That’s right, I just disappear for months at a time, galavanting around who knows where, and then show up and write a copy and paste tag style entry without so much as a how do you do. #sorrynotsorry Outside my window it’s cooler than yesterday and threatening to rain. We’ve been doing that rotation ofContinue reading “Day book | July 7, 2021”

MY WORD FOR THE YEAR: BLOOM
Truthfully, I find the whole “word of the year” thing a little hokey. New Years Resolutions are made to be broken – a whole year is too long to commit to in normal times, nevermind in the middle of a never-ending pandemic. I’m going to change 800 times between now and next December, as willContinue reading “MY WORD FOR THE YEAR: BLOOM”
counting my blessings in 2020
It’s pretty easy to wallop on this year and list the myriad of things that have gone wrong or changed or thrown us for a loop. All you have to say is 2020 and I think we all collectively groan and grumble about quarantine, politics, social media, curves that need flattening, and the isolation andContinue reading “counting my blessings in 2020”
The Proust Questionnaire
I was reading an old post on Cup of Jo about the Proust Questionnaire that Vanity Fair uses to interview celebrities like Tina Fey and Ina Garten.

We’re still grilling dinner more nights than not, staying up late reading books, playing a TON of video games, watchingContinue reading “It’s August. | Life update 8.07.20”
Before and After. Thoughts on life before quarantine and “new normals”
People keep talking about the new normal we’re going to have to adjust to when things start to open back up. I have mixed feelings about this phrase because I have mixed feelings about what life in quarantine has been like. The things I will miss and the things I won’t miss if and whenContinue reading “Before and After. Thoughts on life before quarantine and “new normals””
3 Good Things for February 7th
A couple of years ago my kids and I started sharing three good things about our day before bed each night. It started as a way to help prevent negative dwelling on all the little things but has turned into a beloved bedtime tradition in our house. Each kid shares with me (1) something theyContinue reading “3 Good Things for February 7th”
Learning Something New.
Earlier last month I got the urge to pull out my watercolor brush markers again. I started playing with various watercolor markers and pencils, etc. this year and mostly found myself annoyed with it not looking how I saw the pictures in my head. Either there was too much water or not enough – theContinue reading “Learning Something New.”
5 Recent Instagram Posts, Now With Full Stories.
I really didn’t mean to go so long without posting anything other than the occasional tag. It seems like life is determined to keep me busy – not with anything necessarily bad or strange, just life stuff. Before I get sucked into the Time Vortex again, here are some thing I forgot to tell youContinue reading “5 Recent Instagram Posts, Now With Full Stories.”
