Five Years

Sunday, July 31st, 2011

Five years. Last week, though (like the bad little blogger I’ve been lately) I only just realized, marked five years for me as a blogger. Reflecting on that time, both upon blogging and the content on which I write, I’ve experienced quite a bit of Life over those years… I fell in love. And out [...]

Catching My Breath

Thursday, June 9th, 2011

Yesterday afternoon, I realized I had put on and was wearing my underwear inside out…for the second time this week. To say I’m a bit distracted, a bit stressed, even a bit overwhelmed might come close to describing the tornado of activity and change I’ve experienced in the past two months. Might. Packing, packing, and more packing of [...]

Quick, Before This Applies to 2012: HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Monday, February 7th, 2011

So uh…it’s been a while. Unintentionally, of course. The thing is, sometimes I get busy with things like deciding which jammies to wear next, napping on the couch with Mantracker on the Science channel in the background (seriously addicted), throwing in the towel and reading only the cartoon captions from my backlog of The New Yorker issues, and ordering [...]

Susannah’s done so, and, if you’ll indulge me, I’d like to do the same. In particular, I’m trotting out the following (and bending the [...]

Taking Stock

Friday, June 4th, 2010

Tomorrow, I turn 30. 3-0. As in the age that I thought at the beginning of my twenties I’d be married and be done having all the kids I planned to have. Beyond that I hadn’t invested much thought. It was my small town mentality at work, my “worldview” as you could call it. And, [...]

L’art Pour L’art

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010

I’m a person prone to questioning things, prone to doubt. In fact, I question everything, including myself. It’s just the way I am, the way I’ve always been. Except where blogging is concerned. When I began blogging nearly four years ago, I didn’t really “think it through.” I had no grand plans or ideas about [...]
