I have no shame. I apologize in advance.

I like the idea of Lincoln as a vampire hunter because he was a giant of a man who really did have massive strength, so it seems appropriate. I can't wait to see that movie.
I'm goin' off the rails...
All aboard! The crazy train to Snippet Wednesday departs now. Friend-less This little gem came through my Twitter feed yesterday. It's a list of warning signs which you should consider when determining who on Facebook to unfriend. It basically states that if you like things like Nickelback, Joh...
7 years, eh? Crazy! I'm on 8 years as of next week, I think. Congratulations!
Mister Pre-si-dennnnnntttt...
Dear kapgar.com, I wanted to take a moment to wish you a very happy seventh blogiversary. We've had some highs and lows. We've had hundreds of hits per day with dozens of comments and we've had a dozen hits with zero comments. There have been good designs and bad designs. But we've come throug...
I don't know how the fuck I missed this post, but I've had my head in the sand for a while now. Congratulations to both of you! That's fantastic!
Baby it's a wonderful news...
Dear readers of Kapgar.com, I owe you all an apology and a sincere debt of gratitude. For the last several months, I've been lacking as a blogger and host. You all regularly pop in on me or have your RSS aggregators set to collect my latest post and, yet, I've given you little or nothing in reco...
Seems about right! There are always just as many exceptions as there are rules.
Female Hormones: A primer for men
I realize that as much time I spend with men, there are many aspects of their behavior I will always find mysterious. The ball grabbing. Because they might just disappear without you knowing! The half-assery. Why put a bowl in the sink when you can just leave it right next to the sink! The stu...
That strength of yours comes through in every word. Letting go is so fucking hard, but once it happens, it's amazing.

Skeletons in the closet
I only deep-clean when I'm angry. And I was angry. Rather than be spending time cleaning out a closet and re-organizing purses, wallets, clothes, shoes and every accessory I own by color, style and length I would have preferred to be seeking revenge. That kind of angry. It's a damn good thing...
Awww, happy birthday!
Lucky 7
You. I don't even know how to tell you just how proud I am of you. How much I love you. How much you rock. You are the best kind of friend a person could ask for, the defender of the playground, Mr. Do-Good, an amazing chef, the best assistant, the peacekeeper, happy-go-lucky, gracious and ki...
I'm not participating, but I'll be a kickass cheerleader.
Operation Eleanor: Here. We. Go.
Are you ready? It's time to start our little big challenge! Operation Eleanor starts today. If you're joining me on this adventure, you can already account for one of your 30 things: This. Doing this. Check today off on the calendar. Be sure to link up below if you're participating and add yo...
I think it's awesome that you're doing this, especially because you already strike me as such a kick-ass, fearless chick that it intrigues me to think about what things YOU fear of all people.
Operation Eleanor: 30 Day Challenge
Clearly I'm not one to be motivating anyone else to take this trek if I'm in need of taking it myself, but Mark Twain is. I think. I don't actually know if he's inspiring to you but this quote was like oh-so-fitting so let's just roll with it, ok? Ok! *brisk hand clap* A lot of people had que...
Awesome post, Megan. Love this.
I just want you to know...
To my boys: School is starting and I just want you to know that... I love you. You make me proud. You are the funniest people I know. And the bravest. You are so smart. Your hugs are amazing. Your fist bumps are too. You are great MMA fighters, soccer, baseball and basketball players but...
Was it ol' Cuntface who called you Asshole Jaw? You guys are like Dick Tracy villains.
Three Things I Learned At BlogHer 2011
So I went to my first BlogHer Conference, because it was here in San Diego, and hey, why not? I submitted a big essay to my overlords at Man Of The House, which will detail What It All Meant, so I won't do an exhaustive/exhausting recap here. I said hi to just about everyone I met for the first ...
I love that photo of Maura! And I clearly need to work harder towards losing that last 40-50 pounds.
More BlogHer Moments ...
Whew! I've been insanely hectic for weeks with my vacation, the conference, and (oh yes!) returning home to house guests! I don't think I told you I returned to a house full of people, did I? Have I mentioned I also lost my voice by the time I arrived back in The OC? There's never a dull moment ...
Also, do you know of any physicians in the area who are flexible about writing herbal prescriptions for anxiety?
Top 5 Things You Must Do If You're A Dude Going To BlogHer 2011
It occured to me that there are (myself included) only four dadbloggers here in San Diego (please don't send me nasty emails if you are a San Diego dadblogger and I didn't mention you), all of us will be at BlogHer '11 in some capacity, and none of us has (as of this writing) stepped up t...
Don't drink beer or whisky, don't like the beach, and don't like sports. I guess that just leaves hanging out with hundreds of women. Damn.

Yup. But there are times when it changes from "lonely" to "alone". And it's comfortable and a world where you can reflect and take in the silence before going out into the world.
Call me any time you want. I mean it - night or day. I know exactly what you're going through. Love you.
Lonely
If you could touch lonely, it would feel like a worn brass doorknob handle, slightly warm from the last touch, streaked in goodbyes with fingerprinted memories - vivid and fond - which no amount of furrowing of the brow will bring back the one who left. Lonely is when you can almost see the fo...
Now I'm ashamed of my version! :)
where I'm from
I am from lush green lawns and long white winters, a steady and humbled tick of hours counting down to the fall. I am from Mayflower namesakes and Irish fleeing the famine, and wiping the sawdust from a four-cornered shawl. I am from fleeing the past, and building anew, and learning when, where ...
I know exactly what you're going through. You know how to reach me any time you need to talk. xo
The end
Six months, four days. It felt never-ending at times. Like an entire lifetime was passing by. Hamsters running, running, running yet going nowhere on a wheel that spins in place. But it only took six months, four days to end fifteen years. I could feel his head turn, his eyes - heavy with sadn...
Anyone who doesn't love you for you isn't worth being counted at all.
On being me
It catches me off-guard when people describe me as ballsy, a go-getter, out-spoken. Perhaps in comparison to some, sure, I guess I am. But compared to who I used to be? The girl who would say whatever she wanted and not care what others thought? The girl who would go against the grain for the me...
