Take Your Best Shot

Posted on August 6, 2012 by BrassyDel

I drove up to my mother’s house late on a Friday afternoon, both kids in tow, and left them there. After I made them dinner and told my mother how to take care of them, because it’s not like she’s been taking care of children for over 30 years. Also, traffic was terrible. That’s not really related, but it was…

Git ‘er done!

Posted on June 18, 2012 by BrassyDel

There were times, many years ago, when I was referred to as prolific. It may seem like a non-compliment, a nuetral observation or a politeness alluding to the superiority of quality over quantity, but it’s something I desperately miss about myself. Having an autoimmune disease means that I don’t necessarily look sick, but that doesn’t mean I’m not. Sometimes it…

March Madness

Posted on June 11, 2012 by BrassyDel

It is with surprising regularity that I find myself sick in March, one way or another, and not insignificantly so. One year in college, I didn’t get a flu shot and when I finally came down with it, I was sick for almost the entire month. For the worst week of it, I slept 18-22 hours a day. It didn’t…

I Found Springtime Indoors and It Was TERRIBLE

Posted on May 10, 2012 by BrassyDel

I always forget about the creepy crawly critter influx that happens when Spring begins, up until it starts happening. Creepy crawlies go from the ocassional indoor discovery to ALL THE DAMNED TIME. Spiders are fine. Outside. I am a highly evolved and well-educated mammal and I’m sorry, but I’m still afraid of spiders. And bugs. Especially ones with extra legs…

Broke

Posted on March 12, 2012 by BrassyDel

I have a broken fence, broken roof, broken child, broken windows, broken car. And I’m broke. Image (c)Eridesign, used under Creative Commons license. But the fence can be mended, the windows replaced, the roof patched. The leaking from the rain will stop, the glass from the windows will be cleaned up. The car still runs, though it isn’t winning any…

Handymom

Posted on December 7, 2011 by BrassyDel

My father is not handy. He has many skills, but you simply will not find him with a power tool or a paint brush. My mother is a different story entirely, and the garage workbench was always hers. Why, then, do I lament that my own husband is only a very reluctant handyman? I married a geek, and such a…

My Process.

Posted on November 21, 2011 by BrassyDel

I thought I’d give you guys a little backstage peek at the Brassy Blog. Obviously, posts need to start with an idea. I go through phases of having lots of ideas, or not even thinking about potential ideas. A lot of culling actually starts at the idea phase. I follow about two dozen blogs and another dozen webcomics, so I…

Words.

Posted on November 9, 2011 by BrassyDel

I haven’t had much to say lately. Scratch that; I’ve had a lot to say recently, and that’s almost as bad. First, I’ve been reading a lot of clinical and laboratory research, either scientific literature or educated discourse about it, and it leaves my head full. To process it, I ramble. Add to that, I’ve been making a lot of progress…

New Toys

Posted on October 12, 2011 by BrassyDel

Quick on the heels of telling you all about how I was going to try harder to focus entirely on whatever moment I’m in, we went out and bought a multi-tasking tool. That’s business-speak for “we bought an iPad and now I can surf Pinterest from the toilet couch“. I’ve been saving up my pennies for a tablet and so…

Quit

Posted on October 5, 2011 by BrassyDel

Sometimes I want to quit. No, scratch that. Sometimes I think I should quit. Quit blogging. Quit drawing. Quit writing. Because if I did, then I would have more time to focus on my family, on my kids while they are this little. Time to focus on those priorities without being distracting by making time to stick to an update…
