I forget sometimes that writing is work because I often sit a play at it, letting the words fall from on high when they want to. Writing is a pleasure for me. A comfort. A constant in a life that, though it has been happy, is often tumultuous. So sometimes one emotion, one thought, one … Continue reading musing

dear 2010: can we make a deal?
First, let me say thank you 2010. You've been pretty fucking awesome. Seriously. As far as the first 11 days of the year go I'm hard pressed to recall better. And I'm busy. And not really the bad busy that makes me crazy because I have no time. The busy you're handing me is incredible. … Continue reading dear 2010: can we make a deal?
umbrella
As I greeted my daughter at school pickup she was all smiles. Glowing. She was proud of herself and all she'd done today, happy to be back with her friends and engaged in their current science project. She bounced toward me and I gave her umbrella to her. She opened it up and hand in … Continue reading umbrella
hello there Monday, you sly son of a…
Wow, those last couple of weeks just zipped right by didn't they? What? You don't remember them? The last couple weeks of LAST year, the first few days of THIS year? Yeah. They were quick. And tomorrow is a whole new world! I love my kid. I do. She's all kinds of great wrapped up … Continue reading hello there Monday, you sly son of a…
in the morning
I woke up suddenly to the sound of an alarm, face blushed and burning, breathing halted momentarily while my body insisted it was still in the dream and my mind raced to figure out what was really going on. Leaning up on one elbow I took stock of the dim morning light filtering in through … Continue reading in the morning
the one where I say “Happy New Year” and you say “Duh”
I'm going to share something with you (like I do) and I hope that you won't hold it against me. Because my opinion? My take on the whole 2009 thing? It wasn't so bad. I've had too many people argue with me about that. That it was HORRIBLE. FOR EVERYONE. For me, eh... not so … Continue reading the one where I say “Happy New Year” and you say “Duh”
now you know I mean business…
we've struggled over the last few years to carve out an office space for me in the house. It's moved around a lot. I've given it up twice to do things with space I thought was more important. Little known fact: Our recording studio used to be two rooms. Well a room and a half. … Continue reading now you know I mean business…
disqualified…
It's entirely possible that what I'm about to write is one of those things that will completely disqualify me from ever being mother of the year, but it's true so I think I'll go ahead and tell you anyway. This part of Christmas... the part I'm in the midst of RIGHT NOW as I type … Continue reading disqualified…
this post is not about the weather
It isn't. I swear. The theme of this post is NOT weather related. But... It would be unethical of me not to let you all know that it is really really really really really really really really really really really really really cold out there. Like when I woke up, it was 19 degrees kind … Continue reading this post is not about the weather
notes on a Saturday
- No matter how far in advance you put something important on your calendar, something just as important can come a long and totally mess with that first thing... Even 5 months in advance. - When it rains it pours... that happens with good things too. - Raising my child is totally interfering with my … Continue reading notes on a Saturday
