In my college psychology class we took a couple of class periods to talk about sleep. Everybody needs it. Sure, some people need less and some people need more, but it’s essential for everyone. The funny thing is, nobody knows why. There’s all sorts of theories, some more prevalent and accepted than others. But that…

I’m taking an art class. My teacher rents out classrooms in various locations around the valley and does an open art workshop. That means that in any given class there are people of all different levels working in different mediums. I’m kind of in love with it. I’ve had maybe six classes so far (one…

I’ve been obsessed with San Francisco for the past year or so. I’m not really sure where the obsession came from. It would maybe make sense if I had seen a special on the travel channel or read a great book set in San Francisco. I didn’t. I just love San Francisco. I’ve been telling…

Cats shed. Dogs smell. Gerbils poop on your hands. Fish have dirty, disgusting tanks and eat each other. I understand that many people have deep, emotional connections to their pets and I am glad that they have found something so meaningful. I support eliminating cruelty to animals.

The plan: Meet in Utah for pictures, then drive to California for a magical Disneyland adventure. Current status: Trekking with family, caravan style, to the happiest place on Earth. The result: Me wallowing on…

Why am I a champion? I got all my numbers (cholesterol, glucose, all that fun stuff) and I’m about as healthy as they come. (My pulse was a little higher than usual at 56, but that’s what happens when you prick my finger. I freak out and things like blood pressure and heart rate go…

No really, I was. Not that it was really a skinniness problem. It was more of a modesty problem. Turns out when you run in pants that are too big for you, they fall down. I remedied the situation last night. My niece and I went shopping and she helped me pick out some clearance…

I made this last night. See? Hers may have looked better. But it sure didn’t taste any better. That thing was delicious. I’ve got enough of the innards left to do another one tonight. I think this time I’ll leave the sauce out and put in extra cheese, then have the sauce on top. Yumm.…
