Negative Imprint


Today’s post is probably going to be a mishmash of whatever pops into my mind as I sit here. I’m at a park, watching the bright green grass appear from beneath the melting snow. We got several inches overnight but already the sun has chased away most of it.  I’ve been thinking about taking you, […]

Show Me Your Hands


Yesterday I found out that one of my followers on Instagram is a devotee.  Shit. I knew this might happen when I went public with the blog and put a couple of videos on YouTube.  My first reaction to finding out that someone is looking at pictures of me solely because they think my deformed […]

Kicking the Habit


Hi, my name is Heather and I’m a Facebook addict. What’s that saying?  The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem? Telling people you have a Facebook addiction doesn’t quite get the same reaction as saying you’re battling an alcohol or drug addiction. It’s not like anyone’s ever died from Facebooking too […]

Happy (Almost) Thanksgiving! 


Hello! Thanksgiving is two days away and Dave and I are hosting this year. Tomorrow is going to consist of me freaking out, panicking and most likely crying at some point as I prepare the house and the food. But I’m looking forward to it! Looking forward to Thursday, that is. It is my favorite […]

Leaving on a Jet Plane (Again)

Right now I’m taking a quick break from housework and cooking before I start packing my suitcase once again. […]

I Can’t Want To!


When my brother Kris was little and our mom would ask him why he wasn’t doing something that she had asked him to do, his response was, “I can’t want to!”  It became a joke in our family because even though it may sound like improper grammar, it actually makes sense. When you’re apathetic about […]

Two Years!


Today is EEC Chick’s Two-Year Anniversary! What a long, strange trip it’s been.  Ok, not really. I have yet to exceed 100 posts. That’s rather sad. I had envisioned this blog becoming the next Dooce, except with less poop references. It’s probably a good thing I haven’t gone viral though – I don’t know if […]

10 Minutes in the Park


Dear blog readers,  I crave writing so much that I had to sneak away from work for a few moments so I could be alone and quiet and indulge in this behavior.  I don’t like living this way. When I was younger I pictured myself living a calm and quiet life as a writer/artist/gardner. I […]
