Conversations with a 6-year-old

April 26, 2011

With my youngest being nearly 7, I think it’s starting to hit me how precious and fleeting innocent little-kid conversations are, before they start to censor their thoughts and words. I find myself trying to draw out these conversations and linger on them as much as I can before they mature and change, from innocent [...]

Countdown to 40: T-Minus 44 Weeks

April 19, 2011

So, that’s it. I’ve officially thrown in the towel and succumbed to old age. That’s right, people, the deed has been done and I feel that I must confess . . . I wore commuter sneakers today to work. Yep, I was professional from the ankles up, but from the ankles down, I was pure [...]

I Hate April Fool’s Day

April 1, 2011

I would start this post out with a hearty, “April Fool’s Day!!!”… but as you can see by the title, I hate April 1. Really, who thought up this day where people go around tricking other people, getting them all worked up, their heart pounding and sweat pouring out of every pore, and then saying, [...]

Liz Lemon and Me — Full Circle

March 30, 2011

Well, it’s finally happened, folks. Liz and I have officially come full circle. It all started this morning, on a particularly chilly end-of-March walk to work. Of course, it was made even chillier due to the fact that when I pulled into my parking lot, not one space was empty, which then forced me to [...]

Countdown to 40: T-Minus 51 weeks

March 4, 2011

Last week I turned 39. THIRTY-NINE. To me, that just sounds old. Darn old. Now, please don’t take offense if YOU are 39 or older. It doesn’t sound old on you, just me. Maybe that’s because I can read my own thoughts, and my thoughts are not those of an almost-40-something. In fact, most of [...]

Cat butts and whatnot

March 2, 2011

It’s really hard to write a post with a cat’s butt in your face. Normally I don’t have such issues, as Husband is allergic to cats, but this morning I am at my sister-in-law’s house, as she is admittedly on her way to becoming “the cat lady” (minus the spinster lifestyle since she’s married with [...]

A birthday party match made in heaven

February 22, 2011

Princess the Alligator. She has very soft hands — really! One of the volunteers kissed her on the mouth. I’m so not kidding. Snakes and iguanas and alligators, oh my! Boy #2′s birthday was January 26, but true to my nature, I failed to schedule his party within the same week — or even month [...]
