My birthday is coming soon. Less than a week away and I want to be very very excited. Want to be, but not so much. Why? None of the reasons you might think (like I could possibly know what you're thinking right). It's because for 3 weeks there have been sick people in my house … Continue reading no, not me
really, 9 years
9 years ago while I was sitting drinking a martini, just after I had a really nice steak, a friend of my friend's walked into a bar to meet us. He smelled good. Actually he smelled great. And then I was in love with him. With my track record that could have been THE END. … Continue reading really, 9 years

the calendar
I have to know, I really do. I need to ask and you have to tell me... Am I the only one putting stuff on my calendar for the summer? It started innocently enough. Marking the last day of school, noting the date of K's ballet performance. Writing in a conference... or two. Okay fine … Continue reading the calendar
the nightmare
As a girl I was plagued with bad dreams, so much so that at some point I stopped crying out in the night unless the visions were particularly stunning.

And who cares if I just deleted a few after glancing at them and realizing how long they were... So what if I only left … Continue reading because I am queen of this computer
why I hate you so much…
When I woke up this morning at 6:30 it was to the demonic howling of Bob, my little green alarm clock. That sounds hateful, it really does... and there's a reason for that. I hate my alarm clock. Before you go getting any ideas about my alarm clock wronging me in some way I should … Continue reading why I hate you so much…
while I slept
Monday in the wee hours of the morning when the sun had not yet risen my friend did something magical. Amazing. Incredible. She gave birth to a baby girl. While I curled up in blissful slumber with my beautiful (feverish) child and darling husband she was just a couple of miles away laboring to bring … Continue reading while I slept
the sustainable lunch
Every morning I carefully pack lunch for K. I reach up to the top of the fridge and grab her adorable Hello Kitty pink canvas lunch box. I pull her sandwich and snack containers out of the dishwasher or the cupboard and I fill her adorably overpriced (though very durable) drink bottle with juice or … Continue reading the sustainable lunch
