Working from home affords for a fair amount of flexibility. I don't just mean the obvious stuff like being able to take my kid to school and being around when packages are delivered or taking long lunch breaks. All of those, along with pants or no pants flexibility are great. But the thing that's really on … Continue reading musical chairs…
dear cat…
Dear Cat, I hear you. Both on an audible level meaning I hear your loud howling and meowling. The heavy clomp of the kitty-paws I know can be so delicately silent. And the out-of-character hissing at your brother-cat. And on an emotional level I hear the intensity behind those kitty cries. And the pent-up energy … Continue reading dear cat…
silence is golden – or – how we didn’t talk about age of ultron for 3 days…
First I should tell you that this post is not about Avengers: Age of Ultron. There will be no information about the movie. No spoilers. No nothing. I'm not even going to tell you what I think of the movie. Okay fine, maybe I'll tell you if I liked it. Because it's a superhero movie... … Continue reading silence is golden – or – how we didn’t talk about age of ultron for 3 days…
the making of a twitter bio…
Last night as I was walking down the street I was in the tweeting kind of mood. The sky was blue but the sun was just starting to hint at its intent to set. It was warm enough that I didn't need a jacket but cool enough that I could wear a hoodie without overheating. … Continue reading the making of a twitter bio…
pretty peas…
I don't like peas. I really don't like peas. At least that's been the story for the vast majority of my 38 years on this planet. I've been asked more times than I can count where the strange aversion comes from. And I've spun many tales. Some of those are true or at least half-true. … Continue reading pretty peas…
adding things to the wishlist…
You know that moment when you somehow find yourself online shopping for a plaster sculpture of faux taxidermy deer head with antlers? And then you're super excited when you find it. And that it comes in red! And then you realize that you have no fucking business being on the internet ever again. Yeah, I'm in it.
life lessons with cami…
Some parts of my life are pretty exciting, new and different every day. But there are some things that remain the same and one of those is my daily frustration with kids riding their bikes to school and not wearing a helmet. Okay, let's be real. Not just kids. Grown ass adults too. Hey dumbass! Put … Continue reading life lessons with cami…
it’s like you don’t even know me…
I've spent the past couple of days in the sunny desert city of Phoenix, Arizona. And much like every trip I've taken in my life I find I discover something new with every trip. Take something in at every location. Grow as a person with every new corner of the world I see. And often … Continue reading it’s like you don’t even know me…
kermit in a blender…
Last week as I stood at the counter mincing chicken breast K stood beside me shelling edamame. Conversation drifted this way and that before we finally landed on a topic she wanted to discuss. "Mama, have you ever made something too horrible to eat?" It's a plain enough question. But I can't always tell what's … Continue reading kermit in a blender…
I went to the store for an onion…
Last night's dinner decision was made, essentially, because I didn't want to go to the store. Simple. Practical even. It's how a lot of food choices get made around here. It's also how some of my best meals and recipes have come into existence. But I can't make every food choice based on the contents … Continue reading I went to the store for an onion…
