back but for how long?

easy at first then
blogging fell out of fashion.
I have missed haikus.

Odin!

teeny toes, round head,
perpetual drool, eyes roam
I am now "momma"

never thought my very first bee sting would happen like this...

bee body flying
a cheesy poof explosion
first time i've been stung

Fight.

each time is like the first time--alzheimers is tough.

gramps has passed away
grandma can't remember this
what do we tell her?

ninety-two years is a long time.

two weeks left to live
no more meds, just painkillers
i feel like crying

i really hate driving

man's idiocy
is overly apparent
when behind the wheel

finally bought the wedding dress of my dreams last weekend

anxious for beauty
i'll walk the aisle in a
vera-wang-made dress

project runway season finale!!!

oooh! fancy party!
betting, champagne and snackies!
that christian must reign!

i heart scrabulous. sometimes.

i've got a bingo
but there's nowhere to put it
frustration ensues

been bummed

my heavy heart drags
as i watch grandparents ail
collapse towards death

dumb man, thinks he knows it all.

sometimes hubby mad
then what can one do but scream
you suck, stupid! fuck!!!

to oaxaca!!!

finally, i go
south of the border in search
of yummy mole.

also, they have cheese
i will lie down half naked
on the beach and toot.

where's my ring?

everything's been fine
nothing really to report
oh, i am engaged

robbed! in my own 'hood.

fucking fatso thief
how dare you brandish a knife
damn! there goes my purse

a businesswoman i am

studio space now
retail later, pattern co.
starting--i'll be known!

swift pigeon patterns
we'll show the crafters cute clothes
they'll buy--money is ours

plums, nectarines, blueberries,
and NO bananas!

Does This Scream Alcoholic?

love to drink at home
wrong? yeah, i should go out but...
i can pass out here.

i am premenstral and i can't stop thinking en haiku

no, i am not trim
i've a tum, belly, beer gut
call it what you will

I Eat This Graham Cracker With Much Humility

what have i become?
a homeless man says to me:
"is that your breakfast?"

End it With Exclamation Points, Dude

it's fashion people
supposed to be good lookin'
no hooker-style, please!

now my ego's inflated
happy days are here!

i'm addicted, now
all-i-wanna-do-is-eat
and fashion shows, too!

Ode to Cat Power

back up band is good
but acoustic? much better
you rocked my world

humor--surprising
dance moves--so adorable
voice--so amazing

A Burrito Shared Doesn't Usually Make Your Belly Hurt, But Maybe This One Was Tainted? Or Maybe it Was The Agua Fresca...

chile relleno
in my burrito half--good!
but now i feel sick

Who Am I Kidding, I've Wished This Forever...

lately I desire
to drink myself to slumber
there i get reprieve

He's Here But I Miss Him

ever since he works
no longer night-companion
just a lump in bed

Dinner at Dona Tomas The Other Night

First Course

ceviche, tequila drinks,

next to cheeks of halibut
silky corn pudding

My Entree

cebollitas, carnitas:
deep fried pork...i drool

Dessert?
best server? sahar
but i'm too full for dessert
damn, gotta go back.

Today I'll Catch Up on Haikus

when i lag, he's there
cracking the whip, persuading
me to write another

I Volunteer at the SPCA and I Have Designs to Fashion

furry dogs barking
my sewing machine beckons
no kickball today

i was sleeping fine
but suddenly i did scream
a nightmare perhaps?

Last Night's Show at Mama Buzz

if this indicates
how hot this summer will be--
fucking sweltering

Some Reasons Why I Dislike Going "Home"

cats at my parents'
all fluffy hairs and dander
makes me sneeze and wheeze

let's go out to eat
no good restaurants--only chains
with cluttered menus

salty food abounds
my overstuffed sushi drowns
in colorful sauce

white suburbanites
aplenty with s.u.v.'s
i hate being here.

Too Bad I Have To Use a Sewing Machine To Do My Work

so fucking gorgeous
sit outside, drinking beers is
all i wanna do

Plea Unanswered

rain please stop because
craft night, apartment viewing,
a walk, must commence


I Hate Going To Berkeley Bowl

forgot faux i-pod,
too many jerks, long-ass lines,
baby pukes in cart

are numerous lately i
