bad things come in threes. or fours. (or maybe fives?)

On June 2, 2009 · 3 Comments · In honeymilk farm, mayalife

(1) Last week, when I was feeding our neighbor’s cats (they were out of town for a wedding—the neighbors, not the cats) some bozos broke into their house and stole their flatscreen. No shit! The weirdest part (besides feeling extremely vulnerable and freaked out) was that I heard the whole thing. I thought it was [...]

unexpected benefit of living in a round house #27

On April 26, 2009 · 5 Comments · In mayalife

Paul and I were having a fight one day, I don’t remember what about, something stupid probably—aren’t most of these fights about something stupid? It’s too bad you only realize that after the fact. Anyway, the fight reached a head and we both stomped off dramatically, as one is wont to do in those moments. [...]

slow news is good news

Well, first, I wanted to thank everyone who wrote to me expressing get well wishes or offering suggestions about my pitiful ears! It’s one thing to see the page-hit numbers on the blog report, but quite another to attach names and personalities to some of said numbers! Y’all are terrific!

And in answer to your [...]

say it isn’t so

Somewhere along the line I’ve gotten an evil case of tinnitus. It totally sucks. I notice it most at night, trying to sleep in the quiet yurt—quiet except for the whistle inside my head that I can not shut off. It makes me want to run screaming from the room, which helps, because I can’t [...]

bikini power vs. the ratty sweater

On March 6, 2009 · 10 Comments · In mayalife

First the backstory.

I was the chubby, poorly dressed, semi-ugly girl in my Hawaiian high school. Sad but true. I was NOT one of the slim, popular, Asian girls with their perfect skin and gorgeous thick, straight, hair. They had no butts, and no body hair, while I had plenty of both, and while booty [...]

spring fever workout unplan

On February 26, 2009 · 2 Comments · In mayalife

What is it about spring that makes me want to declutter my house, institute a budget, and lose 10 pounds?

Usually my Spring Fever is confined to a few weeks of activity, mostly centered around reading about decluttering, budgeting, and working out. In fact, one of my favorite spring activities is to eat junk food [...]

nyquil gives us back the good stuff

On January 9, 2009 · 18 Comments · In mayalife

Public service announcement! Nyquil is back! Huh, you say? Where did it go? Well, let me tell you.

Years ago I used to look forward to getting the sniffles because, hey, it meant I could cozy up to my big green jug of Nyquil and drift into a happy, floaty, dreamy sleep. Man, I loved [...]

Someone put cocaine in my cornflakes this morning. It’s not yet 10am but I’ve already made breakfast, milked goats, done a load of laundry, a load of dishes, cleaned up the yurt, made the beds, played trains with Luc, made a batch of chevre, ordered a new phone for my old dead one, and dyed [...]

the source of my power

It’s in my socks.

Okay, these are not my thighs. I had a thigh double brought in for this blog entry.

But these are my socks! I got them from Sockdreams.com, the dealer for sock junkies everywhere. It all started, innocently enough, with the red and white pair [...]

happy obama day! (and a little daft punk)

On November 5, 2008 · 1 Comment · In mayalife

I’m in a video mood, lately. So, in celebration of Obama Day, I’m putting up one of my favorites. I noticed, however, in going to get the link, that this little gem has gotten so popular there are legions of spin-offs! So, you might have already seen and enjoyed. If so, enjoy again! If not, [...]
