I tend to set lofty goals for us at the beginning of each year. Goals to pay off our debt, or to pay it down so far that it might as well be paid off. By “debt” I mean credit cards. EIGHT credit cards, to be exact. My goals (for this year, anyway) do not [...]

Blame it on Heather for sending this to me. I couldn’t NOT share it with you. Just keepin’ it real, people. Rula Bula, August 2005. The year of skinny thighs. Cracking me up: the expressions on their faces. One has a smoke to retain his savoir faire, the other is just singing along because, really, [...]
Turning Home
Posted: 22nd March 2011 by Tiffany in Headspace, Home, MaineTags: homesick, questionable heartfelt poetry
Every moment, every motion. Every effort apparent or subtle. The work of my hands, a purpose. The work of my mind, a reason. Every goal, every success, every idea. Each hard day, another blank stare. Every held breath, every dream. Lost for beats of time, elsewhere. The constant yearning, the constant turning, the paths of [...]
Is there then a world where I rule absolutely on fate? A time I bind with chains of signs? An existence become endless at my bidding? The joy of writing. The power of preserving. Revenge of a mortal hand. –excerpt from “The Joy of Writing” by Wislawa Szymborska So. Yes. Details have yet to be [...]
Beating the Intimidation Factor

This subject was on my mind today, so I thought I would run a re-post of an article I posted for Beyond Megapixels back in December. This can be applied to any circumstance in which you find yourself feeling “less than”. I hope you find it to be comforting, or even inspiring. ———- In my [...]

Not long after I filed for divorce (so this would have been back around the spring of 1997) I had to have some minor surgery. I recall laying on the gurney in the prep area while the med tech fixed me up with an IV. He fiddled around with things for a few minutes and [...]

If we could spend every Sunday like we did yesterday, I’d be a happy woman. To be honest, the weekend didn’t start out all that great. Aside from an excellent dinner at the DC Steakhouse on Friday night (WARNING if you visit the site, it has sound – WHY does anybody do that anymore, I [...]

This is probably going to be rather stream-of-consciousness, as I’m writing with the specific intent of making myself feel better. It’s a trick I use from time to time; sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. This mood I’m in is a very dark one, so I wouldn’t take it personally at all if you decided [...]
Work – The Great Silencer of Blogs

Believe me, there’s nothing I’d like better than to post daily to this blog. But I’m five and a half articles into an assignment load that totals (counting) SIXTEEN that are due by this Friday. I kind of got loaded up this week because of a special project, which on the one hand WOO MONEY, [...]

Please, if you love me, just go watch this. Then come back. THIS. This right here is why I’m so fucking homesick. You guys. How many times have I gone on and on about Portland, and J’s Oyster (4:04 to about 7:41)? How many times have I lauded the good folk that inhabit my home [...]
