Posted on December 14, 2011 by Carrie

Posted on December 11, 2011 by Carrie

And I’ve overcompensated for that, I realize now, by making and decorating cookies with the kids (pre-shaped and frozen ginger cookies, but SHUT UP), making their most recent favorite meal (pork chop sandwiches; I don’t try to understand the fascination), … Continue reading →

On a plane

Posted on November 18, 2011 by Carrie

Never done the whole “Go Go” airplane wireless thing before. I’m in the air, somewhere over…oh, who knows. Not Wisconsin anymore, probably, and not yet Maryland. On my way, and on a very uneventful flight, so far. Sam was scared … Continue reading →

Streaking

Posted on November 8, 2011 by Carrie

Probably shouldn’t bother posting tonight, as I’m already in bed, halfway to sleep, and I know I have nothing of worth to say right now, but I’m unwilling to give up my November posting streak. Gabe’s “reluctance” (yes, let’s call … Continue reading →
