Sunday Jugging

June 5, 2011 LaToya Jordan

This is EMPTY! I'm spending this beautiful day inside because of the above-pictured jug aka Jug O' Urine. This beautiful orange jug is for me to collect my urine for 24 hours. Whoever created this jug is genius, the orange color masks the urine color, which would make this whole process even grosser. And believe… Continue reading Sunday Jugging

Thanks to everyone who participated in the Big Poetry Giveaway. I just found out I won a book through Poemeleon's giveaway. Hooray! Happy birthday to me! It is my birthday today. And after receiving lots of presents I am in a giving mood so I thought I'd enter everyone's names into the random number generator. Drumroll… Continue reading And the winners are…

I should write something here…

April 27, 2011 LaToya Jordan

But I'm collecting my thoughts. This is my blog about writing. Only I haven't been writing much the past few weeks. Work is crazy busy. And anytime I sit down to write something other than work, emails, or facebook & twitter updates, I can only think about one thing. And I'm not ready to write… Continue reading I should write something here…

Day 9 of Poem-A-Day

April 9, 2011April 9, 2011 LaToya Jordan

...And I've only written 2 poems! For the 3rd year in a row I pretty much suck at this. I always have some excuse--this year I was in Florida for the first 3 days of April basking in the heavenly rays that the East Coast has been missing. Work has been crazy busy. I have… Continue reading Day 9 of Poem-A-Day

2011 Poetry Giveaway

March 27, 2011 LaToya Jordan

In addition to an attempt to write a poem a day for National Poetry Month, I thought it would be cool to participate in this poetry giveaway being coordinated by Kelli Agodon. I’m a lurking reader of her blog, so here’s my way of coming out, “Hi, Kells!” (I feel like such a dork). The… Continue reading 2011 Poetry Giveaway

All I think about are KIDNEYS!

March 27, 2011March 27, 2011 LaToya Jordan

Women who are planning weddings always find a way to sneak the word "wedding" into daily conversation. Same thing goes for moms of babies (although I prefer hearing baby talk to wedding talk). It's not that I am always bringing up my kidneys, people keep asking me about it, so there's lots of talk. Plus… Continue reading All I think about are KIDNEYS!

Kidney Math

March 8, 2011March 8, 2011 LaToya Jordan

Now: I have two kidneys. My brother has two kidneys. We have four kidneys between us. After Transplant: I will have one kidney. My brother will have three kidneys. We will have four kidneys between us. How freaking weird is that? I remember going through the kidney transplant orientation with my family and the nurse… Continue reading Kidney Math

Writing Through Trying Times

February 18, 2011 LaToya Jordan

I've always been a writer. I fell in love with books as a little girl. One day I told myself I was going to have a book with my name on it, so I started writing. I wrote in diaries and journals. I wrote soap operas. I wrote the occasional poem and short story. I… Continue reading Writing Through Trying Times

Quick Shout: Write Resolution

January 10, 2011 LaToya Jordan

I'm here! I have been neglecting my duties to my blog. For my thousands of loyal readers (ha) I'm sorry. With the holidays, working on my chapbook, writing for The Rumpus, and life in general, I've let it slip. This year, I am going to attempt to write a poem a week. I will probably… Continue reading Quick Shout: Write Resolution
