First of all, don't panic. Take a deep breath. It's all okay. I did eventually manage to get the contact lens out of my eye. I know you were worried, you're nice like that. And I know the thought of a contact lens floating around in someone's eye unanchored is a little unsettling. The ick … Continue reading what to do when you lose a contact lens. in your eye…

meeting Bert and Ernie…
A few months ago on one of our neighborhood walkabouts the kid and I stopped in at a favorite little shop to browse. Tilde is one of those shops that really doesn't have anything you would need but tends to have a lot of stuff that you want. Really really want. They curate a great … Continue reading meeting Bert and Ernie…
the saturday workout…
I distinctly remember a promise I made to myself this morning. It was after I woke up but before I got out of bed. Before I showered. Before I threw on jeans and a t-shirt, coaxed my kid out the door, caught the train, met friends for brunch, walked to a cute little shop with … Continue reading the saturday workout…
I have a way with animals – or – there’s still not a possum in my kitchen…
Long long ago at a table at a restaurant about 5 miles away I sat eating some chicken wings. I must have been eating them daintily because one little girl sharing the table with us told her dad that I looked like Snow White. Another little girl heartily agreed. I'm not gonna lie. I was … Continue reading I have a way with animals – or – there’s still not a possum in my kitchen…
and then my brother turned 42…
42 years ago today my brother was born. I guess that on the day of his birth he was not yet my brother. I wouldn't come into play for another few years. So, technically it wasn't my brother's birthday. It was just Matt's birthday. But 8 years later when this picture was taken it was … Continue reading and then my brother turned 42…
when the binge watching ends…
That moment where Netflix pauses play on your show and asks you if you're still watching? Yes I'm still watching! Yes. I know it well. You know it well. We all know it. We've all been there. Deep in the moment of annoyance meets shame meets I'm-a-grown-ass-person-I-do-what-I-want! Half the time I have to scramble to … Continue reading when the binge watching ends…
we were out of hand soap…
Earlier this year I came down with a case of the crud and a horrible cough and it turned out to be Pneumonia and, as Pneumonia does, it knocked me on my ass for a couple of weeks. It was around my birthday and I hemmed and hawed and pouted because I couldn't really DO … Continue reading we were out of hand soap…
vacation from the vacation…
Knowing I would come home exhausted from many hours of running the concrete paths that are the amusement parks of Orlando. And flying from one side of the country to the other. And then back. And sharing every moment of 4 days with my teenager without a private place for either of us to go … Continue reading vacation from the vacation…
a thank you note to kidney stones…
Not so very long ago, my father, whom I more commonly refer to as "Daddy," was diagnosed with kidney stones. Now, I'm no doctor, nor do I play one on tv, so you'll have to forgive my simple assessment and description of the situation. He had big fucking kidney stones. Not the kind you simply … Continue reading a thank you note to kidney stones…
the start of my week ended with a bang…
I am a graceful person. Really graceful. You know that poem Tuesday's Child? Yeah. I was born on a Tuesday, that's how graceful I am. I once hiked up a mountain in high heels and a dress for a friend's wedding ceremony and when I reached the top not a strand of hair was out-of-place … Continue reading the start of my week ended with a bang…
