How have you been? I’ve been away. I just spent a week with my in-laws, and I ONLY have nice things to say. We had fabulous weather, we had lots of fun, and I discovered something about myself: I am naturally a rigid and rule-oriented person (this is not part of my self-discovery; I knew that already) but with […]
Olympic Fever, sort of
July 28, 2012 by 5 Comments
One of the things I love most about blogging is how much I learn. My mind is expanding. I mean, really, who knew about modesty socks or fake cigarettes? WHO KNEW? I am enlightened. I am also confused because a very androgynous cashier called me “sir” today. I’m not sure why. I don’t think I […]

So far, it has been a very strange day. I will say that, although I am very happy at the hard working contractors and their willingness to put in extra time to get the job done (GIT ER DUN), I am starting to get very TIRED of having people in the house all the time. […]

I also cannot say – or listen to – the words “Here’s the situation” without mentally rapping the entire second half […]

“Oh, you’re the worst kind. You’re high maintenance, but you think you’re low maintenance.” – Harry Burns, and/or my husband. Every day, I set out two sets of clothing for the following day: my yoga clothes, and my regular clothes. I need to set out my yoga clothes in order to dress quietly and sneak […]

The past few days have been unseasonably warm, record-breaking warm, and yet yesterday at 5:30 pm – one hour before the first soccer practice of the season – the sky grew black and the rain started to pour. It was, as always, a festive start to the season. The practice was held in the rain, […]
