And really, that’s all I gots… Okay, I lied. I’ve gots a little more. First of all, someone really likes me! Jen B gave me an ‘I Love The Blog’ award, and since my blog is devoid of bells, whistles, and practically pictures of any sort, I’ve got to say I was tickled beyond measure…. Read More

Just… just watch it, that’s all… (Don’t worry–kid and work friendly!)

*Note–for some reason 1/2 this post got deleted before the first post–I went back and added the first part again, so if you read it in the interim, double check. It makes more sense now!) I really don’t (discuss politics that is) although most of you have figured that I’m sort of rabidly left-wing. (I’m… Read More

I’ll be honest. I’m not used to it. I knew it would be a challenge, because Mate and I are always better at living beyond our means than within them, but I never thought that going on a date with my husband would involve going grocery shopping and then doing the happy dance when it… Read More

For starters, they rented out the local minor-league baseball field and the kiddie bounce houses therein. (There were… Read More

I’m having a terrible time resolving a central issue about Bitter Moon II that I thought I had resolved when I was writing the damned thing. It’s SOOOOOO frustrating–because every time I ponder it, it makes me cry, and then I resolve it, and I cry some more, and then I think about changing it… Read More

Happy Birthday to me… mostly, it really has been. Lots of virtual good wishes, lots of good will–even the students saw my “Happy Birthday Amy Lane” post on the board and said nice things. (I even actually wrote ‘Amy Lane’–and they all knew who that was:-) I’ve been a little tired and a little, ’41…. Read More

Thanks, Knit-tech!!! Your result for The What type of MAN turns you on Test… Classic scorcher You have picked my personal favorite type of man. Yes, man, not boy. The all-American and then some. You admire a buff body and manly features but someone who knows how to bathe himself and even though he’s a… Read More
