midwest diva: April 2008
http://midwestdiva.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 30, 2008. Veni, vidi, vici. I fucking HATE driving on the toll road, but I love it when we hit Lake Shore. All those tall, phallic buildings! The bronze lions in front of the Art Institute! Michigan Avenue, the Chicago River, and Hugo's Frog Bar! Most fun of all, the burly Chicago men! At Loehmann's. Excellent foraging! So for roughly 36 hours, I forgot about my husband, kids, bills, diet, laundry, chores, homework, aging, job worries, and general suck-assedness and bonded with my girlfr...

midwest diva: October 2008
http://midwestdiva.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 7, 2008. Poem for these times. The world is too much with us; late and soon,. Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers;. Little we see in Nature that is ours;. We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon! This Sea that bares her bosom to the moon,. The winds that will be howling at all hours,. And are up-gathered now like sleeping flowers,. For this, for everything, we are out of tune;. It moves us not.- Great God! A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn;. Rising from the sea;.

Monday, August 18, 2008. She lies, I did not make her do it. It, strongly, because after all she is a super fancy pro-fessional writer type, and she makes me laugh. And she can punctuate, which thrills me because I am a nerd who would happily spend hours wandering through Wikipedia and the OED looking for perfect Scrabble words. Here she is! The tao of teri!

midwest diva: December 2008
http://midwestdiva.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 18, 2008. I love to give things to people. I like buying gifts, because if you pay attention people always tell you what they'd really like. My best Christmas memory as a child was the year I was nine years old and helped my dad pick out a gift for my mother. My mom and I had been shopping earlier in the fall when she saw a coat at Sears that she absolutely fell in love with. It was beige suede with a beige mink collar, and it was beautiful. It was also expensive. My heart's not in it,...

midwest diva: Feh the halls
http://midwestdiva.blogspot.com/2008/12/feh-halls.html
Monday, December 8, 2008. OK, put the tree up. Got the wreathes. Decorated stuff. Feh. My heart's not in it, and I don't know why. If I didn't have kids I'd skip the whole thing. I suppose because the mood of the country is so bad, it's affecting everyone. Millions of jobs lost, children sliding into poverty and hunger, and a man loses his life because of a stampeding mob at Walmart. How can I focus on shopping for gifts when the world is such a mess?

midwest diva: Happy new year, y'all
http://midwestdiva.blogspot.com/2009/01/happy-new-year-yall.html
Tuesday, January 6, 2009. Happy new year, y'all. How are you, my readers? Both of you.) How was your Christmas? Although I don't make resolutions for the new year, I do look at my list of Things I Must Do in My Life to refresh and rethink. Ten years ago I took a very hard look at my list because I was on the verge of turning 40, and the list became longer and more important since my life was NOT working out as I wanted. This year I couldn't even. You do cleaning day like that too? Oh, you classy clean.

midwest diva: September 2008
http://midwestdiva.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 26, 2008. Hey God, it's me, Bible Spice. Can't take credit for this, but I saw it on my fave BB - regarding the cute slogan owned by Bible Spice and Grumpy McSame - and I did verily bust a gut laughing. Now, let’s talk about slogans. Ours is: Country First. Think about it. When you think of what should come first, what does? No That would be selfish. Our personal families? How about: the common good of all mankind! Don’t make me laugh with your weak blinking! Thursday, September 25, 2008.

midwest diva: 12 years ago today
http://midwestdiva.blogspot.com/2009/02/12-years-ago-today.html
Thursday, February 5, 2009. 12 years ago today. 12 years ago today I was at Wishard. Hospital waiting to have an abortion. They are the only hospital around here that will do them, and you have to bring cash. No checks. Guess they have a lot of people whose checks bounce. I had gotten up early, taken a shower, put makeup on, did my hair. My husband (1.0, AKA Mr. Fuckball. Drove me downtown and stopped at the ATM to get the cash. We had already taken our daughter to day care. That day as we sat in the wai...
