Alison Blogs HereSemi-Dangerous When Thinking

When I looked out and saw snow, I thought with dread that we’d have one of those stupid delayed openings for school. It’s one thing when a delay gives the town time to clear the roads, quite another when the snowfall clearly has a long way to go before it lets up. Thank goodness they [...]
I hardly slept at all last night. It has been a very, very long time since something has bothered me enough that it kept me awake and ruminating. I received correspondence accusing me of malicious (and in one case, illegal) acts. It was in the form of a Cease-And-Desist letter, and I knew it would [...]
You know, despite all the therapy, medication, introspection, and self analysis, despite being older and wiser and having had all kinds of experience with all kinds of people, I still get these visceral reactions to certain things. While being told something that gets me defensive and angry still causes a physical reaction as well, I [...]
Ellie and Emma were trapped, along with two other cats from their litter, and put up for adoption. Their siblings, although feral, were social, and got adopted quickly. These two, though, were very skittish and frightened. I’d been treating them with tuna and cheese and chicken when I went to clean the cages, and when [...]
So I’ve been not posting here, but that’s because I’ve been busy with other things (and commenting too much elsewhere to have anything to say here!) I’m in the process of re-arranging the sewing area (again) so I can actually use it instead of just looking at it in despair. I’m hoping to also move [...]
Hmmm. As a person who’s spent a good deal of time trying to get her head on straight, I’ve done plenty of introspection, spent way too much time self-flagellating, and come a long way in self-improvement (but still have a ways to go, no question!) What brought this into the forefront of my brain this [...]
We had breakfast, opened presents, played with presents, and took the dog to the beach. And here’s a present for you. . . * Exported from MasterCook * Banana Gingerbread Recipe By : Serving Size : 10 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method ——– ———— ——————————– 2 cups whole wheat [...]
I spent three hours cleaning the cat area at the store this morning. Then I made phone calls to arrange a trip to Manhattan for about a dozen girls and moms. So hubby and the girls get to drag the tree in from the shed and decorate it. I’m taking a shower. One of these [...]
I had meant to link to this before, but it seems rather apropos to do it now, after the war against greed post. Ezra Klein, writing in the American Prospect, had an interesting piece on Thanksgiving. He subtitled it, “You may not know it, but you want to avoid the upcoming crush of Christmas consumerism. [...]
It should be interesting to see how this turns out. MyBlogLog is a Yahoo service for searching, tagging, and ranking blogs. I put this blog up and AlisonSews (better update that one, eh?) and have been exploring the various blog communities while the list is still small. They’re a little dicey about exactly what you [...]
