Saturday evening I spent a most enjoyable time visiting with SrK & J out at their house in the Country. The first line of her directions were “take 35 north FOREVER.” And she wasn’t lying.
They rent this cute littel farmhouse (and outbuildings) for $575 a month and it includes some number of grazing acres where J [...]
Hey dance fans. It’s Sunday, the day I’ve decided to count my blessings. Or at least to publish the list from the week.
So, without further introduction, here’s the list of stuff that made me feel good this week and/or that I’m grateful for.
I know that sentence should have ended "for which I’m grateful" but I [...]
Thursdays the boys spend with their dad. Theoretically.
DS1 came over with The Girlfriend to watch some crazy shark movie (Megalodon?) When questioned it’s because "Dad has a DVD player but it’s hooked up to M&N’s old TV and it’s not that great." OK. Fair enough. Santa brought us that nice (if small for DS1) new [...]
Saw this on the nightly news: (and no, that’s NOT how my new shower looks- but it does look like an interesting way to cool off on those uber hot days)
Found this link for a geeked out way to track my cycles at Everyday Goddess. I’m totally using it.
And yes, I realize that is [...]
Should have used a tripod but it was too beautiful out there to go back and get it. We’ll have to deal with it.

Have I mentioned that I’m reading Anne Lamott’s book "Bird by Bird"? Yeah, it’s a book about writing. And life. And writing.
And for some crazy-assed reason I find myself writing a lot more than usual. Not only for work but it’s like The Great Declutter of ‘08 is trying to knock loose a few stones [...]
Elle and Little Miss O joined me and DS1 for the NE Parade this year. (Appologies to Elle for the Condition of My House. She was so kind and excited to see the finished shower. That’ll teach you! )
Third year in a row that I’m the proud mom of a tuba [...]
I’m feeling a little blue this weekend. Partly because last week was so grueling and I didn’t get to the end of it feeling like I’d won the race at all. In fact, I missed a deadline for one of my "best" internal customers because I was so busy helping out the rest of the [...]
HEY! It’s a series. Who knew?
Anyway, here’s some stuff that made me feel good this week. As usual, no particular order.
I got to sit and watch the Tony awards. Without much interruption. I made myself a nice florentine omlette (steamed spinach, goat cheese, green garlic, eggs…all grown within 150 miles of me) and poured a [...]
I slept late so I don’t have much time for reflection this morning. Maybe this evening.
There’s a delightful young woman to celebrate this afternoon. CE is JE’s daughter and will be going to Luther College in the fall. And there’s a DS2 baseball game. I have to have him there early and I’m planning [...]
