It has been at least 5 years since I've owned a toaster. If I had to guess I'd say it's been more like 13 because I can't recall having a toaster when I met Mike and I don't think he had one either. I'm guessing the last time I had a toaster was when I … Continue reading consumer whore cami buys a toaster…
to do day
I'll be honest from the very beginning and admit that this post is mostly going up so I have something else to stare at if I go to my blog. Some other piece of writing. Words different than words of mourning. So on that cheery note I present to you my to do day. We … Continue reading to do day
and everyone
We all know that everyone dies. It's a fact of life. The fact. It's what makes us all human. Mortal. Real. That doesn't make its sting any less painful. Any less jarring. It doesn't stop you from missing someone that you love. It doesn't make knowing you will never see that joyous loving smile again … Continue reading and everyone
everything dies
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
the silly sitter chronicles
Last week I wrote about an incident with the sitter and the dishwasher that left my kitchen floor sparkly clean... well Violet Nuit sat with K for 10 hours yesterday and we came home to yet another installment of what has now been titled by K "The Silly Sitter Chronicles". 10 hours is a long … Continue reading the silly sitter chronicles
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
