I’m feeling ever so guilty for not having an original post today, especially after being featured by FTS as his spotlighted blog of the week (thanks FTS, I’m flattered and honored!). Here come the excuses. Excuse #1: The post I had all planned for last night had to be postponed until next week for reasons […]

I’m sore, and it’s all my adorable husband’s fault. You see, it’s his job to do the yard work. It’s always been that way, despite the fact that at every opportunity, he delights in pointing out the other women in our neighborhood who mow their lawns. I don’t know how to turn on the lawn […]

My mother is the queen of graph paper. As in, she’s the only person I know who even knows what to do with the stuff, keeping some handy at all times. I don’t believe she’s ever purchased or even simply moved a piece of furniture without having first accosted it with the tape measure and […]
My parents sold my childhood home last year when my dad retired, and built a new house near us that they have finally moved into. It’s gorgeous. Simply beautiful, and state of the art. I dream of some day having such a home for my family. But… We slept over there for the first time […]

Start with two beloved but rambunctious offspring who have yet to learn the difference between inside and outside voices. Add one tirelessly fun-loving husband who is more boisterous than the both of them put together. Season generously with gleeful shouts and infectious laughter. Sprinkle in a pinch of whining and crying to taste. Blend in […]

I don’t like these memes and never thought I’d tag myself, but I liked this one, picked up from Follow That Star, enough to steal it for my own blog. Directions: Pick a musician/band and answer the questions using ONLY song titles from their repertoire. Artist/band: Billy Joel Are you male or female: She’s Always […]

I like to consider myself a helpful person, and to that end I am going to perform a public service and offer some valuable advice. Should you ever travel to New York, you would be wise to request a room that does not overlook Times Square. Because if you think you want a view of […]

Should one write when one is not in a writing mood? I have the time at the moment, but not the inclination. There is not a creative spark in my head. This blogger acutely realizes that she hasn’t written anything original here in nearly a week. My sister called the other day to demand more […]

I’ve already done my reflections on age here, so no mushy sentimentalism about growing older will be found in this location today. Let me just say that 34 was a great year in many, many ways, and I hope 35 turns out to be its equal. It would be greedy of me to ask for […]

I’ve got a crazy week, gearing up for a work trip this weekend. Not much time to write, so I’m going to send you to some of my favorites from the archives. Today’s nostalgic look back is one of my early entries, from way back in the day June. Yes, I am making you work […]
