Thoughts on Hand Transplants

I’m currently sitting at the Mazda dealership while my car gets it’s 5,000 mile service. It’s crazy that I’ve already driven that many miles, but it adds up quickly when you’re zoom-zooming around New England. The dealer just walked in after parking that red Miata and said “You could be driving that! You’d fit […]

Home Again

It always feels good to come home. Mom and I bade farewell to Colorado yesterday. We left the resort at 6:30 in the morning and drove to the Denver airport. The sun was in my eyes the whole way and I was irritable but I managed to get us there in one piece. We were […]

Vacation Required

A week from today the NFED family conference will be kicking off. My mom and I are heading out to Colorado this Saturday for a little vacation before conference starts. Boy do I need it. Yesterday I found out that one of the three other people in my department is quitting. I almost cried when […]

Magnificent Mammaries

Today I’m going to talk about breasts. Boobies, melons, sweater-stretchers. Snuggle-pups or sweater kittens. Whatever you call them, there’s no denying that people spend a lot of time thinking about these glorious glands. In my growing-up years, my friends and I gleefully anticipated growing ample bosoms in our teen years. We practiced by stuffing all manner […]

Lobster Girl

2023 Update: This post has been getting a lot of action lately. I haven’t figured out why; is it being referenced somewhere? Are lobster girls trending? I don’t know. I wrote the post below on a whim one rainy Saturday afternoon because we’d been watching Carnivale, and it was on my mind. It’s not my […]

A Call for Healing Vibes

Last night I spoke with my sweet friend Norma, who is featured in the documentary posted here. It was so nice to hear her voice again. I don’t really talk with people on the phone much anymore, since most everyone is available by Facebook, email or text. I’m thinking I’m going to have to change […]

Busy Bee or Drama Llama?

It seems I have been slacking with posts again. I am often thinking about this blog and what story to tell next, or what issue to discuss. Sometimes I think it would be cool to have a way to transmit thoughts directly from my mind into the computer, but then again, that could be pretty […]

Illustrated Personal Rant Session

Once again, I’ve let slip my morning writing habit. Of course, this time it has been in favor of spending the time drawing instead of writing. So creatively, I feel like I’ve been accomplishing something. Unfortunately it doesn’t really translate to the blog. Or does it? Despite all my fun drawing in the mornings, I’ve […]

Happy 2015 from EEC Chick!

Happy New Year! I’ve been away from WordPress for a couple of weeks now due to all the holiday fun that was going on, but now it’s a quiet, work-free afternoon and so I cannot delay posting any longer. My holidays were quite lovely and I hope yours were too. I always enjoy spending time […]

Confessions of a “Nice” Girl

This past week a couple of things happened at work which got me thinking about something I need to change. I’m a bit of a people-pleaser. Ever since I can remember, I would do things to ensure that people would like me. I mean beyond the normal, “let me do something nice for this person because […]
