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 calendar
I have to know, I really do. I need to ask and you have to tell me... Am I the only one putting stuff on my calendar for the summer? It started innocently enough. Marking the last day of school, noting the date of K's ballet performance. Writing in a conference... or two. Okay fine … Continue reading the calendar
why I hate you so much…
When I woke up this morning at 6:30 it was to the demonic howling of Bob, my little green alarm clock. That sounds hateful, it really does... and there's a reason for that. I hate my alarm clock. Before you go getting any ideas about my alarm clock wronging me in some way I should … Continue reading why I hate you so much…
growing up
Some of my earliest memories are of my mother sewing. She seemed to be able to make anything with her old white Singer. It had a special table in every house we lived in and at it she could make a new dress, fix a pair of pants, attire my baby dolls in style or … Continue reading growing up
notes from a weekend
It's Sunday night as I write this and I am painfully aware of the fact that Monday is nipping at me. My alarm clock will go off at 6:25 in the morning and I'll have to roll on out of bed. Before that happens though, I thought I would take a peek back at my … Continue reading notes from a weekend
the journal of a would be madman: part 1
The election prompted Mike to take a look back at a journal he had written in school as a boy. I've seen many such journals and always reflected that I would love to share them with you, dear internets. Well today is your lucky day because I asked if I could scan a few pages … Continue reading the journal of a would be madman: part 1
today
What I'd like to do today is contemplate. Hope. Dream. I'd like to watch a new era rush in with the inauguration of this President. This man that gives me some hope for our future. I'd like to believe. We got him this far... let's see what he can do.
dooooood…
I had a few posts all planned in my head... inluding a thing I was tagged for (no that does not mean you can tag me... don't you dare, I am off limits for tagging, this is a special occasion). But then the day got really short and suddenly it was night time and we … Continue reading dooooood…
can’t think… salavating
I've been wracking my brain about what to write today and everything is either very serious and involves spending time and concentration on a post... or it's about bacon. Why would I be writing about bacon? Because Saturday is Masterbacon and I'm one of the judges (squeee!) and that means that I get to taste … Continue reading can’t think… salavating
more blogs than you can shake a stick at…
I'm going to save the grumblings on how I've been the victim of theft not just once, but twice already this year for another day, and instead talk about something wonderful. Something glorious. Something downright helpful that happened right here in the city I call my home. Community. Oh yes, I know I've said a … Continue reading more blogs than you can shake a stick at…
