Friday was an exciting day for me. With K at school I had plenty of time to prep and get ready to do Strange Love Live from BarCampPortland's Friday night kickoff. For me it was just like prep for another episode, except no one would be coming to my house. Instead of getting things tidied … Continue reading it’s not the swine flu… really
Mama, What does F-U-C…
Sunday is traditionally family day here in the Kaos household. No matter how many tasks we accomplish during the week Saturday always sees some overlap of work, tasks, chores, you know stuff that has to get done. On Sunday we try our hardest to forget all that or find a fun way to work on … Continue reading Mama, What does F-U-C…
smoke signals
Around the time I was 15 I started sneaking cigarettes here and there... by the time I was 17 I was a smoker. I continued down that path of smoking until I was 23 years old. In November of 2000 I quit smoking. It was the very end of November, after thanksgiving. I'd tried to … Continue reading smoke signals
in the twilight zone
Something is just not right here folks. Something strange is afoot (and not just at the circle K). Mike is home from work for a few days since we have a foreign exchange Podcaster staying with us. We can't just keep him locked up in the house, we need to take him to see some … Continue reading in the twilight zone
when cats cry
Oh what to do, what to say? Yesterday I posted about all those drafts that were saved up in my wordpress... Posts I had barely written. Posts that were long and never concluded. Posts that had great meaning, but I just kind of had trouble letting go of them. The one that seemed most intriguing … Continue reading when cats cry
heavy
In the drafts folder of this blog sit so many unfinished posts... Some are heavy and laden with meaning. Sleep, life, love, marriage, friendship, parenting, the years passing by, vegetable gardens. Even one about an email from a friend that suddenly found herself going through something I'd suffered through in the past. There's a post … Continue reading heavy
because maybe I’m getting a little stodgy
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
because I’m just such a people person…
After a very long 4 hours of looking EVERYWHERE in my house for an envelope containing many pages of important information and totally NOT finding that envelope I sat down at my dining table with my laptop to find some solace in the internets. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door... There's something you … Continue reading because I’m just such a people person…
toonlet fridays… err… something
On a side note, yes... I really did just wander around my house doing Friday things. Things I only do on Fridays. It's a good thing I checked my calendar to see what my weekend looked like or I would have wound up freaked out and pissed off in a few hours.
passing notes
The other day I was doing some long overdue blog rounds, reading people I've only just become enamored with as well as some old favorites. One of those favorites did something very interesting (say that with a funny faux German accent please). She made secret notes to some of the blogs that she frequents. Right … Continue reading passing notes
