I am thinking about the first time I ever heard the song Hollaback Girl, and I was scandalized because I thought she was saying “I ain’t no Harlem black girl.”

Apparently squirrels in Silicon Valley have turned carnivore. I’m not super excited about this new step of evolution.

There’s something so sad about seeing a person alone on a walk, when every other time you’ve seen them they’ve been accompanied by a dog…

My fellow wearers of black, I did an experiment so you don’t have to.

Everything in my closet & drawers are typically shades of black (did you know it comes in shades? Some have a green underhue, or purple, or blue & on & on).

Heading to the BraveMaker film festival this afternoon. Inexplicably, I always become nervous about seeing myself on screen.

See “1958”:

I attended the birthday of a dear friend, yesterday. He’s an artist, so many of his guests were, also. It took place in the woods with BBQ and unlimited pie, and ended with bagpipes. Spending time with other artists feeds my soul more than all the BBQ and pie in the world🩷

Jogged for the 1st time, since breaking my back & 3 new levels of titanium(2+ years, 6 levels total: T12-S1).

It was slow & hurt a lot, but Beastie Boys helped. Hopefully I can also find the will to write again.

I’m determined to find myself, but she knows how to hide.

Found some brand new pants in my drawer that I don’t remember buying. They’re comfy and cute and have pockets. The day is looking up, so far.

I’m watching the special report between our president and the Ukrainian president and ours is acting like a gross bully. I am so embarrassed right now

Thinking about the time I stopped by my grandmother’s house w/3 high school friends & she came to the door without pants (thank gawd her glamorous silk blouse was juuust long enough). She said it was too hot for pants & “taking a dip [in the backyard pool]” was more convenient this way.

I kept seeing an eyelash on my cheek so I went to pinch it away and…it was a wrinkle.

Flashing back to when I was a middle school drama teacher and all the boys would wear Valentine stickers so that they could run around yelling, “I got a heart on!”

Good times.

Are you ever homesick for a period of time? I find myself wishing I could go back to when my kids were little just for a day or two…

IN THE KITCHEN...

ME: I usually have to think “What would a normal person do in this situation” and hope it turns out okay.

MY KID: Well, that’s not good news for me because I’m always thinking, “What would Mom do in this situation.”

I did exactly one pageant in my life. It was enough. I’m the one in purple. I wrote about the experience (short read):
