Today is the first time in about 3 weeks that I will be alone in my own home. OhMyGod. Do you have any idea how good that sounds? To curl up in my socks and undies under a blanket and eat breakfast while I read tweets? To do laundry without care? To clean the kitchen … Continue reading alone
Ms. October
That's right, I was one of the Portland folks who bared a little skin for the Get Naked For A Cause Charity Calendar... Along with my fully clothed husband and partner in pod-casting I'm Ms. October. Come on down, buy a copy of the calendar and I'll sign it for you. xoxo

bring on the crazy…
In order to earn his keep around here while he visits we've been known to force my dad to perform certain tasks. This time around? He has to make ribs for us.

I had … Continue reading I reserve the right to repeat myself
