Meet Fido!
Posted on August 31, 2008 by 8junebugs
Fido Ficus, that is. Consider this step one toward parenting an eventual puppy or person. I spent 10 precious Ikea minutes evaluating different combinations of dried sticks and grass in various and unacceptably priced vases that weigh as much as my car. In the end, I came to terms with the fact that I? Suck [...]

New Rule
Posted on August 30, 2008 by 8junebugs
Scrapbooking needs to happen more often than once every seven years, especially if you’re the unofficial family photographer and/or a documentation junkie. Sheesh. I’m not even getting fancy — I’m just putting photos away and writing in names and some simple captions. I fancy myself the link in my family between “tossing unlabeled photos in [...]

Labors, by day
Posted on August 30, 2008 by 8junebugs
Today is about paper: Scrapbooking, filing, shredding, correspondence, etc. Reading, perhaps…and some writing. Tomorrow is about fabric: Sewing, knitting, laundry, stash organization. Monday is about wellness: Cooking, baking (time for some of my healthy chocolate muffins!), and relaxing. Somewhere in there, I shall learn for myself that the cake is a lie. And get some [...]

Never second-guess the mistakes of your opponent
Posted on August 29, 2008 by 8junebugs
I read that in a sci-fi/fantasy novel somewhere, and today? Today, it rings loudly in my head and provides a lovely soundtrack for my little ”Governor Who?” dance. If you haven’t heard, Senator McCain has selected Alaska Governor Sarah Palin for to balance out the Republican ticket. Female to attract HRC supporters? Check! Young enough to [...]

Job well done

McCain on Obama accepting the nomination on the 45th anniversary of the “I Have a Dream” speech. Somehow, the timbre of this ad rubs me the wrong way. Capt. Smug Git…it seems like coattail riding. Can we run an ad about the Republican Convention conveniently coinciding with the landfall of a hurricane? I mean, shouldn’t [...]

No way. No how. No McCain.

She would still make a damn fine president. Instead, this year, she is the force behind Democratic unity, and she is more than equal to the task. Miss her speech last night? READ IT WATCH IT Hillary Rodham Clinton makes me proud of her, proud of all of us…and proud to be everything I am.

Run away! Run away!

My “flight” response is kicking into overdrive. Years ago, I blogged about “discovering” that my body produces excess cortisol. “Discovering” is a generous term — they don’t test you for this, but years of symptom evaluation and treatment trial and error have narrowed to this: the stress hormone that regulates the human fight/flight mechanism is [...]

Revue Review
Posted on August 25, 2008 by 8junebugs
Dear “Men of The Cave” Cave Men: Listen, I’m all for a little naughtiness, and I appreciate that this is how you make money. But you guys give strippers a bad name. I’m told it wasn’t always like this. I’ve heard that, long ago, in your old location, there was more dancing and less whoring. More [...]
