Me and My Spasticity

Not *Those* Kind of Brownies

May 5, 2009

Yeah, so teacher appreciation week. I have a great deal of respect for teachers.  Especially Cassidy’s teacher because Lord only knows how she manages Cassidy andtwenty other kids.  Heck.  Cassidy alone is the equivalent of twenty kids.

Darcie’s Laws of the Universe. Undocumented Until Now.

May 4, 2009

January 28, 2009

Jeff said I should blog about all of the ways in which I am a freak. What are you talking about?  Give me an example. I’m not going to deny my freak status.  But I needed something to go on.  General freakishness does not a blog topic make. Like, how you worry about things. Like [...]

In the Continuing Saga of My Grocery Store Groupie

January 24, 2009

I had another run in with the broom guy at Fry’s today. Normally I don’t post on the weekends but I couldn’t not fill you in on the latest encounter with my grocery store groupie. So there I was, picking up the limes I forgot to buy yesterday so that my resident bartender could whip [...]
