Hello, Cleveland! Is this mic on? Check…check one-two. Welcome to my new chunk of prime real estate on the web! My blog got a makeover and she’s got an entourage now – check out the rest of my site, y’all. I wrestled with the chicken-and-egginess of the whole operation: do I publish first and then […]
Blogging on the Brink
Short public service announcement for you lovely souls who follow I’ll Blog When I’m Dead – change is in the air! I’ve got a cool new web site launching, and my blog will have a new home there. You can find me at jesstopper.com or jessicatopper.com, so pop on by and say hello! I’m honored […]
(School) Supply and Demand
There’s a nip in the air come nightfall, and the leaves are performing their annual drop-and-clog ritual into the swimming pool. Halloween candy is already in the supermarkets, so school must be right around the corner! As a kid, this was truly my favorite time of year. I loved pulling out cozy warmer clothes and […]
Summer Tour 2012
Hello cats and kittens! Miss me? I’ve missed all of you. It appears I took the month of May off. Hmm. More like I blinked and it was gone. April was a fun blur. I am still getting a lot of traffic here due to the Herculean Blogging from A-Z Challenge, which is all kinds […]
C-O-F-F-E-E
As part of L’Aussie Writer’s APPRECIATING THE ZEALOTRY Challenge, I am re-posting one of my favorites from the April A-Z Challenge. Pour yourself a cup, sit back and enjoy! 38 seconds. That’s the time it takes from pushing the button on my Keurig to taking my first morning sip. I know this because I […]

When I created this site last October, I chose the tongue-in-cheek title “I’ll Blog When I’m Dead” as a […]
Zoas…?
I had the best intentions to write my Z post on William Blake’s The Four Zoas. If I had had a brain in my head, I would have written that “Z” post during that first, fresh week and squirreled it away. But I didn’t. And I didn’t. And now I have zero idea of where […]
Yodelittle
I almost got tripped up on letter Y. One day away from the finale – I can’t be fresh out of ideas! All I kept thinking was yogurt. But I didn’t want to write about yogurt. I do eat it every morning (greek non-fat vanilla mixed with non-fat plain to cut the sweetness) but that […]
X is for…Xigua (and what did we do before the Internet?)
A few months ago, two other mothers and I took our daughters to the bowling alley. The girls have been friends since preschool, the Moms enjoy spending time together, and we often go out as a group on weekends. Although all three are in fourth grade, they now attend different schools. One girl brought her […]
