DNA

This is a photograph of an oil painting of my mother, Carol, and my father, Sidney. According to my uncle (who sent this to me in last year’s big box o’ memorabilia), my mother had this painting commissioned for their wedding portrait. This is one of the very few images that I have of my [...]

First: Oh, happiness! [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcEpdxsWZLA&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&fs=1] Thanks to Avitable for posting it on his blog today. ———- Cooking question. So, I made my grandmother’s Melt In Your Mouth Blueberry Cake, for Thanksgiving dessert. It came out really well, even though there were no fresh blueberries to be found and I had to use frozen. My question is [...]

Moo – A Thanksgiving Haiku

Posted: 26th November 2009 by Tiffany in Friends, Holiday, Warm Fuzzy

I am a whoa-bitchin’ cook. We’re falling asleep, Blessed in our lives and our friends. We love you guys. Happy Thanksgiving!   (Edited to add: Well, shit.  I guess I’m buzzed (pinot noir with dinner, beer and whisky before that).  A haiku is 5-7-5, isn’t it?  Heh.)

Up.

It’s 3:00 in the morning. I woke up a half-hour ago. I thought I was gently tossing and turning, but I guess in Calvin’s Bill’s sleep-absorbed mind I was jumping up and down on the bed. I got several “Uuuunnnggg!”‘s from him, so I decided to give up the ghost and just go out to [...]

Okay, people, here’s where you get confused. Ready? “Laura” = Tiffany “Calvin” = Bill “Michael” = Robert “Marie” = Amanda All the other “characters” names are pretty much their real names, as far as I can remember (I was once going to give even the PETS their own nom-de-nets, then I was all, “Jaysus, fucker, [...]

Aaaah.

Wow. I didn’t get on the computer AT ALL this weekend. I didn’t even turn it ON, yesterday – and I missed a day for NaBloPoMo, but eh, not what I consider a huge failure in the grand scheme of things. I was SUPPOSED to be way frickin’ busy over the weekend. The only thing [...]

Nothing To Report

Hi. Nothing to report, today. Sometimes life requires stepping away from the keyboard.

Baffled

Posted: 20th November 2009 by Tiffany in Headspace, WTF

Wow, were my dreams full of action last night. Not *bow chicka* action, but running! And shooting! And falling! And chasing! There was an airplane that could carve parts out of the clouds with its wings, and those parts would fall to earth like chunks of a snowbank. I had a Beretta, and I drove [...]

Start/Stop/Continue

Posted: 19th November 2009 by Tiffany in Calvin, Drama, goals, Headspace

Calvin and I had the fight to end all fights last weekend. Not a disagreement, not a discussion, not an argument. A. Fight. It will henceforth be referred to as THE Fight, because it has eclipsed all other fights that we’ve had during our relationship. Kind of like how WWI was “The Great War” until [...]
