For those of you who have been following my blog, you may remember my son, Jack’s, obsession with Halloween. And if you’re not familiar, in a nutshell, the three-year old was unwilling to give up the holiday and refused to admit that Halloween had a beginning and an end. He was angry at grocery stores […]
Anticipation
I realized something about myself recently. I have always considered myself an optimist with a twinge of realism shoved in here and there. I am definitely the type of person who likes to see the good in the world, in people and in the hand I’ve been dealt. Ask anyone who knows me and they’ll […]
Just a Guy in a Suit
It’s been a long winter around here. Although our grounds have yet to (and probably will never)be christened with snow we’ve definitely felt the effects of dark days and rainy nights. For the most part we’ve been homebound and coming up with new ways to play Chutes ‘n Ladders. Have you ever played this game? […]
Half a Haircut
I mentioned yesterday that my dog was suffering from depression due to his ridiculously half-completed haircut. I thought I should explain how this came to pass. Lewis is a Shih-Poo mix (half shih tzu/half poodle…emphasis on the ‘shit’, hehehe). I know, real mature. He has very thick, curly black hair that grows like he’s the […]
Phew…a rough couple of weeks
Some of you may have noticed that I haven’t been posting quite as often as of late. Wait. You haven’ t noticed? Well, that’s embarassing. I used to post five days a week, without fail. And this was no problem for me because I’ve always been a bit…wordy. Yes, that’s what I’d call it. Wordy. […]
A Boy and His First Love
When I gave birth to my little guy I knew he would be a “binkie” baby. How did I know this? Because,I have absolutely no problem with a little bit of ‘forced’ attachment. From the get-go, I stuck that plug in Jack’s mouth at the first sign of trouble. He’d barely manage to squeak out […]
Blueberry Pound Cake with Vanilla Glaze Recipe
Raise your hand if you believe pound cake is a gift straight out of Heaven? Raise your hand if you believe pound cake can brighten even the dreariest of days? Raise your hand if you believe pound cake causes cellulite? I would have to answer with a resounding “Yes!” to all of the above (unfortunately, […]
Reinventing History
I made an interesting discovery a few days ago. I detected a weakness, saw a challenge and then experienced a moment of resigned understanding. Allow me to explain… This weekend I sat chatting with some other first-grade moms during Avery’s basketball game (by the way, still waiting for a basket…at her current rate of skillbuilding […]
The Contents of a Girl’s Purse
My daughter recently discovered that frenzied panic experienced by a woman who has lost something that is oftentimes more important than her car keys, favorite lipstick or (gasp!) most comfortable bra. Her purse. I have made no apologies for my unnatural but ever-so-real infatuation with purses. I always have to be carrying one and covet […]
Giving My Money Away
As some of you may know, I recently went away for a night with my girlfriends, all of us in dire need of a little rest and relaxation. So, naturally, after settling in to our hotel room,we headed out to the nearest casino! I’m really not much of a gambler, in all honesty, but the […]
