No relationship lives in black and white—and apparently, neither do I. In Act I, I told you about Cheri—the first friend who saw me without flinching. That friendship cracked something open in me, and then it broke me when it ended. In Act II, I picked up the pieces and tried to rebuild myself out … Continue reading my history of understanding friendship — act III: of course I’m on a spectrum…

my history of understanding friendship — act I: the bracelet-making soulmate and the life-sized goodbye..
When I was a kid, friendship felt pretty straightforward. You’d walk up to another kid on the playground and ask if they wanted to play. If they said yes and were nice, boom: friend. If they said no or broke one of my sacred, unspoken rules? Not a friend. Just some kid with poor judgment. … Continue reading my history of understanding friendship — act I: the bracelet-making soulmate and the life-sized goodbye..
learning to knit: James says…
If you're anything like me I've already gotten Jane Says stuck in your head and you're having a full blown nostalgia throwback to your younger days. It shouldn't be too hard considering that everything I wore in the 90s is back with a vengeance. But let's shake that loose and get back to the point … Continue reading learning to knit: James says…
cami kaos goes to a musical… again
There are things you know to be true about yourself once you reach a certain age. One of those things that I've learned about myself over the last 33 years is that I don't like musicals. Yeah. You heard me. I don't like them. That can put a girl in a difficult position from time … Continue reading cami kaos goes to a musical… again

In just over an hour the lovely man and I will be heading down the street to our local theater. It's our favorite place for movie viewing (not counting out basement). There we will go where no man has gone before... except all those guys that got to see it before us... that's right! We're … Continue reading this is NOT a test!
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
I’ll be sitting still for 45 minutes…
I've been running around like crazy lately trying to get stuff done. Stuff for her, for him, for them, for it... very little for me. All sorts of stuff really. Errands, tasks, printing, thinking, singing, dancing, losing my voice. Well that last one wasn't on the list of things to do, though it did happen. … Continue reading I’ll be sitting still for 45 minutes…

I realize that Thanksgiving is the time I'm supposed to be thankful for stuff and things and what not, but I can't help it that it's now during the winter holiday that I'm feeling thankful. Never mind the more than 2 feet of snow settled into our yard. Forget that I have to cancel my … Continue reading thankful…
