My mom loves earrings, at least she used to. She had dangly ones, hoops and studs in all shapes and sizes. Themed earrings for holidays, fancy earrings for going out all dressed up (even though she never gets dressed up OR goes out).

We visit our Tahoe cabin twice a month during the warm months but I hate to go there when it snows. It is almost painful to me to be cold. But the cabin is perfect for summer, right on the lake with towering pines and astonishing views.

I popped up the collar on my London Fog overcoat. The rain was turning from a drizzle to a pour and I regret the choice to leave my umbrella behind. No time to go back, the asshat in front of was moving fast and didn’t care that he was getting drenched.

We had plans, big plans. But life happens without caring about your plans and here we are. Old and gray with no ability to plan for the future. Now life leads me when I should be leading my life.

Cheri wrote about the word hinge 4 weeks, 1 day ago
The entire relationship hinges on our love for Stephen King and smoking pot. What else do we have in common? Not a lot but maybe that’s more than most friends have and how can you dissect love? There is no way to explain that feeling when you sincerely care about another human.

Fences, miles and miles of straight white fences and green, green grass. The horses grazed peacefully, the sky was a soft, welcoming blue and the entire view was breathtakingly beautiful.

I’m no runway model, sir, whitening and straightening my teeth is an expense I can’t afford and certainly don’t need. Can you please just fix the cavity and stop trying to suck the life out of me through my wallet?

I’m not at liberty to say, she replied. That information is private and I’m known to have a reputation for discretion. I couldn’t sell my products to the rich and famous if I blabbed about it to the world.

My favorite time of day, quitting time! The freedom of walking out that door and getting my car, dreaming of that cold, crisp taste of my first beer when I get home. Tastes like liberty.

Cheri wrote about the word bellow 1 month ago
The man began to bellow at the top of his lungs. I couldn’t hear what he was saying through the thick glass of my office window but it was clear he was one unhappy guy. His face was red and I could see spittle flying from his wide, red, angry mouth.

Cheri wrote about the word accordion 1 month, 1 week ago
I looked out the window to see who was sitting on the bench. This is my version of reality TV. I was not disappointed (or surprised) to see a boy with an accordion sitting there, munching Fritos with one hand and running his fingers lightly over his unusual instrument.

The two friends shared a bench one last time. They had been meeting at this bench for lunch for years, since 1988 to be exact, and it was astonishing to imagine they would never meet there again after today.

It was a crisp winter morning when she ran away. The sky had that white cast to it and there were no cars on the road. The silence was eerie and her adventure was just beginning.

Concealing is the same as lying and some do it better than others. Don’t attempt to conceal your true feelings from someone who is very close to you, it just makes both of you confused and unhappy.

I am holding a glass of sparkling champagne and raising a toast to my own success. It is sweet and fizzy, I am smiling and the tears in my eyes are sparkling in the snap of camera the flashes.

Cheri wrote about the word bland 1 month, 1 week ago
My life may seem exciting to some, but the day to day is just as bland as your life. I guess you have to be living this life to understand it ain’t all it’s cracked up to be. Not that I’m complaining, just saying.

Commuters are savage on the I-80 corridor. Passing at breakneck speed, weaving, tailgating…it’s the modern version of the jungle.

Lillies will always remind me of church. I don’t go to church, haven’t since the pastor told me I couldn’t wear pants to church. I don’t like dresses and so I didn’t go back to church. I think that pastor had his head up his ass. God doesn’t see what you’re wearing, right?

Cheri wrote about the word oil 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Oil on his hair, greasy, sleazy oily hair with drag marks where he ran his nicotine stained fingers through it. An old knit cap perched on top of his raggedy gray hair and all I can do is gag, thinking of drops of oil sliding off those nasty fingers.

Cheri wrote about the word dozen 1 month, 2 weeks ago
About a dozen times I day I check my email, then Facebook, the WOOT, then Yahoo…my life, quite simply, revolves around the Internet. It is almost painful to be off the grid. But this is how I make my living and the only social interaction I get.
