Sports injuries suck

by Kathi D on March 12, 2009

Thank goodness for miracle-working Dr. Pam! She laid her magic hands on my back and within seconds, located the trouble spot and loosened up the grippy muscles quite a bit. She says my pelvis is out of whack. If I had a nickel for every time somebody told me that . . . 
Here’s what is [...]

Dehydratus interruptus

by Kathi D on October 29, 2008

I decided it would be way cool to buy a food dehydrator so I could turn my tomato harvest into “sun”dried tomatoes. This one did a great job on the first batch, and then . . . 
The house was awash with the lovely aroma of tomatoes drying, a smell like summer itself, until the damn [...]

We had a heavily literary weekend in Sun Valley at the Sun Valley Writers’ Conference, which was just as awesome as always. This was our fourth time there, and it’s our favorite event of every year. I’ll have lots to say about it later on. For now I will report that I discussed the laying [...]

Two rants and a rave

by Kathi D on August 21, 2008

OK, so Diana has failed to heed The Memo. Diana, I would so hate to have to send Tiny to visit. You know, Tiny don’t like nobody. That’s exactly what he says, “Tiny don’t like nobody.” He refers to himself in the third person, which ordinarily would make me so angry that I would slap [...]

The Russian has humbled me

by Kathi D on August 20, 2008

Dang it! How I hate being put in my place by those Russkies! I shouldn’t be surprised, though. My husband’s grandparents emigrated from Russia, so I am not unaware of their strengths and Communist charms. My father-in-law Nick (His Real Name Since he is No Longer Living and Able to Sue Me or Have Me [...]

I’m in Boise and you’re not

by Kathi D on August 1, 2008

Well, I’m not so braggy-pants now, am I? We drove from Sun Valley to Boise today, a distance of about 100 miles and six levels of Hell.
We have never spent a night in Boise before, and I well remember Rick instructing me to make reservations at a “charming” place and not one of those cold [...]

Yo soy mas cranky than you

by Kathi D on July 18, 2008

I’m tired and cranky and I know that when I finally drop exhausted into bed, I will lie awake till dawn again. So instead of being all pissy, I will share one of my favorite scenes from The Big Lebowski. Hey! Maybe I’ll watch it again tonight instead of counting sheep.
