It’s just cabin fever….it’ll go away

Oh friends. My brain has been addled with all sorts of tomfoolery these last several days (and weeks.)
I’m staring down the barrel of a cannon’s worth of activity: TWO jobs, plus single parenting, plus Mr. Hockey; and all I can think of is adding more into the mix. What’s up with that??
I am desperately wanting [...]

Interview: Ash in Amsterdam

Here it is folks! My contribution to Neil’s Great Interview Experiment. I was lucky enough to have Ash in Amsterdam leave a comment right after my comment and so, I got to interview her!
I obsessed a bit about how to proceed (you’re shocked. I know.) And in the end, I decided a more “organic” method [...]

Potato Leek Soup

cross posted at Accidental Hedonist.
This is my own recipe. It’s very simple and has subtle flavors. I made this last Sunday afternoon. AB (my friend on chemo) says it’s good too.
2 leeks. Cleaned and sliced into half moons. Include some of the greens if they look OK.
5 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, washed but leave skins [...]

It’s official!

The annual meeting went well.
The internship was a non-issue. So I guess I start on Friday!
Now the adventure (and the madness, I suppose) really begins.

Sunday the 27th

Below is a very random, stream of consciousness. I just need to get this down and out of my head.
Today feels unsettled. Like I’ve come to the end of a chapter. But for the life of me, I can’t figure out what is ending or what could make me feel like it is ending. If [...]

The unbelievable sweetness of life

Today’s Photo Scavenger word is “Sweet.” Chosen by me
Edit: I almost forgot! I need to tag the next person to choose a word. Cricket, how about you?
I don’t know what I was thinking when I chose the word, but the week has provided ample opportunity to reflect on the sweetness of my [...]

for Misss Eliza

I had my very first ever “meet a blogger live and in person” today. Miss Eliza and I had coffee. (cue: dramatic music)
I must say she is an amazing woman. Smart, articulate, compassionate. Good mom, loving wife, good friend and daughter. She works as a teacher’s aid in a special education classroom (which is hard [...]

narrowing it down

I was not impressed with the slap-down at the democratic debate. I was disappointed in both Obama and Clinton for engaging is such bullshit. That’s right. I said bullshit.
Is it possible that Edwards really is interested in economic justice? If so, my Feb 5 decision would be made easier.

thinking is hard work

still mulling over interview questions for Ash. (Everyone will be disappointed by how lame they’ll turn out to be given the amount of angst I’m putting in here. Oh well.)
In the meantime, enjoy a little medical quiz thingy.

interviewing

Neil is hosting organizing a chain interview of bloggers. I’m in. I’m supposed to interview Ash in Amsterdam. And I’m going to be interviewed by Palinode.
All this is supposed to be done this week, but I suspect, that like me, most of us are crashing on the deadline.
Just to let the cosmos (and Neil) know [...]
