Sneaking in a post...
So I haven't posted in months and have received many emails wondering if I'm dead. I didn't respond and was tempted to let it play out disappear to Costa Rica never to be heard from again but alas, here I am, alive and well in Los Angeles.
Here's the summary of what you've missed. In June I was feeling spunky and changed my life-long left hair part to the other side. Things got a little funky after that and I even switched from my Republican allegiance to Democrat. But I was unable to control the whirlwind of change and the day before the November 4th election, my part and my party allegiance reverted to old ways.
In August I read all the Twilight books, while silently hating myself. Apparently I'm a Jacob girl.
In August, I read all the somber, intelligent books I could handle (Kite Runner, anyone) to atone for my flippant reading of August. It was overcompensation and many nights I went to be sobbing at the terrifyingly awful things I was reading about. But it did get the taste of teenage romance novels out of my mouth.
In October, I called in sick and played computer games for about 2 weeks straight. I developed a nasty case of carpal tunnel. I kicked the quickly developing habit but my wrist still aches day and night. Halloween (my favorite day of the year) was a blast with Pixie being a princess (yawn) and Cher being a pint-sized flapper.
In November I started sewing again after a three month long break. I'm happier that way. And my ad people were starting to email me reminding me that they would pull my ads if I didn't post so here, for sheerly mercenary reasons, I give you a post. I have my pride and seeing a blog writhe in malnutrition does make me feel a bit guilty.
So yes, after a long mental health break, I'm back. All three of you who are still reading my blog can get together and share a bowl of ice cream in celebration. I'm going to comit to blogging at least five days a week for the next month to help myself get back into the habit so feel free to start checking daily again. I'll be here.

Welcome back Hollywood!
Yes, the trannie post is definitely worth coming back for but even that can't last more than a few months!
Nancy, Pixie insisted I just buy her an off-the-rack Sleeping Beauty costume from Target and that just goes against all my Halloween sensitivities so yes, it will take me a few more months to forgive her.
Honestly, all while reading the Twilight books I was just hating both Bella and Edward. She was a wussy whiner and he was just a cold vamp with no attitude. Thank goodness for Jacob - he saved the series for me. Still haven't seen the movie, but I've got to say, the guy they picked for Edward is HOT so maybe I'll change my mind after that.
I missed you; thanks for posting good stuff again! :)

Welcome back, mental health and all. Glad you're sewing again!
Welcome back. :)
Have you ever read The Book Thief? By Marcus Zusak? It's awesome. It will most definately make you cry, but it'll make you feel smarter too.
We are halloween opposites. If I can get away with buying a costume straight off the rack at Target, I'm all for it! I think I can still read your blog, but it may be tough.
Just kidding. I'm glad you're back.
love from northern cal,
