Ironically, I just whipped up a bunch of mala bead bracelets yesterday while sitting at my kitchen table. Of course mine don't have a charm on them. Yet.

I know! It makes you wonder what Beauprez did to make himself unelectable.

This! In Colorado ballots were mailed to people. All they had to do was fill it out and mail it in or drop it off. They couldn't have made it easier if the state came and picked up the ballots or drove them to the drop off station. Now we have Cory Fucking Gardner as our senator. But pot is legal! God bless America!…

Thank you for the tip on RationalWiki. That is amazing! I pity the poor soul who has to monitor CP.

Awwww! Congratulations to all the newly married couples!

I got though the holidays without eating any sweets/goodies. Who knew the rest of the winter/early spring would be a minefield of temptation? Thanks a lot Obama.

That was an amazing read!

Good lord!

I quit piano lessons at age 12. I have no musical talent and even at that young age knew it. My mother insisted I tell the piano teacher herself, so she drove me over to her house and I stood in her kitchen listening to another student and waited for her to give me a minute to tell her I quit. When she finally broke…

My husband and I are home drinking rum, not unlike a Friday or Saturday night. I didn't make resolutions this time; my only hope for 2015 is that things don't get worse: no one loses their job, no one dies, our financial situation doesn't collapse, the cats are okay, everyone is healthy. Other than that I am going to…

We snooped but never found where my mom hid our gifts. Ever. I am thinking she must have kept them in the trunk of her car. I should ask her.

That is awesome! What a good hunter! I have a small wooden bird ornament on my tree and my cat Winston used to climb up to get it. The cats I have now are just content to lay under it. One of my Maine Coons will carry a stuffed hedgehog chew toy in his mouth, moaning as if he killed it. He usually lays it at my feet…

My kitties lay under the tree. I think they think they are outside.

I got pneumonia once for Christmas. Good times.

He did end up going with me and he loved it! What sealed the deal is that we watched Zodiac on Netflix and he liked it and I told him the same director did Gone Girl and he was in.

I was in a puddle jumper once and we were coming in to land and suddenly the pilot had to pull up because there was a plane on the runway where we were supposed to land. The only way to describe it was going down the first hill on a roller coaster. Everyone was deathly silent and the stranger (woman) who was sitting…

I live in Denver and travel a lot for my job and every flight I have been on over the mountains is turbulent. Every one. Once we were coming back from Phoenix and the whole plane dropped suddenly after a prolonged bout of turbulence. It rattled my teeth.

My husband freaks out at turbulence and I have to calm him down.

I just recommended it too. It was a good book.

There is a great book about Rudolf's suicide and the mood in Vienna at the time titled, "A Nervous Splendor: Vienna 1888-1889," by Frederic Morton.
