I ran across something recently that 1) has me giggling in silent rapture, and 2) has me thanking the author of this aptly-called Form Hate Mail (I'm giggling at the title, too), on Colleen Lindsay's blog "The Swivet," for leaving an opening somewhere in the query world for the rest of us.

It's my mother's birthday today! Happy Birthday Umi!!!! I love you! Your favorite, and only, daughter. =) Yes, I am actually baking a cake.

Don't ask...Unstable:When the intelligent part of your mind, the one that keeps you plugging through life and positive and moving in the right direction, gets beat the hell up consistently by the psychotic part of your mind.Damn bullies.

There is one day out of every week where my mother (umi) and I spend the day together. Usually, it falls on a Wednesday or Thursday, depending on my schedule for work and/or school.

Why is it that things always seem to happen to me in the middle of the night just as I am going to bed? Well, actually, it’s early morning, but who’s checking? First, it was the scraping noise in the wastebasket. Now, for the last three nights, I have had to fix the blasted toilet… Continue reading Things That Go Bump… Or Break… In the Night

It is two o’clock on Thursday morning and I came inside to finally head to bed, but first, I must partake in the usual bathroom activities before bedtime. You know, to rinse my mouth with the alcohol-free mouthwash so my new Monroe piercing does not get infected. Oh, and to brush my teeth, of course.… Continue reading Late Night Timbres
