I don't have a photo of the actual board--this is a photo of our To-Do list.
A few months ago, I had a faux chalkboard up in my tiny kitchen in Long Beach. (Actually we had two of them; one on the front door for reminders and the second one, the one I’m referring to, for general hopes and dreams.) On it: new digs, more $$$, and CREATIVITY in big letters, on top of the list. We just meant we wanted better ways to express ourselves artistically. And we’re incredibly happy that we got a lot of those items so soon after putting up that old list (it was January 2012 when we wrote everything down), so I feel a little silly for missing our tiny 2-bedroom (a mile from the beach!), my old job (I worked from home three times a week!) and just how familiar everything in Long Beach had become. So maybe I just have to work on the creativity part. I’m sure that will solve everything.

I couldn’t remember how I ever enjoyed alcohol. And then I did.

So I can still get irrationally mad with impunity.

The internet is a boon, sure, but it also atrophies your brain sometimes. So here are a few tricks I’ve learned to battle the waiting game:
1. Do a countdown.
2. Procrasturbate.
3. Read horoscopes. I like Susan Miller and Rick Levine (Faythe‘s dad). Barring that, heed wise words from “KungFu Panda”: “The future is a mystery and yesterday is past. But today is a gift; that’s why it’s called the Present.”
4. Googlechat is your friend. Googlevideo is your BEST friend.
Happy Mother’s Day to The Bestest Mommy Ever!
Posted: May 9, 2009 Filed under: testy cells | Tags: mom, peggy bose, philippines 3 Comments »Here is a limerick I wrote, published in the Philippine Star today (thanks Chonx!):
There was a silly mommy named Peggy
Of jobs she had so very many
Law medicine and food
Were all her forte (and she was good!)
But she was best at making everyone feel  jolly
