What is it about the bio section of anything, anything at all, that sends me reeling? I can talk about myself until I'm blue in the face, and I do, here, everyday... But put the word "bio" on a page and then expect me to fill it out? Ah hellz no! Normally I'll just skip … Continue reading the bio
communication
We have a large wood table in our dining room. It seats 6 comfortably but we've gotten 10 people around it a time or two. It's home to family meals, friendly chats, art projects, pumpkin carving, other things... Right now I sit at one end of it, my beloved dining table. Mike sits at the … Continue reading communication
questioning my sanity
Last year as soon as Halloween was through I hunkered down in front of my computer and did the unthinkable. The unbelievable. The completely unreasonable. I wrote a novel from start to finish in the month of November. Actually I finished one day early and that one day early... it was the only thing that … Continue reading questioning my sanity
bloggy inservice day?
My daughter is home from school today for a teacher inservice day. Do you know what this means? It means I can turn off my alarm clock. No alarm clock... as a matter of fact hold on a moment will you, I'm going to reach over and pick that little green wobbling clock up off … Continue reading bloggy inservice day?
a family
Tonight after Mike got home from work I got to go out. I got to leave the house. Those of you not held captive by a small child 24 hours a day might not get the significance of that so let me repeat it for you: I got to go out with no kid on … Continue reading a family
why the bathroom smells like wet cat…
It was Friday, just afternoon. I'd spent the morning volunteering at school and had to head back at 1pm but I needed a few moments for me. I'd already had a bite to eat and wasted some time on twitter so I was at a bit of a loss. I stretched my arms and back … Continue reading why the bathroom smells like wet cat…
close to flying…
I remember being barefoot and gliding through the sky in the shade of a tree. My heart was pounding as I took great gulps of air, I was terrified and invincible all at once as I pumped my legs forward and back willing myself to go higher and higher. To my right my best friend … Continue reading close to flying…

There's a man I see every weekday. I don't know him, not even his name. I've never even heard his voice... I know next to nothing about him, yet everyday I spare a moment to wonder about him. Each day on my way home from dropping K off at school we pass on the street. … Continue reading cracked
15 hours… what I learned at WordCamPDX
Aside from the reaffirmation that the Portland Tech scene is all love and rainbows and pretty ponies I learned a thing or two at WordCamPDX. First and foremost I learned that despite my know-it-all attitude I can sit in a room with a ton of other people and learn very very little because I had … Continue reading 15 hours… what I learned at WordCamPDX
15 hours… my touchy feely post about WordCamPDX
I woke up at the completely indecent hour of 5:30 AM... Okay that's a lie, I was supposed to wake up at 5:30 but really I didn't wake up til closer to 6 in the morning to drag my snoozey self out of bed. I'd been up all night (til 1, maybe 1:30) and I … Continue reading 15 hours… my touchy feely post about WordCamPDX
