Weird things are happening inside of my head. My dreams are starting to tell me the future in the weirdest ways and it's making me feel, uh, mmmmnnnn, weird? At first, I thought it was coincidence. In order to not be called crazy I might keep thinking that. I dream about someone who I haven't … Continue reading Weird →

I've been thinking about love. Not because Valentines Day is coming up, we all know that day has jack squat to do with love, really. Mostly because I'm watching my daughter suffer a betrayal, a broken heart, a disappointment and temporary loss of her hope, her dreams, herself. I was thinking about the lessons you … Continue reading Love the One You’re With →

You would think, after not writing for so long that I would have gobs to say, wouldn't you? Though I have thought often of writing, I have lacked having something to say. Something worth spending time, currently in short supply, on anyway. If you are reading this I regret to inform you that I still … Continue reading No Deal →

I took a snow day today. Since I'm on vacation this week, anyway, that really just means I stayed in my pajamas all day and did jobs like move all the blue books to the bedroom bookshelf because "blue is a calming color!" ("Kinda weird," J said.), and arrange the rest of the shelves by … Continue reading Welcome →

Today, after we spent a good part of the day cheering for my niece at her dance competition, we decided we needed to get things done. Christmas things. We went to lunch to keep up our strength and then went home and caught the end of the hockey game. I could hardly keep my eyes … Continue reading The Day We Lost Uncle Ted →

Did you guys ever watch the show "King of Queens?" I love that show. It makes me laugh, and it causes J and I talk about things we might not otherwise talk about, because much of it is about marriage. It's also all reruns so I'm a little behind the times. (Like usual!) I don't … Continue reading Wife-ly →

Today I had a violin lesson. I hemmed and hawed about it for a while, mostly because I wanted to go into my lesson and tell my instructor that I wanted her help on an entirely different song than what we've been working on, and I wasn't sure how she would take it. She had … Continue reading Be Careful What You Wish For →

This morning Bunz called his dad crying. When the phone first rang to wake us up, J picked it up and looked at it, and said, "I think it's Bunz calling." "Why aren't you answering it?" I asked. "Because I'm in bed," he answered, even though we both knew there would be no sleeping after … Continue reading The Things We Cannot Change →

The people in what we've come to call "The Gingerbread House" do not have their Christmas lights on. This is a big deal because that's the whole reason we call them The Gingerbread House. Not only is their house painted the exact color of gingerbread but they go all out on the lights so that, … Continue reading Lights Out →

Here I am at the hair salon in the middle of the day like I don't have to work for a living, but it's the only time I could get an appointment before my stylist goes out on maternity leave so you take what you can get. NOT that I am a last minute planner, … Continue reading The Best Laid Plans →
