Golden Double Stuff Oreos photo

I have a few tricks to remember stories for my blog. I leave voice memos, write myself notes and take pictures. The voice memos are the most helpful because I pretty much transcribe them to blog form, but the photos are the most fun. Mostly because I have no idea what I was trying to [...]

Have a fantastic Christmas if you celebrate. If you don’t, enjoy the movies and Chinese food and free cookies from all the people who assume you do. And all of you should watch our ridiculous holiday singing video with love from my family to yours. It’s safe for work, kids and any time you need [...]

Go to Bed To-do List photo

The daily-ness of life is not exactly my strength.  I didn’t learn how to cook until my 20s, and my readers taught me how to make pancakes and coffee last year.  I’m still impressed with myself when I shower three times in a week, and each night as I glance at the kitchen sink, I [...]

No More Rainbows Cat photo

I think that the middle one is my favorite, but it’s a tough call … Also, I have not idea why I’m on a cat kick. Wait, actually I do: My Plan A was to be a crazy cat lady, but Scott showed up and added wife to the “crazy cat” part. Thanks to Jennifer Whitt [...]

Kissing my iPhone

Remember how I made fun of Twitter last week? That was hilarious, but it got me thinking. {shudder} I’ve been pondering my social media time; not like when I threatened to leave Twitter and became a silent and boring stalker, but I might be a touch overly attached to the Internet. Here’s what I committed [...]

Writing about the darkness helped. Reading your comments here and in secret Facebook messages and on the Twitter helped. Finding this picture of my daughter helped. Taking a picture of my hat-stealing husband as he flexed and said: How can you be depressed when you’ve got a guy like me? helped.  Following it up with [...]

I head to the park to meet a potential client because parks are more child-friendly than board rooms with all those pesky TABLES that get in the way of leather wheel-y chair races. And as I happen upon the perfect meeting-space/picnic-table-in-the-shade, I notice a squirrel.  An evil squirrel.  How do I know he is evil? [...]
