Middle-aged Angst
“Should I let the doctor burn up my uterus?” I ask him. We are in bed. I am reading “Bitch.” “The Power of No” and “Going Gray” are stacked up beside me, waiting. He sighs heavily. I look over his shoulder. The lines of his code are a foreign language to me. He’s typing in [...]
“True age spots are harmless and don’t need treatment, but they can look like cancerous growths,” says the Mayo Clinic. Lovely. I feel so much better and more attractive now, don’t you? In my quest to balance this natural, wholesome journey towards aging gracefully, I’ve tripped a bit when it comes to my skin. Gray [...]
Seriously, you guys, this crop of roots is getting too gray to ignore. Right? Of course, I’m not actually ignoring it, since I’m taking a picture of my roots every couple of weeks and showing the world, but you know what I mean. If I don’t erase the gray soon, I’ll be…a gray-haired lady. Goodness. [...]
Have you been half asleep And have you heard voices? I’ve heard them calling my name. Are these the sweet sounds that called The young sailors, I think they’re one and the same.

Sometimes things are heavy and they hurt when they slam into me. If I were a football player I’d be prepared and wear pads and a helmet, but I’m just a mom with a rational fear of head injuries. I’d rather my troubles were light and feathery and would just float away on a cool breeze [...]
Angelina did this for MOVIE, not in real life. For the record. For some strange reason the internets are interested in my hair. I can fly my mannequin to Vegas and take her to the U2 concert and spend hours making a video and writing about it for 250 clicks over time, or I can [...]
We went to the Oregon Country Fair, one of the largest outdoor craft fairs in the country, where art and music and love flow freely in the woods in Veneta, Oregon, just a stone’s throw from Eugene, where many say the counter culture incubated in Ken Kesey’s psychedelic bus before it flew over the cuckoo’s nest.
