Nothing for you to read lately, that is. Husband still has no job although I did spend the last day and a half writing an entirely new resumé* from scratch (A pain! There needs to be some sort of employment thesaurus that only lists words like “productivity” and “problem solver”). I installed my new kitchen […]
I always tear up a little when the kids walk out the front door on the first day of school. I fix a nice breakfast to mark the specialness of the first day. This year we ate yogurt and left-over Texas Sheet Cake. I forgot to buy bread, so the sandwiches for their lunches? […]
This is your last day to get your oats! (Unless you shop on Sunday; in which case you probably wouldn’t really be too concerned about the whole food storage thing.) Don’t put this off til next week! You’ll be sorry if you do! (I’m pretty much the queen of procrastination and it really never pays […]

We had cousins from Mister’s family here last week. You couldn’t pick a more diverse-looking group of children. Here we have York, India and Jane. Jane is about a foot taller than York even though she’s a few months younger (India is both the oldest and the shortest). Jane hates being the tallest person in […]

Like most teenagers growing up I thought that cities were The Best. There could be nothing better in the world than being surrounded by culture and coolness 24 hours a day. Maybe I figured that if cities were amazing, then I must also be amazing by virtue of living in one. (But if you walk […]
We’re have a super gigantic Thanksgiving this year with all of Mister’s family. His dad’s got a big birthday coming up during the season so we’ll all be gathering to pay homage. I was asked to provide the birthday cake, two pies and sweet potatoes. Wait . . . what? I don’t know how to […]
I’ve done it again. I’ve managed to lose something important. I don’t know how I can misplace every receipt that I MUST keep, but I have a whole purse filled with receipts from buying Mountain Dews at the 7-11. As of last month I am the owner of a 24×30 print of an ugly tree […]
Last weekend was India’s first prom. Strangely this has never been a moment I’ve thought much about as I’ve raised my daughters. Probably because I never had a boyfriend (or a date for that matter) in high school so the Prom was always a source of anxiety and frustration rather than excitement. But India is […]
