I’ve mentioned it before, but every year, our church’s youth have a Dessert Derby. It is the only fundraising they do…and that’s because they don’t need to do more. It’s just that effective. People buy tickets (for both the main Derby or for the Kids’ Derby held concurrently; there’s also nursery care provided), and that [...]

Okay, first I ran just under thirteen miles with running club, the first five of which I did with a very fast runner who (lucky for me, not for him) was recovering from surgeries, so I could keep up. (Until he challenged me to a sprint up a hill. ) Then coffee, with lots of [...]

There was this football thing yesterday. As is my wont, I called my dad and my brother to find out who I was supposed to be cheering for. My brother had no dog in the fight; my dad was cheering for the Saints because he’s from Maryland and there’s still apparently a bit of a [...]

Just something that’s been brewing in my head since I posted a group picture from my high school graduation, and a friend commented how we “thought we [...]

Old Navy is really moving its winter inventory. I was having a crappy evening, and I dropped by to see what was left. Click through to see them individually. Please excuse the utter exhaustion and no makeup. You’ll understand; it’s been one of those days weeks.

Get you one! (It’s aimed at Canadian kids, but if you select “other country,” it stays neutral in the message. Sam and Gabe loved this!)

Go here and take a look at the picture. I’ll wait. Okay, done? Now, tell me, especially those of you who have kids or spend a lot of time around them: what is that? Blueberry Beet Muffin? I might taste one… Heck, yeah! I’m with Gabe. Aliens. View Results Loading … Truthfully, I’d never even [...]

Apropos of absolutely nothing except that I stumbled upon it by chance earlier today and have been obsessing wildly about it ever since, this is opening tonight. Nowhere closer to me than Minneapolis, of course, so I won’t be seeing it yet. Not sure that I really want to, either, but…something keeps me coming back. [...]

I’m feeling really, really happy right now. Of course, last night was full of serious discussion with Sam, whose school had a mock election and who came home on a bus with kids hanging out of every window, shrieking for Obama.
