Ten Things

Bad Ass Bugs

Sometimes the Blog Fairies smile upon you.  I was drawing a complete blank on what to write today until Jamie from A Cheeto Named Larry (that is a FANTASTIC blog name) tagged me as someone he’d like to know more about.

Oh Honey, that was brave.

So now my little brain (that is still trying [...]

Snow. Boo. Hiss.

It would seem that I, Elly Lonon, am the only person on the face of the planet that doesn’t like snow.  Well I just don’t.  And no amount of cutesy photos of kids making snow angels or tweets about your dog’s icy paws is going to change my mind, damnit.  So suck it, snow lovers – [...]

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 [...]

Scanning for Signs of Life

First things first – in case you didn’t hear, I’m not dying.  Suck it, Cancer.  WOOT!

With the good news out of the way, I have to tell you just how miserable yesterday was.  Apparently weeks of terror are hard on a body.  I woke up this morning feeling like I’d drowned myself in a barrel of [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Control

Mom:  You ready to hit T.J. Maxx?

Me:  Sure, just let me pee first.

Mom:  You really should train [...]

Technical Difficulties

I really need to check my horoscope and see what in the hell is going on with me this week.  I’m fully devoid of energy and focus.  It just took me twenty minutes to figure out how to get my crock pot going.  Did I mention there’s only one button on that thing?  It’s hardly a [...]

Sticky Situation

Any squeamish men should stop reading now.

I don’t like to complain.  (I can already hear my siblings and mother smothering their guffaws at that statement, but roll with me, people.)  I mean, I’m pleased as punch that my pubes grew back in and Aunt Flow is visiting routinely again.  And yet, I’m rather annoyed to be [...]

Chicago

For whatever reason, I never seem to remember just how fantabulous downtown Chicago is.  While I think New York would still win the butterscotch pudding wrestle-a-thon to win the spot of most favorite city in my heart, Chicago comes in a pretty damn close second.

It’s definitely cleaner.  I wore flip-flops on a rainy afternoon and didn’t [...]
