Dawn Is Me

I would be the sunlight in your universe

So, this month over at Women on the Verge, our topic is Women Changing The World — and we do, don’t we? Further elucidation comes from Our Glorious Leader, Ana Lewis: I am in awe of some of the things that people in our wotv community do on a daily basis. Women are changing the world – [...]

Forget regret or life is yours to miss

I’m late. I missed the traditional 2011 New Year’s Eve retrospective post. And that is just as well because I don’t really have anything to say about 2011 except to be glad that it’s over. I’m sure the entire year couldn’t have been entirely awful but the last six months of it was so terrible that [...]

So close you can almost taste it

I’m still in school and its still running my life. I’m got used to thinking in terms of my kids and school, so college semesters (where you cover in three and a half months what they take nine and a half months to cover) always seem to take me by surprise at the speed with which [...]

I haven’t been in here in a long time. It’s not that I didn’t have anything to say. It’s just that I’m having trouble making up my mind how much of what I have to say can be said in public. A lot of things have changed. As of this writing, Baker is in jail. It came [...]

Another installation of Konversations with Kimmie, augmented by Revealing Responses by Ricky: Kimmie (staring across the room): Ricky’s got a lot of definition in his shoulders. (pause) Hey, Ricky, I can see your nipple. Mom: What does that have to do with the definition in his shoulder? Ricky: Oh, yeah? Hey, Kimmie! (whips aside his muscle shirt to [...]

A little bit of this, a little bit of that

I’m probably not in the best place to be writing about healing between the genders. That was my first thought when I started out to ponder this month’s Women on the Verge theme. I’m just about six months out from finalizing my divorce. At this point, I’m sad and lonely and scared. I’m not sure that [...]

Leave me alone

I’ve finally figured it out. I figured out why my marriage failed. I’ve known all along that, while it would be really easy to think that Baker is just too neurotic to be married to, it wasn’t all him. Well, it was but … well, let me explain. I’m watching him with his fiancee — well, I’m not [...]
