About Me

Stuff I like: Face-carved moonstones, forever stamps, siamese cats, basset hounds with pink collars, garlic breath, the way silk and wool smell when they're wet, leftovers, checking and finding interesting things in the couch cushions, salad for breakfast, fiestaware, stepping on crunchy leaves, giggling with silly people, beets, wild technicolor dreams, cute little gerbils standing on their hindquarters squeeking and bouncing when they want a snack, the library online database, reading to my kid, the smell of cucumber oil, itty-bitty teeny tiny oil paintings (and weird little bears too), orange phones, knitting, free stuff, the Mona Lisa, the fluffy black cat who runs over to my car to greet us and lets us pet him, chocolate silk in my coffee, the opportunity to perform the occasional good deed, a whole day at home to putter, sleeping ten hours straight, keeping lists, cellphones and the internet, cherry chapstick, scented geraniums, fading hydrangea bushes, blue horses, crossword puzzles, online scrabble.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

What will be your Edward Gorey death?
You will perish of fits. You are used to getting your own way. Everyone loves you. You will die because someone didn't give you everything you want. Get over yourself or this will be your fate.

I'm having a crisis

I'm having a crisis and it's all in my head.  I actually shed a tear from each eye a little while ago.  I'm sure my friends are sick of hearing about it.  I waffle between tolerating the situation and...

I like rainbow colors lately, a lot.  My spreadsheets are color-coded red orange yellow green blue indigo violet.  My kitchen has a red sugar bowl and cutting board, an orange soup pot and colander, a...

sleepover

There are a bunch of eight-year old boys here.  Actually, one is five, one is ten, and the rest are eight.  One of them keeps farting.  I told him he is banished to the bathroom to poop.  He says he's...

amazing restaurant

Lizz and I decided to look for somewhere to have dinner on Capitol Hill.  Lizz spotted a gothic-looking place called Bleu and I agreed.  I couldn't believe it:  it was like walking into a cave or a du...

update

Nothing much going on around here.  Have been accused of being sullen a couple of times this past week, to my perplexion.  Sat in the front row at something the other day and was asked to pick the car...
