How About A Nice Glass of Haterade?
Haters
Derivative slang from the term “playa’ hater.”
Meaning, as best as I have been able to glean by context, people who have an obnoxious desire to dismiss, demean or devalue a person, or “playa” to be specific.
Since many of us don’t consider ourselves to be “playas,” the derivative term “haters” is used to describe those who [...]
The House
ell the kitties and I have spent two nights together so far in the house. I have to admit that I’m not enjoying it so much, because I hate putting things away. I keep looking and the piles and piles of boxes everywhere (not to mention the mound of shoes sitting in front of my [...]
So Exhausted…And I Wasn’t Even The One Doing The Packing!
didn’t think I could be this tired from moving, when I wasn’t even the one doing the packing.
I was roused out of bed this morning by the two guys sent by the moving company to pack up the house. They surprised me since I was told that that they would arrive between 8 AM [...]

I’d Rather Starve!

Advanced Directive
onight, after much avoidance and stalling, I have updated my health care directive. I was smart enough to have created one sometime during my mid-thirties. I wanted to be sure that my wishes were carried out in the event that I was incapacitated. It was hard to go through the various scenarios in WillMaker and [...]
The Snow Pea Arranger
esterday in the cafeteria at the salad bar, there was an interesting man in front of me. He was nattily dressed wearing a blue blazer in an office casual environment. His grey-streaked hair slicked back to little curls at the nape.
His salad plate was decorated artfully, I noticed immediately, with an array of snow [...]
