    allergies. gluten. what we ingest changes our body. food is engineered to trick your system, which is a product of eons of evolution. don’t let it happen.

    “stir the soup, please” she called from the other room. it was getting close to the time guests were scheduled to arrive and she still had curlers in her hair and slippers on. i loved nights like this, happy to help out in the kitchen preparing for the glamorus dinner party to come.

    he talks to himself all the time. he talks to me all the time. the content is totally different. he knows himself, what’s happening where it really counts. he tells me only what’s happening where it doesn’t count so much. i’m glad he knows himself, i just wish he would be less scared about sharing it with me, too. it’s a safe place.

    rise and shine, she said. it was almost always after noon. she shone all the time, inside out, even through the storms, it was like a sun shower. long nights of drinking, taking advantage of the fact that her father was filthy rich and almost always out of town. not aware of the damage it (may have) caused. hung over, but joyous from the good times the night before: rise and shine, she said.

    sigh. one of my coworkers was accused of assault yesterday. he’s a good dude, going through some stressful times. his buttons were pushed. he did something stupid. the other guy’s calling it assault, but we […]

    today, my husband made a bowl of air-popped popcorn for a snack. it was less of a disaster than i was expecting, but there was too much salt. i got the air-popper as a bridal shower gift from my dear aunt m. […]

    the handmade ones never seem to be the right size; either so small they make no impact, or so large you can’t see the person across from you. my mother always had it right; long and low, lots of sparkle and texture. it always felt like a holiday. branches, candles.

  • mrs. f wrote about the word stacks 1 year, 8 months ago

    the photographs are all mingled together- trying to separate them into stacks that make sense. chronologically? but once i think i have it, i find more from the summer of 95, and from the wedding i was in a year ago. i’m giving up the control of my photo albums- they will be in the [...]

    Take me there. I think I’m ready. It always feels scary, but I’ve never been too afraid to peek. Time to go over. This is my year, I can feel it.

    Like the fog. Feeling clearer these days. Density of life on my shoulders, in my heart. Things don’t have to be so foggy.

  • mrs. f wrote about the word playground 1 year, 8 months ago

    there was this huge, huge slide; and not just huge because you were so little and it was so big- this thing was grand. so grand that years later, damn litigious society, it was taken out. i was always to scared to go down it, and i don’t know that i ever did. i preferred [...]

  • mrs. f wrote about the word evidence 1 year, 8 months ago

    where did it come from? how can i get it? you say it’s proof, but there’s two sides to every story. doubt is the first thought. challenge what i’m told, prove it to me, i don’t believe you. i don’t believe you’ll stay. the things i doubt the most are the things that only time [...]
