Heidi's Hideaway (now with added class!)
Posted in Miscellanea on Jul 14th, 2010
For the most part, all appearances on this blog to the contrary, I’m a fairly contented person. I have a husband with whom I have a relationship that deepens every year, a son that makes my world a brighter place every single day, parents who love us so much that they are willing to [...]

I’m an introvert. I don’t intend that in an Introverts Anonymous way but just as a (slightly proud) statement of fact. I like being around people much of the time but then I need to hide in my Introvert Cave [tm] to recover.
These days I play the extrovert much better. [...]

Be forewarned. I am in a grim, awful mood today for no apparent reason. Entry may be triggering – frank discussion of when self-loathing rears its ugly head. Not positive.

People like to say that we fatties have no idea what size we are. Maybe, given the disconnect in people’s minds [...]

Some days are just grumpy days, for no apparent reason. I hate this kind of day. I woke up and was mostly fine. Got in to work and *whoosh* – day plummeted down into crappitude in no time flat. My breakfast burrito, from a batch I’d scrambled eggs for and then [...]

I’m not a copyright law expert. That’s my quick disclaimer. I’ve studied some copyright information as part of my MSLIS coursework, most recently in this semester’s class on digitization. As my professor put it, studying anything at all about copyright makes you more of an expert than most people, which I didn’t [...]

I am a messy person. While my desk is reasonably organized and my books are obsessively tidy, the rest of my world can get untidy to the extreme. One might not think so from photos like this, taken when we lived in our little flat in Manchester:
The thing that one must realize, however, [...]

My brain is percolating several entries, after my brain, which has been hiding under a rock for a couple of weeks and only emerging to do classwork, has finally realized that it can be AWAKE!! again and actually deal with real life.
I’ve frequently heard people tell me that they never remember their dreams. [...]
Posted in Burkina Faso, Miscellanea, Size acceptance on Jul 10th, 2009
I clearly picked the wrong country to live in. I should move right back to Burkina Faso!
Amusingly enough, they’re not wrong about the way that many African men find large women attractive. I’ve lived in several different places where there were large numbers of African immigrants. The only time I get hit [...]

Okay, in my last too-long; did-not-read post, I wandered off track. This is what I meant to say…and this time, I’m not cutting it.
The issue of God is a complicated one for me, and there’s a lot of history I might go into at some point, but the conclusion that I’ve most firmly drawn in [...]

Graham picked a name off one of those gift trees yesterday – you know the kind, put up by charitable organizations with the names of children, their ages, and the gifts that they most want for Christmas. Graham chose a little boy named L, who is two, and who wants some wooden cut-and-play food, and [...]
