If a business cuts cheques all on the same day and all people are equal in a fiscal, monetary sense then why would you stagger payments over a month? Wouldn’t it be easier to send Flossie-Lou to the post office with a bunch of envelopes than have her hoofing it...

Tomorrow is the day I post at the Riskies, but thanks to the wonder of time-stamping, that post is already done! So hie on over there on Friday, anytime after 9am EST–it’s http://riskyregencies.blogspot.com/, if you forgot–and see what I wrote. If you want. In other news, let’s see: The overwhelming malaise...
We have another middle school thingy to do this weekend, and last weekend was chock-a-block full of socializing, so I am wiped out. Plus I’ve had a headache all day, and that stinks. I did watch the Oscars, that was fun, moreso because I’d seen five out of the ten nominated...
At the Riskies. And, in case any of you doubted my guy’s ability to be both hyperbolic and kind of a good writer–this is from a piece he wrote recently (and he even spelled ‘maelstrom’ right!): “I was in the Gettysburg Museum, and was silently crying my heart out in a...
If one were to go through a few months’ worth of my posts, one might conclude that I am obsessed with hawt British guys. Ahem. Anyway, last night I started watching Season 7 of MI-5, now featuring Richard Armitage. Shirtless. With Russian tattoos. Dear lord. This season is already fun because Harry is so...
1. I am no longer sick. The Spouse seems to have caught it, though. 2. I am trying to write when I have a spare hour, like this one, so I’ll still not be so chatty here. Plus my life is as dull as it’s always been, so no news...
I am so late, and terribly scattered over at the Riskies today. Be forewarned....

Jax's Artistic Journey...
Besides my obvious movie, Korean drama, and shopping addictions...I would have to say the one thing I can't live without is seafood....sushi being the top of my list! I have kicked the soda habit and the red and white meats from my diet...however, being vegetarian most of the time has...
Whenever I've been away from writing for too long, I feel insecure and uncertain of my abilities. In my head I am the most prolific and creative writer, but in reality, I'm just a kid who hasn't biked in years. Will I fall off or will I take flight and...
My love for Korean drama romances
Well, my mother purchases all kinds of foreign shows and movies that are dubbed in Vietnamese. I normally would roll my eyes because I never had time to invest in watching these things. But when you've got time on your hands, you become easily swayed. One day I thought I'd...
This crazy weather is kicking my butt. Seriously. Just when I think I'm recovering, I start feeling horrible again. I haven't wanted to do any work except rest but even resting makes me restless. I can't seem to get back into that work frame of mind, and productivity is non-existent...
Still feeling craptastic but I still have an optimistic outlook on everything thanks to this quote from Thoreau. It always makes me warm and tingly all over and I totally agree with him!Besides having bad sinuses, feeling not so good, and fighting other long-term ailments...I'm particularly pleased that the new...
Nothing soothes a sore throat better than a spot o' tea with lemon...and lots of honey. I've been feeling my immune system starting to crap out. Although I've taken preventive measures, I think the yo-yo hot and cold weather has really screwed up my sinuses and everything else. It doesn't...

Crystal Jordan :: Blog
You Are an Eyebrow Piercing You are unique, quirky, and more than a little eccentric. You cultivate the weirder sides of your personality, and you don’t mind sharing them. Ever since you were a kid, you’ve had strong opinions. You’ve never been like everyone else, and you’re okay with that. And you’ve always been...

You Are a Mustache You are eccentric and even a bit of a weirdo. You are a bit out of step with the mainstream, and you honestly don’t care. You have cultivated some unusual interests and practices. And you definitely have a sense of personal style that’s highly unique. You have a bizarre...
In the last six months or so, I have successfully matched M and M’s parents with dogs. And they’re totally cute, too! I may not be able to pick a good animal for myself, but I’m apparently an awesome matchmaker for others. I guess those who can, do, and those...
