Last night we got home from recording a bonus episode of the podcast and I was starving. I really needed something to eat because it was like 9:33 at night and I hadn't eaten dinner and honestly I don't quite recall if I ate lunch. So when we did get home all I could think … Continue reading everything dies
three by the sea…
This Summer vacation has been filled to the brim with NOT being on vacation. We've been swarmed with busies. Engulfed by the things to do. Inundated with important tasks... Well this weekend we said NO MORE! It's been a tough week. Mike's grandmother continues her trek to the end of things and that weighs heavily … Continue reading three by the sea…
missing you
I miss hard words coming out of my mouth. Once upon a time before I was able to spout fairy tales of rainbows and princesses riding unicorns to their coronation as queen of utopia I was the kind of girl that could cuss a blue streak. I'd make a sailor blush, or a trucker, or … Continue reading missing you
today’s post brought to you by life
I had this big long post written up about something I did over the weekend but it needed some tweaking and a little touching up to keep me from sounding like a completely vacuous monster. I kid. But not about that. As I sat down to work on it and make my perspective more clear, … Continue reading today’s post brought to you by life

loveable silly little me…
Generally, I like myself very much. I can say that with a certain amount of pride and clarity because I recall half a lifetime ago when I was not so lucky. When I looked in the mirror and the girl that looked back, her awkward smile and icy eyes, they weren't what I wanted to … Continue reading loveable silly little me…
truth be told, sort of
Oh babies, it's time to come clean. Tell the truth. Fill you in. You deserve to know these things after all. Here it goes, are you ready? This is big... It's been really hot. There I've said it. It's been really hot and the truth is that I live in Portland, Oregon. Not California, not … Continue reading truth be told, sort of
and my kitchen floor is sparkly clean…
Recently we had the good fortune of acquiring an amazing babysitter. Violet Nuit. Now babysitters can be amazing for a variety of reasons and each family needs its own special fit. A babysitter that is perfect for us may be horrible for someone else and the other way around... But we got very lucky in … Continue reading and my kitchen floor is sparkly clean…
clothing racks and the love hate relationship
I have a love hate relationship with clothing that I used to mistake for a love hate relationship with my body. There are few things as frustrating as taking the time to go clothing shopping, being ready and willing to spend a bit of money on clothes (after all, we're not all nudists) and then … Continue reading clothing racks and the love hate relationship
down there
I need to handle this with a little delicacy. A sense of decorum. I need to say it gently because otherwise I might freak out. It's possible that I may have already freaked out... but just a little. How am I going to say this? What's the best way to handle the situation we've found … Continue reading down there
