- I am a victim of credit card fraud!
- Thursday, May 22, I received an automated call from American Express about some unusual activity on my account. I don’t use this card very often — mostly to pay my monthly alarm system and critter killing fees. I was only mildly concerned. The last time I received a call like this (from Discover), the charges [...] [25 May 2008]
- I made a necklace
- I started this thing months ago after buying the bead on a lark while strolling through downtown Decatur. I finally finished it tonight. Coral and silver center bead.

- On homeownership.
- I bought a house at the end of last month. I finally moved in this weekend. In doing so, I (mostly) severed my two-and-a-half year relationship. It feels weird. I haven’t lived by myself in quite some time. I’m alternating between sadness and anger about my relationship’s end. But it’s tempered by the fact that [...] [14 Aug 2007]
- The last official word…
- on my relationship: We’re going to try to work it out. Under the same roof and everything. or not. [11 Mar 2007]
- Fear and loss
- I’m scared to move because I think I’ll lose him. But I’ve already lost him. Staying won’t do any good. But I think leaving will do even less. He says maybe the space will do us both some good. That maybe we can work it out. He still loves me — and as importantly, still [...] [1 Mar 2007]
