Many years from now, some October nineteenth in the future, you may find yourself wanting to hurl yourself into a nearby chair and dramatically proclaim that you’re having the “worst birthday ever!” Not to discount those feelings of that day, but before you make that declaration, I’ll advise you to take into account your […]

New sweater.
Nothing to get excited over; it’s straight off the clearance rack at We’reNotWalmart!-Ko. The t-shirts I bought there in the spring didn’t embarrassingly disintegrate during wear, though, so I’m willing to give the sweaters a try. Not shivering is a priority for me right now; the region is doing that “Cool-warm-COLD, […]

He’s in bed an hour early tonight, ostensibly reading a book, but I’m betting he’ll fall asleep in short order if his cough lets him.
Gabe tried to claim illness, too, just to get the Tylenol.

Yesterday afternoon, Alysia came through town.
This is so hard. On the one hand, we were so thrilled to have them here, and it feels like we were just hanging out yesterday. Saying goodbye at the end of the evening, though, is like having a scab knocked off a wound that is still […]

Oh, this second child of mine!
There’s no doubt at all in my mind that this is a Runner; there’s not even any “Future” to add to that as a prefix. All that needs work is his endurance, since a mile to me is double that to his smaller stride. But […]

Pumpkin!
Sweet!
Savory!
Switch-hits for me!
Bleah.

I’ll give it a “switch-hit” vote based solely on pumpkin soup, which tastes enough like squash soup that it doesn’t set off my “Pumpkin should be sweet!” mental block. Otherwise…yeah, it needs to have brown sugar and cinnamon as its polyamorous lovers. Or something. […]

Every year, people and stores (the former following the latter like docile sheep) crank out the holiday stuff earlier and earlier. Halloween stuff up in August, Thanksgiving in September…somebody I know saw, no lie, Christmas stuff out last month in one store. And it wasn’t one of those “Year-Round Yuletide” stores, either.
I make […]

Ever have one of those days where everything starts going downhill immediately, and even when things start to improve, you feel like you’re only just scrambling to climb out of the pit into which you’ve fallen?
I was grouchy when I woke, since the last few hours of sleep were spotty; Gabe screamed me awake, having […]

I’d say, “Don’t ask me how I did it,” but I’m well aware of how. Starting off a race way too fast, and knowing it, and deciding, “Ah, what the heck; it’s only a 5K!” may be a recipe for a personal best time, but it’s also a good way to get a stitch […]

Tuesday is Eric’s birthday, but he’ll be away on a work trip. We’re celebrating today instead! Both boys are hard at work on presents for him; meanwhile, he’s out enjoying a leisurely bike ride in the sunshine. When he gets back, we’re going to go out and celebrate, including a trip to […]
