I had a rather strange and upsetting weekend, which I am not going to talk about except to say that my role as School Council/ Parent Association Chair is priming me for a career in diplomatic relations. Or perhaps, given my experiences of this weekend, I can now apply for a job as a very, very low-stakes […]
You’re going down, bitch.
December 27, 2012 by
Well hello, my friends. I hope you have been making merry in the past few days. It has been so frigidly cold here, but I’m kind of glad – it gives me an excuse to be extremely lazy and slothful. Kids in their jammies into the afternoon? Well, why not? We’re not going anywhere in this […]
Full Moon, and the Werewolves (of London) are coming
November 29, 2012 by
For those of you who keep track of moon phases, which may or may not be many people, there was a full moon on Wednesday. For me, a full moon means no yoga – it’s tradition to not practice on full or new moon days – which translates to extra sleep. For some, however, it means that the Wolfman […]

Hot Carl
November 5, 2012 by
Twice a year I find myself commenting that I am in awe that we, as a society, still deal with such an antiquated notion as Daylight Savings Time, and twice a year my husband tells me that I am starting to sound crazy when I launch a diatribe against it. And yet, although my children are […]
In which I reveal myself as a snob and a lunatic, all at the same time
October 15, 2012 by
I had the most productive weekend! Shit got DONE around here. I had a number of things on my to-do list and every one of them was accomplished, even down to the “putting photos in albums” task. For reasons that I do not comprehend, I find putting photos in albums to be one of the […]
