Heidi's Hideaway (now with added class!)

A mass of disorganized, incoherent thoughts in the guise of an update:
- Missing the in-laws, who flew home early this morning after five days with us. Wishing they could have stayed longer, as it breaks my heart that Ciaran barely remembers them.
- Work welcomed me back with a microwave that promptly started sparking, smoking, [...]

I woke up this morning at 5:53 with just one thought in my head, which sounded really good at 5:53 in the morning. Here it is. You tell me if it’s still brilliant in the light of day (in October in Seattle it is still dark at 5:53 a.m.):
Is there a real social [...]

**Entry is potentially triggering re: childhood molestation**
When I was fourteen, my parents were doing some church planting work in a fairly small city about 45 minutes away from where we lived in Southern California. Somehow, and I don’t know how, as part of this work they began to invite a homeless, unmedicated schizophrenic man [...]

My husband, the INTP, tells you what he thinks about the latest drama. Note, although I have sold out to the patriarchy by being married to a white male, his thoughts are not necessarily my own but I find them interesting.
And, JoGeek gives the definition of the philosophy that sums up my own thoughts [...]

My husband reads this blog. I also blog over at Livejournal, incidentally, and at least THERE I have a “no family” posting option, but not here, alas.
His response to my post flinging myself into the fray of the Frantic Fatosphere Fuss of October 20-21 Nought 9? Reassurance that I’m right? An in-depth [...]

First and foremost, I want to thank all of you who took the time to comment on my post yesterday. As I’ve seen mentioned elsewhere, the Fatosphere has been a little cold for me recently and I really needed your warm fuzzies. Hugs to all of you!
So I get wrapped in my warm [...]

The Fatosphere is full of people who don’t have eating disorders. We hear from them a lot. They are fat, for various reasons, but are constantly annoyed with the media for perpetuating the myth that all fat people are emotional eaters. There is a pretty decent representative sample of fats blogging about [...]

A small success, on this the first day of No Fat Talk Week – back when Tales from the Fat-o-Sphere came out, I requested that KCLS buy a copy. They bought ten. Four of those are checked out. Hurray!
I’m placing another hold on it…I had to let it expire last time because [...]

This morning I brought pumpkin bread in to work. One of the volunteers who attends my mom’s church brought it yesterday and there was a little leftover, so my mom gave it to me. I don’t know who made it…but something about it isn’t quite right. I’m sure someone else would find [...]

I suck at correspondence. I love care packages. I never get enough care packages (which is to say, I get one once a year or so).
I feel I should improve my correspondence skills AND indulge my love of packages with a care package pen pal, who sends me regular packages and to whom [...]
