2026 Reading List
36 novels in 2025! I have been reading quite a bit: escapism! Here’s what is in queue for 2026 so far! King Sorrow is wrapping up, so I’m leaving on 2025. GREAT read! From 2025: The Sweetest Fruits, Monique Truong. (another xmess duplicate, but the hardback is nice!) Dream Girl, Laura Lippman. The Golden Gate, Amy Chua. 2025 Xmess Hurl: Filterworld, Kyle Chayka. The Sweetest Fruits, Monique…
New Year's Thoughts
I posted this on FB and realised it really should be HERE. It’s modified for my blog, but the content is the same. I’d love to be optimistic about 2026, but I just can’t get past the knowledge that we WILL have an economic meltdown, we just don’t know when. Nick got an official Operations Manager position and a raise, but we’ll still be lucky to break even with it. We currently run at a deficit,…
Post Tgiving Ramblings
I was going back and forth about writing out all my trials and tribulations since that’s all I do these days, but it’s that or not write at all, and I need to write. So. Since I last wrote, Halloween came and went and the nastiest Mercury Retrograde I’ve endured in a very long has finally ended. We had a Super Moon on top of this Retrograde, and I paid the price for not listening to my instincts.…
Hallmark Trek Ornament List
We can STOP any time we want! As of 2025, we’ve got 41 full sized and 3 minis. 😉 We’ve been working on these for at least 20 years! USS Enterprise NCC 1701 Constitution (TMP) USS Enterprise NCC 1701 Constitution restyled 2022 (SNW) USS Enterprise NCC 1701 Constitution (TOS Pilot 50th Anniversary Gold Edition) USS Enterprise NCC 1701 B Galaxy (Generations) USS Enterprise NCC 1701 C Galaxy…
It's That Time Again
It’s almost birthday time and I typically get a bit depressed about it. This year is especially bad if you know the number I’m looking at. If you don’t, well, just know it’s HIGH. This year has dragged on as we watch our country get closer and closer to fascism. We attended the No Kings protests a couple of weeks ago – my FIRST protest! – and it was heartening to see about a thousand people of…
Current State of VSG/GERD
I just saw a post by a woman who is in stage 3 kidney failure due to long term use of PPIs. Which is why I got off those things very soon after my VSG surgery. If you take them, you should start stepping down from them immediately. The product I talk about in this post would be an excellent way to do that. Read on. However, if you’ve not read it, I’d read my other post which includes the links to…
Wool Gathering Post
Got kind of a random list of stuff on my mind, so this post will be loosely organized. Enjoy! The main thing on my mind is something I’ve been struggling with for a while now. It is my status as The Party Girl™. I’ve always been known for knowing how to have a good time and I’ve certainly leaned into it over the years. I do love me a good party, true, but now that I’m getting old and slowing…
Quick and Easy Cheesecake Souffles
Quick and Easy Cheesecake Soufflés This is a riff on a cheesecake pie recipe I have. I only had one brick of cream cheese, so I came up with these easy little soufflés instead. Yummy! Ramekins sheet pan 1 8oz cream cheese (regular brick, not whipped or any of that) 2 Tbl sour cream (heaping Tbl, regular not low fat) 2 Tbl key lime juice (or reg lime, or lemon) 1 tsp vanilla extract 1/4 cup…
To Be Perfectly Clear
For those who need more clarity about what’s up: – I am not here to be your personal chef, therefore I do NOT owe you any dinners at any time. If you find this offensive, then leaving my sphere is the best move. I don’t miss you, HS. – I will not stand for abusive behavior couched in the notion that it was “for the best”. NOPE. Abuse is abuse and I don’t regret ditching you crazy bitches one…
Valentine's Dinner at Trader Vic's
Trader Vic’s Atlanta did NOT disappoint! Chef Julio runs a damn fine kitchen! I’d love to link to their site, but they’ve taken it down (!!! OMG THAT IS STUPID!!! ) “to work on it”. Sigh. But here’s their FB and IG. We had the Honi Honi Valentine’s menu, which was: – Tiki Drinks (Can’t remember the names, Nick’s was passion fruit something, mine, as you can see, was ON FIRE! LOL) – Pork Bao buns…
The Things We've Lost
I woke up with this post almost fully realised in my head this morning. This is a good sign! I hope to get back to writing more this year. I was thinking about the things we’ve lost to corporate greed. It’s a long list and I believe that these things that have been monetized to the hilt are part of the reason so many of us are depressed and bored. Here we go. MUSIC & TV Not only have we GenXers…
2025 Reading List
Welcome to a new year of reading! I read 28 novels and 26 graphic novels last year. Not bad! We start out 2025 by bringing over the two novels I’m reading right now: The Revenant, Michael Punke. Yes, the book that the movie is based on. I have a niche like of Westerns set in the great expansion West period. This one is well written – it’s my treadmill book, which means it’ll be finished in Jan…

And the Hits Keep Coming!
The end of the year is always a challenge with the holidays and spending and all that crap. But I did not have end a long term relationship on my Bingo Card. As I said in my whiny post on Oct 30, I am tired this year and I doubt I’ll do many social events: I am typically maudlin this time of year, but this year is really bad. I doubt I will do much socializing. Don’t be offended if I pass on…
The Season Finale I Expected
This timeline sucks. I knew the mouthbreathing hillbillies would win. This country’s history of racism and misogyny is not getting better or going away. Clearly. I knew that Obama was an anomaly. I also knew that many, MANY male democrats simply could not bear voting for a woman. I wish voting was PUBLIC. Let’s see who you REALLY are, fuckheads. I’ve been saying for YEARS that the majority of…

Two Steps Forward
One step back. Can’t win for losing. I am so tired. Tired of living paycheck to paycheck. Tired of having to pick and choose who gets medical care (me, Nick, Shasti). I’d LIKE to give my cat every chance to live longer, but I guess that’s OUT since we can’t afford the meds and getting that rotten tooth pulled, which will poison her system. Awesome. Tired of thinking things are looking up, only to…
DragonCon '24
I think this is the end of DragonCon for us. This year was TERRIBLE. We got Saturday passes only, since we just wanted to shop and get a couple of autographs. WELP. That was a bust. The line to get into the Mart was 2+ hrs. It was doubled up on the sidewalks, wrapped around the building several times AND serpentined through the loading dock. Needless to say, we did not get in. We did not get to…
