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
veg in a box
Do you see that? Hear it? Smell it? Spring is here. Well it's Springish anyway. No, I'm standing firm, I'm sticking with Spring is here because I need a little push to get something done in time. I need to build my planter boxes. For the last few years it's been my intention to build … Continue reading veg in a box
bad with names
Every one has their flaws, I have many. One of them is that I'm bad with names. I can meet you 6 times and forget your name, and then the grace period where I should know your name has passed and I'm too shy to ask who you are... Also, I'm not always good at … Continue reading bad with names
someone’s fool
Maybe it's a complete lack of whimsy on my part, but I'm not a huge fan of April Fools day. At all. Having an entire day of the year where I can't rely on what anyone says to be true, false press releases, ridiculous jokes, people telling their family they're getting divorced when they're not, … Continue reading someone’s fool
honesty is always the awkward policy

It was the last day of Spring break and she had to go to school bright and early the next morning so we … Continue reading honesty is always the awkward policy
alone
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

We were busy last friday, and this week's lunch 2.0 in Portland was rescheduled... but today is Beer & Blog … Continue reading take your daddy to tech day
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'm a beef rib girl myself but the rest of the family prefer pork ribs. But since it's my house and I am … Continue reading bring on the crazy…
