Bye Bye, Pie!

There she is...

Yup. It snowed. Lula happy. Third of Lula from Tibet, you know. Mt. Everest in Tibet. Also, third of Lula Beagle. Beagle from England where it snow, too. Lula wish mom had not spent $150 on DNA test for Lu... Read more →

Clair de Talune

It is Friday night and we are having a big old giant snowstorm here with maybe even a foot of snow, so I am composing Saturday's post in case we get snowed to death and at least you can hear... Read more →

What a difference a day makes

As you may or may not know, and I hate it when I say that because effectively that phrase means absolutely nothing, I have had no work to do since January 5, when I dropped my last statistics book off... Read more →

My family, at 7:57 p.m. on January 27

Perhaps you were thinking, "I wonder what June and her household are doing?" sometime around 7:57 p.m. last night. Or, you know, not. Nevertheless, I decided to photograph everyone in their element to see if we could find anything interesting.... Read more →

Well I shot a man in Greensboro, just to watch him die...

I had a terrible migraine last night, as opposed to those really good ones. But really, it kept waking me up, it was so bad, which is rare for me. After waking up for the 49th time, in horrid agony,... Read more →

Manly yes, but I like it too.

I was perusing other blogs tonight, trying to find new ones to read. I found some nice ones, and I also came to the conclusion that every blogger on earth who has a child whose real name she does not... Read more →

Five people I will not meet in heaven because hi. You really think I'm gettin' in?

I was paging through my intellectually stimulating Allure magazine today, or maybe it was In Style, whichever--and why do I read those anymore? I used to be young and thin and have money. Now I have none of those things... Read more →

I need The Help for my addictive personality, is what I need

Started reading The Help, our book club book, yesterday at about 4 p.m., and I am almost done with it. Read last night till I got a headache, and then stampeded for it the second I woke up today. Oh!... Read more →

I think the dinosaurs laughed at that one. And by "that one" I mean DB's mug.

I ran two miles this morning with my running group and then I stupidly agreed to meet a friend at the health-food grocery store. There was a clever move. Did every date nut bar and tub of bulk granola look... Read more →

How we write this blog? We has no thumb.

Henry: Where Big Hair go? Winston: She go out to find adventure. She stay one more day in house not working, she jump off roof. It ranch house. She jump off roof, she only break ankle. That not adventure. Henry:... Read more →

Jane Austen, Laura Ingalls, and annoying twits from LA

I don't know how many of you read Chatting at the Sky, although I would guess all of you, because like her sister The Nester, she seems to get 94 million readers a day. Anyway, Chatting, and yes I actually... Read more →

What is Cardinal doing on this notebook?

Are all of you on Facebook? I don't see why not. It is a marvelous time waster and apparently it's like rejoining high school. I am the only person on earth who loved high school--all the drama, the pep rallies,... Read more →

Romper

I sat here for three solid hours last night, as opposed to liquid hours, adding categories to all of my posts. I still haven't finished; I think I have February through May of 2009 to get done. And here's what... Read more →

Three topics. All briefly touched on. Because you know June is nothing if not brief.

There are three pressing topics I wish to cover today, and if I were remotely disciplined I'd cover one today and then have blog topics for Tuesday and Wednesday. But have you met me? Disciplined. Oh, that's a hoot. Also,... Read more →

The one where June gets no rest

As you can imagine, I was up late enjoying the drag queen bingo on Friday night. Well. You know. Late for me. Meaning I got home at, like, 11:00, which wooo! What happened to 1988 June? Coming home late then... Read more →

B-I-N-G-Oh, wow, drag queens!

I have one word for you: DRAG. QUEEN. BINGO. And I am really sorry that I continue to think it's funny to say "I have one word for you" and then I have lots of words. Clearly, I'd be a... Read more →

Playing possum. Which you'll want to do by the time I get to the end of this story.

Now that I "work from home," and I use air quotes because I haven't had ANY work in almost two weeks, and there's this one part of my duties at the textbook place I used to like: the coordinator would... Read more →

I'm a-pickin' and I'm a-grinnin'

I wish I could express how much I love myself for thinking up that title. Although if you read my high school diary you may agree that my love for myself extends beyond just this morning and the title-thinking-up-ness. Have... Read more →

But that June keeps a-movin', and that's what tortures Lu

My new Bye Bye, Pie mug is here! Merry Christmas, you wonderful old Building & Loan! My father has never seen It's a Wonderful Life, and never gets my references. I do not understand his kind. Don't THINK CafePress gives... Read more →

Diary of Anne--Frankly, don't you think it's creepy to read someone's diary?

Did you see Miep Gies died? She was the woman who sneaked food to Anne Frank and her family, and she was the one who found Anne Frank's diary after poor Anne was captured by those crabby Nazis. I recently... Read more →

Don't know why I brought it up

My desktop on my computer is not what you'd call tidy, necessarily. I saw this tiny picture and clicked on it. Has it been here since June, when I went on this trip? That's me, this past summer, after I'd... Read more →

Red Robbin' me of any joy

"Let's go to Red Robin!" said Marvin, like he was offering up an evening at 21 or something. "Red Robin?" I like to think of myself as being too cool to go to Red Robin, but between you and me,... Read more →

Just came in from running club and boy are my decision-making skills tired

Oy. Before I complain about how my LUNGS are BURNING and I can't stop COUGHING and thanks, all my grandparents, for smoking cigarettes throughout my childhood because clearly I have black lung, before I get into all that, I'd like... Read more →

This reminds me of the time I had deja vu

Let's all be obnoxious and start calling Henry "Henri," in a French way. I mean, let's really bring it on home with the accent, like "Onnnn-reeeeee." Try to be scrapey in your voice when you say the "Onnnn" part. If... Read more →

Oregano, Peg, Henry in the in box

Last night my neighbor had a dinner party, and I told her if she needed any help yesterday, just call, because I have no work and nothing to do because clearly I suck. About 3 p.m., the phone rang and... Read more →

June sells out

Apparently, the famous Nester already let the cat out of the bag--and as a matter of fact yes I AM selling a bag. Your pal June is selling Bye Bye, Pie crap on this site. I didn't tell you about... Read more →

I didn't even know Tallulah was dating anyone

Forgive me for posting twice in one day, but I have breaking news. Tallulah has a yeast infection in her paw. Aaaaand let the redunkulous comments begin. Read more →

Honeymoon keeps a-shining on June

Two nights in a row now, the moon has woken me up. It didn't drunk dial me or nudge me, but it's been really bright and shining right in on me, through the window and onto my pillow. IF YOU... Read more →

Seriously, am all over the place today. Go over yonder and get my arm, will ya?

And by the way, in my year-end slide show that I had December 31? No one mentioned how hilarious I was that I included a picture of my Topamax. You were all so busy poking fun at poor Marvin's song... Read more →

Mince Words with June. Or, let me get this eagle off my arm and we can commence.

This month, we read Serena by Ron Rash. Loved it! So disturbing. So unexpected. I read this thing in 24 hours. Could not put it, or my eagle, down. Okay, I need to get over the eagle. When I started... Read more →

Don't you (dododododo) forget about me

Don't forget to come back tonight at 7 Eastern for Mince Words with June, my grand and glorious book club. We didn't assign an official food this time. Let's say snake and eagle jerky. You probably have that lying around.... Read more →
