There are a few things to discuss today class. Key among them being that Easter was yesterday. What's that? How was my Easter? Very secular, thanks for asking. K woke us up bright & early at 6:30 in the morning wanted to see what the Easter Bunny had left for her. I, being a little … Continue reading because maybe I’m getting a little stodgy

veg in a box
Do you see that? Hear it? Smell it? Spring is here. Well it's Springish anyway. No, I'm standing firm, I'm sticking with Spring is here because I need a little push to get something done in time. I need to build my planter boxes. For the last few years it's been my intention to build … Continue reading veg in a box
bad with names
Every one has their flaws, I have many. One of them is that I'm bad with names. I can meet you 6 times and forget your name, and then the grace period where I should know your name has passed and I'm too shy to ask who you are... Also, I'm not always good at … Continue reading bad with names

This Friday has special significance in the lives of many... It's my daughter's birthday. It's the first day of spring. It's the anniversary of this country's invasion of Iraq. I don't need a calendar to tell me any of that. I remember the day she was born thinking that she was going to arrive on … Continue reading bittersweet
an unexpected compliment
I spent some time today with a good friend who shall remain nameless in order to protect her identity and her safety... and quite potentially her street cred. While we were together we talked about this that and the other thing, got pedicures, ate lunch. We were also really really judgmental of movie stars while … Continue reading an unexpected compliment
the sustainable lunch
Every morning I carefully pack lunch for K. I reach up to the top of the fridge and grab her adorable Hello Kitty pink canvas lunch box. I pull her sandwich and snack containers out of the dishwasher or the cupboard and I fill her adorably overpriced (though very durable) drink bottle with juice or … Continue reading the sustainable lunch
that’s what I get for thinking…
Last night before I climbed into bed with my laptop and a stack of papers I needed to read and or type up I took NyQuil. I have a cold and I am trying to kick that cold before Friday night gets here so I don't sound/look/seem like I have a cold on the show. … Continue reading that’s what I get for thinking…
