A year ago today my daddy underwent a kidnectomy. No, that's not a real word but I don't know what else to call it when a kidney is all cancer ridden and gross and so they have to cut it out. I'm making new words today. It's a celebration. Anyway, back to the kidnectomy, it … Continue reading an updated thank you note to kidney stones…

if it were only cat calls…
Yesterday I worked. I ran errands. I worked some more. And then when I realized it was time to head out the door to a happy hour I threw my jeans and a black tank top on, put on my sandals, ran a flatiron through my hair, threw on some bb cream, mascara, and chapstick … Continue reading if it were only cat calls…
I’m only online to write a blog post…
Earlier today while chatting with my friend as we whiled away the hours at work we got to talking about our blogs. Which really makes complete and total sense given who I work for and what I do. Of course blogging would be a topic of conversation with my friends and coworkers. And in the … Continue reading I’m only online to write a blog post…
wishing for a green thumb…
There are few scents more soothing and restorative to me than the perfume of Star Jasmine on a cool breeze. Growing up my family moved around a bit. And by a bit I mean a lot. The few people I know who moved around as much or more than I did as a kid are … Continue reading wishing for a green thumb…
what to do when you lose a contact lens. in your eye…
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…
