Okay–so we’re at November now, and I’m not sure how to deal. It’s the eleventh month of… well, I don’t want to talk about 2017 right now. I’m just really glad it hasn’t been worse and my nearest and dearest are doing okay and we are all here to celebrate another Kermit Flail. Zoom boy’s… Read More

 So, Wave Crash is complete. But, most of you probably don’t know it as Wave Crash anymore–it was re-christened The Ugly Shawl (but only I could call it that) a while back, and I should probably not call it that because I still love it. I chose every color because it reminded me of the… Read More

Dear family– I’m sorry. Yes, I am aware that the evil broccoli is evil, and has always been evil, and yet I still persist in trying to sneak it into your food. Last night was an abomination. I don’t know what I was thinking. Yes, I know the teriyaki chili sauce is very tasty on… Read More

Geoffie is concerned about where the weekend went. So… Friday, Squish, Chicken, Big T, Mate, and I, all went to see ZoomBoy’s play. The play itself was You Can’t Take it With You, and for the record, if you are curious about this George Kaufman creation, DON’T watch the Frank Capra film with Lionel Barrymore… Read More

Yeah. The title says it all. Okay– so I get into the hot tub which is usually my happy place, right?  And usually, since I get to class late and then stay and try to make the time up, I’m alone, but not this time. This time, I get there in time to hear an… Read More

Seriously– ZoomBoy is doing the play, Squish had dance, I worked out and Chicken came over to do laundry. Busy–but bittersweet too.

So, ZoomBoy is in drama this year, and he tried out for the school play. He got a small part–ten words, two lines–but you know what? No kid has EVER been more excited to be a part of the drama club. He’s had long, long days for the past week– lots of late nights and… Read More
