Rosie, Long Form: March 2005
http://rosielf.blogspot.com/2005_03_01_archive.html
Rosie, Long Form. Thursday, March 31, 2005. Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Mold and promised a fierce crackdown. Their threats were seen as credible and fearsome enough that the response went through the grapevine (a remarkably efficient communication apparatus in a class of more than 400): the secretly scheduled late-spring Senior Skip Day was now decreed to be Senior Drunk Day instead. We would show up and be counted as present, but in a show of solidarity and rebellion we would be plastered. Corcell reache...

Iowadrift: I Have Got To Get A Grip Here
http://iowadrift.typepad.com/iowadrift/2007/06/i-have-got-to-g.html
You can't hide from your egg, Max .Rosemary Wells. Laquo; Nothing Like Starting A New Decade By Reneging On Promises. All Better ». I Have Got To Get A Grip Here. Oh geez, the guilt. Here I make all kinds of big promises to myself and others, and totally renege. Is that how you spell renege? Do you think he'll reveal my strange addiction to chewy sugar (SweetTarts, Hot Tamales, Sprees)? And what do you think they'll make of it all? That her best will not be good enough for her children? Hi, Added a new v...

Rosie, Long Form: Passing
http://rosielf.blogspot.com/2005/04/passing.html
Rosie, Long Form. Friday, April 01, 2005. I truly didn’t set out to be a non-driver. It happened insidiously, small step by small step. I never felt that weird. It always felt reasonable given my circumstances at any given moment not to learn to drive, and I kept assuming that the time was just around the corner when suddenly it would happen. After all, who doesn’t drive? Eco-freaks and hard-core neurotics? Places, nor would I ever have expected him to. A whole birthday, reducible to 1 or 0. Whew I was h...

You can't hide from your egg, Max .Rosemary Wells. Typing With a Fat Two Year Old On My Lap. Thank you for all your comments! It was such fun to log on today and find all these good wishes for both the birthday and the Rugrat (the latter being, I'm afraid, the way TTD and I refer to the daughter we hope finds us). Cyberspace has given me a lovely community- that would be YOU, reading this, so go buy yourself something nice and frivolous- and I am so grateful. I want to bite! If you are, or do, or have, I...

You can't hide from your egg, Max .Rosemary Wells. I am too incoherent, just in a general way, to do anything but make bullet points. Thus:. This house rocks. We can see stars at night, after years of pink town night skies. I know what quarter the moon is in all the time. A rose-breasted grossbeak hopped across our lawn yesterday (are we impressed with my birding yet? Thought I. Vindicated! I am very petty. The Nice Neurologist found I had a positive Babinski on the left, which means when he scratched th...

Iowadrift: Come Up And See Our Etchings
http://iowadrift.typepad.com/iowadrift/2007/06/come_up_and_see.html
You can't hide from your egg, Max .Rosemary Wells. Laquo; Forty If She's A Day. A Day of Beginnings ». Come Up And See Our Etchings. Our cats like it here. They can settle into open, sunny windows like pencils into grooves and watch the cardinals on the bird feeders; they can lounge belly-up on the back porch and listen to voles rustling underground; they can make friends and invite them home for snacks. And it's this last which is worrying me. I need you down here. I froze. What if it sprayed? And snack...

You can't hide from your egg, Max .Rosemary Wells. Enormous Changes At The Last Minute. I'm not sure where the title came from, but I know it's from SOMEWHERE: a book chapter? Bonus points if you know; consider yourself smart. TTD seems to be OK with it too, I think because I was always the driving force behind this anyway, and because he harbored the same fears The Agency did. So we're all on the same page. Gallaudet (Bihari), David (TTD), Sparhawk (Rabbit) and Rowan (Urplet). July 02, 2007. In other ne...
