Memories of summer

Summers now are a chance for me to watch my sons run through the sprinkler, the bees buzzing around my herb garden and the dogs chasing squirrels on the powerline above our fence. Continue reading »

Bizarro Spring

I hope this summer to find time to really learn Premier Pro and maybe put together something consistent enough to become a webcast. Seems like citizen journalism and audience content are really taking off right now so the time is right to get my act together. I’m really excited about it, but today I’d give anything to be able to ride my bike. Continue reading »

Hump Day Can Be Pretty, Too!

Things are looking up today. Both of the kids battled a nasty stomach flu this past weekend, and between Saturday night’s isolated regurgitation and Tuesday mornings marathon puking… I’m done cleaning up other peoples stomach contents for quite a while, thank you. Fortunately, both boys recovered within 24 hours of the stomach cramping and otherwise … Continue reading »

My Photoblog is up!

I have created a second blog specifically for my photography. That photography which does not suck as much in my own mind, and therefore deserves to be shown all over the internet. Continue reading »

Back to the Present

During this morning’s writing exercise Charlie infiltrated the linen closet and found the baby powder and lotion. The powder was closed, fortunately, and too difficult for his little hands to open. The lotion on the other hand, was deposited in small gobs all over the house. Continue reading »

House of Diamond

Seriously, I know this will eventually amuse me… but I don’t know if my heart can stand it anymore. I need a vacation from this crap. Continue reading »

House of Diamond

Status as of Wednesday night: most of the beads have been grabbed up by the hand ful -now I’m working about one square foot at a time picking the tiny glass beads out of the carpet fibers with my fingernails. Continue reading »

Feast or Famine

I just cannot seem to have any sort of stability in my life… and that’s probably the thing I’d love the most right now. Money’s tight again, and we’re playing the fun “should I answer it or not” game with bill collectors and our “new” mortgage company. Ever since our bank was bought out and … Continue reading »

Happy Halloween Do-Over!

Wow, I got a crazy workout yesterday. I’ve been lamenting the last few weeks that I’ve gained weight instead of losing it -go figure, I stop excersizing and gain weight! The weather had been crappy, everybody in the house had been sick for some interval, and my motivation levels were way down. I pulled out … Continue reading »

Autumn Changes Everything

I know I’m not petite, ok? But I have given birth to two children and dammit I’m voluptuous! Continue reading »

Full Moon Blessings

I spent some time in a ritual space yesterday, and it felt really good to get back. I felt as if I had been away a long time from the spiritual part of my life. The experience left me with some ideas to ponder, and also reminded me that if we do lose the house … Continue reading »

Wasting time on Facebook?

Greetings From Florida!

So when things were going terribly for me, he (Adam) swept in and gave me a little vacation. Continue reading »

How To Be Broke- and still get by

I got this glorious hall of sustenance for the week and still managed to stay $5 under budget. Of course, I forgot drinks for Bastian’s sack lunches -but I can get those and we’re still good.

This leads me to the next installment of my latest idea to help assuage the horrors of bein’ broke. Continue reading »

Write. Write? RIGHT!

I feel the need to write lately. Not just the usual “Oh my god I can’t wait to post a journal entry about this experience” or “I’m gonna Tweet this right now so people know it’s happening” kind of feeling. This is more like the  “I’ve always wanted this and always known I was capable … Continue reading »
