Lost and Found

Evidently I shouldn’t wake up at 5:30 a.m. fuming about something and then go shoot my mouth off on my blog. Because it comes across as rude and mean-spirited. Maybe. That’s how I’m reading it today, anyway. So let’s just forget that ever happened.

A Mothers Day Rant (because that’s how I roll)

I was so busy yesterday that I didn’t visit Facebook until late at night, after sorting nearly a month’s worth of mail and paying bills and balancing the checkbook and updating the budget and helping Zoe finish her poetry project and tidying up the house and getting cleaned up and going to Latin Vespers and dinner to honor a teacher who retired after 51 years of teaching Latin and Greek at which I photographed the honoree and his family.

It’s Bunion Week!

So here I am, four days past surgery (is that right? let’s see…surgery was Monday morning…Tuesday, Wednesday, now we’re on Thursday…does the surgery day count as a day? it should because it was at 6 o’clock in the freakin’ morning) and it’s time for an update. It’s Bunion Week here at Latent Images, so buckle up! (Warning: there’s cursing involved, which shouldn’t surprise any of you who know me.)

Bits and pieces that don’t add up to squat

I haven’t been writing much anywhere lately. Too busy having fun and getting ready for surgery. I’ve been reading a lot, though, which is also good for the brain, and jotting notes down for the story I’m working on and the one I want to write next.

A crisis of faith, or maybe just a crisis of idiocy

Every once in awhile shitty things happen (well, shitty things are done by shitty people, they don’t just happen…okay sometimes they just happen but yesterday was not an “accident with no culpability” day but a “people can be boneheads” kind of day) and it affects my faith life. I have to remind myself to not get God all wrapped up in what fallible, imperfect people here on earth do or say. When The Church infuriates me, I have to remind myself that The Church isn’t God. As much as it likes to pretend it is.

Writer and Author

I’m reading a lot about writing right now. About the right place and the right mood and the right subject. I’m reading so much about writing that I’m not writing a damn thing.
