OKay– First thing you’ve got to do is click that video above, because it’s got, like, the theme music I hear whenever I look at this finished project. There. Mood set? There you go. This is chunky alpaca, which means that, yes, I’m ready to wear a cloak to the ice age. Or, well, at… Read More

Okay– not to be harsh, but I’d just written a lovely post about my kids’ recital and all sorts of funny things–it was hard to do, because I’m exhausted and the kids are exhausted, but I think I managed to pull off lots of things to make you all laugh at… I pushed post, and… Read More

Okay, yesterday was my 22nd wedding anniversary– but that’s not what I remember about this time of year. Nope. For the last 14 years, it’s been recital time. I don’t know why I’m so tired–in fact, I feel guilty about being this trashed. My kids were in the performances, or, Chicken’s case, working backstage too,… Read More

I officially caved to laziness today– I couldn’t help it. I took the little kids to the pool yesterday to play after water aerobics, and after two hours, I was WIPED. OUT. Between the allergies/summer cold I’ve got going and the two hours in the sun, about the only thing I was good for when… Read More

Okay–you know my life has gotten REALLY busy when this makes the “Oh yeah, I forgot to mention!” files.

Okay-to recap: My last day in Florida featured breakfast at a drag show (I shit you not) which I didn’t get pictures of because I’m a weenie, and this: It was beautiful and peaceful, and the site of the best kidnapping ever. We had a lovely time–and I never in a thousand years expected to… Read More

Okay– the crappy picture was SO crappy, I’m not even putting it out there. I love the new phone, but the camera, well, not so much. It’s all right. I made it to Orlando perfectly intact after getting an upgrade to first class. God Bless United Airways–that’s seriously all I’ve got to say. I love… Read More

Okay– so Zoomboy has his second grade field trip to Fog Willow this morning. Do I know what Fog Willow is? Not a clue. Do I know he’s been all excited about it? Not a chance in hell I could not. He’s been telling me what to bring and what to wear, what he wants… Read More

Okay– I admit. I finished a couple of big projects and have been enjoying some downtime. It’s not that I’m not working on a project (I’m ALWAYS working on a project–and if not, there’s ALWAYS Quickening) it’s more that I’m more invested in playing with the kids or cuddling or folding laundry. This could be… Read More
