Poconos (Part One)

Provence de Pocono

It’s surprisingly hard to pack when you don’t know where you are going.  It’s also surprisingly hard to pack when you haven’t remembered to collect your suitcase from your little brother.  Good thing I’m a resourceful bitch, eh?

While I rifled through our collection of duffel bags and Whole Food reusable shopping bags, Mom [...]

Math is Hard, Barbie

I reached over and introduced myself to the new guy at the table. “Hi, I’m Elly…Thom’s sister,” I said as I stood to extend my hand across the table. My eyes traveled upwards for what seemed like an eternity.  Saying nothing, he loomed over me like a giant Asian Frankenstein.  He shook my hand and sat [...]

NaBloPoMo

I don’t know if you’ve heard, but I’m the teensy weensiest bit Type A.  And yet, somehow I’m also incredibly good at unemployment.  What can I tell you, Interwebz?  I’m an enigma.

The last time I enjoyed unemployment was fresh from my “downsizing” at Columbia Records.  (That is a story that you won’t get out of [...]

Pep Talks

We interrupt today’s regularly scheduled blog to announce yet another wonderful person is embarking on the fight of his life.  Fuck you, cancer.  Fuck you, lymphoma.  While we’re at it and it simply can’t be said enough – fuck you, Rod Stewart.

Rocco has a friend whose husband was recently diagnosed with some crazy rare form of [...]

Panties

Look out Dad; I’m going to talk about my honey pot again.  (Rocco insisted I use that word.  He thinks its HIGHsterical.)

Well, it’s not my vag up for discussion exactly.  This is more of a shout out to all the Twilight fans out there that also possess vaginas.  Well technically you don’t actually NEED a vagina [...]

Waking

I know you’ve got to be getting tired of hearing about my chemo brain in all my ramblings on the Interwebz.  Day after day it’s my go to excuse for the stupid things I do – locking myself out of the house, placing dinner in the oven but never turning it on, continuing to watch Parks [...]

Test Drives

All is not well on the kitty front.  All isn’t bad exactly, just decidedly not good.  We went back for more tests to see if any of the new drugs were working.  The answer?  In a word, no.

Turns out her teeny tiny heart is now kicking out a BP of over 300.  They also called Saturday [...]

Night o' Light

On the Bridge

Well.  I’m glad I did it, but holy crap that was miserable…and I’ve got the cold to prove it.

First and foremost, gold stars and David Lee Roth kicks for my team.  I can’t decide if my respect for them has increased because they made it out in such shitty conditions, or if it’s [...]

All the Chemo Branies

Brain.

Not working.

For shit, today.

In fact, my head actually hurts from heavy brain. I started about four different potential posts this morning only to repeatedly get lost in verb conjugation.

I also can’t stop singing “All the Single Ladies” in my head.  Are the two directly related?  Can’t tell ya.  I like Beyonce an awful lot when my [...]

Walk With Us

I have a few NYC tourist activities on my list of things that I MUST do, but somehow never have.  I want to climb to the crown of the Statue of Liberty.  I want to ride the Tram to Roosevelt Island.  But the number one MUST do item on that list is walk [...]
