I just spent way too much time looking through the information superhighway. Geez! What a time suck. It felt good, tho. I have been away from my little laptop all day, and now here we meet again. Was able to write a post for my food blog after 15 days due to time and computer [...]

Dreams

I had a dream yesterday morning and it has stayed with me today — full-time, well off, nationally and internationally appreciated artist. I know, I know, it is not a realistic dream, but you can’t control your dreams, you can just have them and then become obsessed with them as I have here. Maybe the [...]

Again, sorry about the delay (sorry, Alix, especially) in writing. Somehow my daughters, at least Beenie, has gotten the idea that she does not need to take naps any longer, which you and I know is total crap, so my precious naptime/alone time has been compromised. I believe this has to do with a number [...]
Rachel v. Sarah

Sounds like a throw-down of biblical proportions, no?
The Sarah I’m referring to, is of course, Sarah Palin, the current Vice Presidential nominee for the Republican Party. Are there any other Sarahs right now? That anyone is talking about in the media? Nope. Not that I know about anyways. The Sarah Palin who is presenting herself [...]
Home Office

Here I sit in my home office (aka my kitchen table), flanked by sticky plastic plates of cold scrambled egg chunks and bite-sized pieces of peanut butter and honey toast. My left arm aches from the flu shot I got this morning at the girls’ pediatrician’s office. We went for their two year old checkup. [...]
Cup of Coffee, II

Cup of coffee #1 was this morning. It is 3:15 p.m. now and the girls are entering their second hour of nap. I am writing to you from my laptop, which has been out of commission for the past two or three weeks. The amount of time is unimportant, tho. Lots and nothing has happened. [...]

I have a small shred of hope that tomorrow my laptop will come home. I have so much to tell you. This time away has be revelatory and torturous. As are most days. Also I will have my recovered images back, which is how I decide what to write on occasion. Pictures are so very [...]
Soon, amour. Soon…

Hopefully this week I’ll have my little black laptop, my secret special friend and link to the outside world. I miss you, you devil you. I miss your soft blue glow. Your smooth typing, your track pad. I ache for the quiet hours of wasted internet surfing you provided me for a glorious year before [...]
More Imageless Words

I know. Sorry I’m not able to blog the way I like to, every day, every few days. But my frackin’ pooter is on the fritz. My bro managed to salvage everything on my burnt hard drive — ONE YEAR OLD HARD DRIVE — no thanks to apple computers, by the way. They handed me [...]
Quickie

Have I used that title before? Probably. I rarely have an original idea.
Things have been chugging alone in my little world. Lots of events, many new venues to schlep the ladies to. A few recent biting incidents (nothing to be at all happy about). Mostly positive. Mostly affirming my hard work at giving my favorite [...]
