There are some just dog things, such as the way they trot in front of you with their ears back, going the way you go, that I just adore in this puppy of mine. I love how wherever I go in the house she follows me. My dog Autumn did that. It was one of [...]

Henry Louis Gates: Déjà Vu All Over Again
I’m Skip Gates’s friend, too. That’s probably the only thing I share with President Obama, so when he ended his press conference last Wednesday by answering a question about Gates’s [...]
Spam

I have to wonder, do the originators of the spam selling Penis Enlargement Pills and Best Orgasm Jelly Ever actually ever sell any of their crap? Seriously. What is their incentive in continuing to send these ads to our junk mail folders? Is it cost effective to pay to send the ads and hope one [...]
Losing Optimism

Maybe it’s one of those things in life many of us are supposed to go through, realizing over and over that our dreams and wishes will not come true. Oh, I’m not saying all our hopes will fall by the wayside, only that there are some things that no matter how much we want them, [...]
Who are the Real “Activists”?
Posted in Politics, Society, tagged activism, Activist judges, Congress, Democracy, Judges, life, Politics, President, Society, Supreme Court, USA on July 16, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I absolutely agree with the premise of this article, that if we are going to define a judge’s decisions as activist, it should be based on the numbers of times the judge went against the laws designed by congress and signed into law by the president. It certainly should not be based on the holdings [...]
I Can’t Sleep
Posted in Loneliness, Personal, Relationships, life, tagged Insomnia, life, Loneliness, Personal, Relationships, Sleeping on July 13, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I just don’t sleep. Last night I dragged my ass into bed at 1 and even though I was tired, I did not sleep. And this morning I woke up at 6:29. For the last five days it was 6:43, right on the button. A weird time coincidence. But not today. Today I woke even [...]
Summer Blahs
Posted in Personal, tagged life, Personal on July 12, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Seems like everyone I know is doing summer things and we’re stuck in this nasty, hot city with no lakes, no mountain bikes, no mountains, no beaches, and most of all no money to leave and go do something better.
Have I mentioned lately how much I really hate living in New York?
Pregnancy Insomnia
Posted in Children, Family, Love, Personal, life, tagged babies, childhood, Children, Family, life, Love, parenting, Personal, Pregnancy on July 11, 2009 | 2 Comments »
It does not matter when I go to bed, I wake up at 6:43 a.m. every day, usually to pee, then cannot go back to sleep. By the time my body might consider going back to sleep, it has to pee again. Pregnancy is so fun. There is also often the problem of a numb [...]
Mini Rant Against Retailers

Headline on Yahoo! today: Retailers Report Weak June Sales.
Well, duh. Has anyone been to retail stores lately? Especially clothing stores? It’s like retailers think we are all rolling in dough or something. And even if we were rolling in dough, the prices on shitty crap made in China are obscene, especially at stores that like [...]
Pregnancy Brain

I heard someone say or I read somewhere that “pregnant women are stupid.” I have to agree. Having gone from a person with so many thoughts running through my head I had to start a blog to deal with them all so I could focus on the other stuff I wanted to write, [...]

Gads, I love my puppy. I know this is a silly thing to write about, but she is just such a dear, sweet, delightful little dog, and I adore her so much that I had to say so. She is so cute. She is small and white, with a happy grin. Her little butt looks [...]
Betrayal
Posted in Love, Personal, Relationships, life, tagged Betrayal, life, Love, men, Personal, Relationships, Women on July 3, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Betrayal is the breaking or violation of a presumptive social contract, TRUST, or CONFIDENCE that produces moral and psychological conflict within a relationship.
The most immediate effect of the betrayal of trust is in the emotional impact on the person betrayed. Generally speaking, the greater the trust that you had put in the other [...]
Bombing the Moon

Ever since I heard about NASA’s intention to bomb the moon (see the story here), thoughts and reactions to the news have been flittering in and out of my head. There are so many, I have had difficulty articulating what one definitive thing bothers me the most about it. Yet conclusively, my overall sense is [...]
