Today, I attended a friend’s music class for preschoolers. I needed an outfit that would 1) allow me to sit on the floor gracefully 2) have a high enough neckline to prevent flashing anyone and 3) prevent me from sweating to death on the walk to my friend’s studio. Two out of three ain’t bad; [...] 
My mother doesn’t like wearing much brown; she says it makes her feel like a little brown wren. Having inherited her medium-brown hair, I sympathize— though neither of us are half so cute as a real wren. Troglodytes aedon There’s no competing with that. Today, I submitted job applications and [...] 
Today, a good friend took me out for lunch. This allowed me to talk with a lovely person AND eat delicious food AND wear interesting clothes AND leave the gosh darn house. Having been unemployed for slightly over a month, even leaving the house is more excitement than I can stand.

What is wrong with this picture? Aside from the lighting, exposure, composition, and pedicure?

To make a long story bearable, Ian will be working at NMSU for the next year. So! I left both jobs, we packed our bags, and Ian drove from Pennsylvania to New Mexico. (Grendel and I mostly slept.) This will be our home: Our house/ in the middle of our street/ our house/ is [...] 
Because there is no such thing as a one size fits all thong:
For an underwear manufacturer, they don’t seem to know much about rumps. 
Monday, I went to the dentist. Having not been since, oh, November of 2005, I figured this check-up would lead to more appointments, eight or ten fillings, several extractions, lots of shaming and guilt, and probably drain all my savings. But no. There’s one spot I need to floss more carefully (it wants to [...] 
There was one big reason I didn’t feel ready to shave my head (and may have put it off indefinitely). Rather, hundreds of small, bumpy, red or white, cystic, open wound, enlarged pore type reasons. I have acne. Have since adolescence, and I’m now 26. Even at best, my pores are always large, my cheeks [...] 
Wake up. Decide to trim hair. Success!
Later notice missed spot. Carelessly grab comb-less razor, shave stripe across head. Cry out in anguish, alarming domestic partner.
No recourse. Shave own head. Weep [...] |
