Happy End Of Summer, Folks!Yes, I took some Time Off from The Blog. Personally, I think The Blog is Dead. Not this one, specifically. I just mean Blogs In General. I think Facebook and Twitter Killed The Blog, with Lethal Doses of Ease Of Posting Ideas. Still, I miss being Creative and Storytelling. So I am returning to The Scene Of The Crime.This summer has been A Rough One, I am not going to

Hey. So, how 'bout That Michael Jackson? On Thursday, I came home from Work and discovered that not only had Farrah Fawcett Died, but so had Michael Jackson.

Today I was playing The Where Game with a group of my Third Graders. This is one of those Basic Theatre Games that teaches a student How To Show An Audience Where One Is without words, simply by really believing in One’s Imagined Activities and Actions. Basically, I give the class A Location and then one by one, each eight year old goes on up and adds a character and activity to our silent story.

Oh. Hey. Hi, There.Well, like I said, I have been Pretty Busy these days. My Big Work Project – the one I have been working on since December -- has its World Premiere in two weeks on The School Stage. It is going to be Really Good and Super Cute, I think. Of course, I may be slightly biased, being The Big Work Project’s Director. Also, I have decided that I Should Go To Graduate School next year

As most of you know, I have been Exercising every single day since the beginning of the year. Twice a week, I take A Dance Class. And the rest of the time, I Walk. I usually travel between three and five miles when I Walk and I tell myself I don’t have to go Very Fast. My Walk is just an hour or so alone with Me.One of the Benefits of Walking So Much is that I get out of the house and See Things.

I usually hate doing These Things and am only doing it because of Peer Pressure which is the same excuse I use when I eat too many peanuts at a baseball game.I used to smoke a pack and a half a day to two packs a day for eight years. I quit Cold Turkey in 1996. And then for some reason, I started up again in 2003. But then I quit again, Cold Turkey a year later. I Won't Ever Smoke Again.I won't

During my Dating Years, I was A Big Fan of that book, He's Just Not That Into You. Scoff if you like, but the book made Complete Sense and it amazes me that friends would Mock It. In case you are living under a rock or just plain In Denial, He's Just Not That Into You was a self-help book from a few years back, written by a couple of the Sex and The City scribes.

Today, I went for a nice, long walk along the Venice Beach Promenade. In case you know nothing about Venice Beach, California, or its Walk Along The Pacific Ocean, I shall fill you in: It is full of Freaks. No, really. It is Freak City. Ironically, there is a Freak Show along the walk that you can pay $10 to enter. But I don’t know Why Anyone Would Pay To See Freaks when Free Freaks Are Plentiful

It came out Screaming and wouldn’t Stop. It probably would have been Nice to have at least posted An Eviction

Friday, I frantically finished knitting A Froggy Hat and Froggy Slippers for Totally Awesome Husband’s Sister’s Baby Shower, which was on Saturday. I thought this was going to take, like 30 Minutes. But, instead it seemed to take me 30 Hours, and I was working on it until The Wee Hours. Of course, I started it over a month ago and just put it all off until The Last Minute.

Friday, I had The Day Off again. Technically, I should be Working From Home On Fridays. But, right now, there is little to do Work-Wise and I find myself Stumped with What To Do With Myself. This Friday, I went Food Shopping. I Read part of a book. And then I Took A Nap. Later, after Totally Awesome Husband came home from work, we went out for Dinner at That Tapas Place Down The Block That We

The night before The Wedding, I Freaked Out. I mean, like Totally Freaked Out. Totally Awesome Husband and I had invited everyone all of our Wedding Guests to one of our favorite Happy Hour Joints. Lots of people came, including My Family, His Family, Old Neighbors From Back East, Etcetera. It was really touching to see all of these people and know that they flew in to Los Angeles just for The

Friday, I had My First Day Off. I went back to Work on Thursday, the first day back since The Wedding, The Honeymoon, and The End Of The School Year. Yes, it was Back To School time for The Daily Randi and it felt like A Really Long Day. So, Friday, I decided I would do Absolutely Nothing. Well, besides catching up on Hours of Bad, Tivod Television. Otherwise, I did Nothing! Oh, I attended A

Many of you know, I am Obsessed with The New York Times Wedding Pages. I have written about it before – I have been reading These Pages, published on Sundays, religiously since I was in College.

Friday, we had A New Cleaning Lady come in and Clean for us. She did An Amazing Job. And I think we may have found someone Who Cleans And Doesn’t Steal, which is A Big Relief. Three months is Way Too Long to go without A Dusting around here and A Fear Of Disappearing Scotch. Ah, Fresh Scents.Friday, I also completed making All Of My Stupid Favors.

To be honest, I am kind of Excited for My MOM to come for A Visit. She hasn’t been to Los Angeles in over Two Years, mostly because I beg her Not

I have gotten maybe Three Hours of Sleep in the last Three Days. I would Call The Doctor and Complain, but I really do feel So Much Better than I did at the beginning of the week. However, last night, The Lack Of Sleep was So Bad, I got up and decided to

As The Wedding fast approaches, I find I am really beginning to Miss My Dad. My Father died when I was Sixteen. He became ill with Pancreatitis, was in the hospital for Four Months. He went into A Coma. And then he Died. It was a really tough time for me. Sixteen is not a good time to lose a parent.I don’t dwell on My Father’s Death like I used to when I was younger. Most days, I don’t even think

Okay. So The Doctor declared me Sick. He thinks I have A Cold. And some sort of Infection. I left his office armed with prescriptions for Cough Syrup, Anti-Inflammatory Pills, An Antibiotic, and A Sample Of Heartburn Medication.When I was called in from The Waiting Room, I was led to The Examination Room. A Nurse asked me, "Why are you here?" And I told her, "Listen, I am Getting Married in A

Listen. I'm Sick. Like Really Sick. I can't stop Sneezing. I Slept all day. I made an appointment with The Doctor for tomorrow. I am going to Demand Anti-Biotics just in case this Cold takes A Turn For The Worse, which I Think It Already Has. But, that's merely A Self Diagnosis, which is Why I Need To See A Doctor.

Okay, I am officially Sick. I have A Sore Throat, I am Coughing. I am Unbelievably Tired. I have been subsiding on a diet consisting of Pop Tarts and Chicken Noodle Soup for Days. I know I am Sick because I have No Desire For Da Drink. And when Totally Awesome Fiancé mentioned Taking Me Out To Dinner, all I did was Cough. I am taking Cold Medicine. I have A Very Busy Week ahead, so I hope that I

I'm Sick. My throat Hurts. I seem to need to blow my nose A Lot. But, really my throat is Killing Me.
