Blame It On The Hoodie?
We are not sporty sorts of people around here. The only pair of sneakers I own have sequins on them for goodness sake. I bought my husband a pair of Vans last summer - they're grey with white laces, and he needed them as an option to wear with linen shorts. (What can I say? He's an elegant … [Read more...]
Simple Song
I really love The Shins.There's a scene from the 2004 movie Garden State, where Natalie Portman's character Sam, and Zach Braff's Andrew Largeman meet in a clinic's waiting room. At one point, she holds out her earphones and says, "You gotta hear this one song, it'll change your life, I swear..." … [Read more...]
For The Taking: Some Finer Points on Shoplifting – Part II
Now, where was I? Riiiiight... the fart. Or rather, the woman I'd seen stuffing something under her clothes earlier was in my line of sight, just across the store from me now. My heart started to pound faster as I looked for the floor manager lady I'd been speaking with before. (This is a … [Read more...]

All the stuff is arranged in an armoire we have in the TV room, all on the middle shelf, which … [Read more...]
These Days
My kids are both off school for March Break this week, and though we haven't planned a whole lot of things to do specifically, just not having to rush around in the morning has got to be one of the sweetest parts, for me.These days, by the time I wake up and head to the kitchen, I tend to see … [Read more...]
My First Boyfriend
I should start out by saying that I am a sane, rational person. Really, I swear I am. (You know, mostly. Just like you.)As a young child, I'd watched re-runs of The Monkees in the mornings, at my babysitter's house, where my sister and I were dropped off around 7 AM each day for a time in our … [Read more...]
Re-Stored
After posting the other day about that desk-thing we created for our kitchen, I received a couple of inquiries about the cabinet parts...On the right, we stashed all the electronics - the stereo components, and the printer, along with cameras and cords and stuff.We had to cut a larger hole in the … [Read more...]
The Gluten-Free Thing.
I may have mentioned here, once or twice, how my husband decided to eliminate gluten from his diet about a year and a half ago. This has, ever since, all but ruined my happy culinary existence. Boo! Hiss!!He did it for digestive reasons, and as a bonus, his blemish-prone skin cleared up, and he now … [Read more...]
