm EST tonight. Call in, participate, enjoy, become one of the cool kids! 2. I have decided to give Stephen King another try, since the last time I tried to read one of his books I was a teenager, and I just couldn’t get through [...]
I keep thinking that we haven’t budgeted enough money for gas, for our road trip. !!!BEGIN MATH ALERT!!! – Initial off-the-top-of-my-head budget – $450 – Round-trip miles (according to Google Maps) – 2688 – bumping up to 3000 to account for tooling around – Conservative MPG – 18 (we’re getting a Lincoln Town Car – [...]
I’m thinking about a permanent solution to birth control. The solution I’m thinking of is non-reversible, which means once I decide to do it, there’s no changing my mind or going back. I will be rendered incapable of bearing children, ever. I’m going to be thirty-five next week, and I know that I don’t want [...]
