NE Parade 2008

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 [...]

With a little help from a friend

This is now sitting in my garage. (well, one just like it anyway)

The trip from the dealership to the house will be one of those stories told over beers for years to come. And then we drove back out to where my friend’s car was parked (near the workplace) went to dinner and then each [...]

Getting better about asking

Well, I don’t know if this is actually better, but at least it’s more proactive than not doing anything.
Sent this email out tonight to about a dozen folks. We’ll see.

RE: Extreme Makeover: Garage Edition
OK friends, I find this a bit harder to do than it should be, but I need to ask for some help.
Last [...]

Live is harder than Memorex

The intonation isn’t the best I’ve heard from these guys. But in their defense, it was 10 am. If pictures are worth a thousand words, The Sound is worth at least that much. Can’t get it (the sound) from the pages of a magazine, you know.

1000 words

Or at least 1000 posts.
I know. I’m all about the milestones.
Today marks my 1000th post on this here little experiment. Of course, that counts even the lame ones (like this, this, this and this to point you to just a few examples of my ability to be lame.) (Note: this list is NOT exhaustive.)
Sometimes I [...]

The Journey continues

There’s a lot of talk today about journeys and process.
Today is the beginning of the Christian season of Lent, a time to reflect on one’s spiritual life and to remember the whole death and resurrection part of the Jesus’ story.
Today there are large groups of people (campaign workers and candidates) who thought maybe possibly last [...]

The one where I’m interviewed

Remember Neil’s big experiment? Where every blogger is somebody and there’s a big interview virus making it’s way around the blogosphere? Well, I really lucked out. Palinode used to interview people for a living. The questions were a little silly, but there were also some “big questions” mixed in. The interview is up over at [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I heart you all!

Work is, as I predicted, S.L.O.W.
So I had time to call around and find a new ride for tomorrow (JRM, another nurse friend — I seem to know a lot of nurses.) And time to get a couple of people to sign as witnesses to my signature of a health care directive (because I had [...]
