A change in direction
No, I don't post. Very few of you post anymore, either.
But after AoIR, I find myself drawn to more long-form writing again. I think, though, that it's time for me to move on from doing that writing in this space. Any writing that needs screening is happening the old-fashioned pen-and-paper way anyway.
And so I present "at the fulcrum".

It's July so it must be spring in Buffalo
We have an explosion of baby animals!- Yesterday morning I spied a fledgling robin hopping around between our house and the neighbor's.
- Yesterday afternoon I heard a very suspicious peeping racket coming from the cherry tree. And I had seen a male cardinal around a lot lately, hectoring the cat through the living room window. About 30 seconds of ( Read more... )

You are smarter than I am at rhymes, I'm sure of it.
So here's the deal. I'm buying laundry baskets as baby/big sibling presents. These baskets are explicitly NOT TO BE USED FOR LAUNDRY. They are for all the OTHER things that kids do with laundry baskets. To that end, I plan to pen a little poem inside each basket. Here's what I have so far, and I'd love suggestions. Stanzas are unlimited, I suppose ( Read more... ) -
Here, have some bullet points.
- I went and got sucked into Pinterest.
- TRex is now officially a third grader.
- And a crazy toothless softball player.
- The time elapsed between those two pictures was approximately 12 hours. The giant hole in her mouth was not there in the first picture. That's right, she marked the last day of 2nd grade by finally losing that last front tooth.
- We have a ( Read more... )

[FBxPost] And cooler heads prevailed. Thankfully.
I gotta say... I'm happy that I am generally surrounded by sensible people. Two examples, both from the kiddo's softball game Wednesday evening.

Kid. Toy gun. Not just any toy gun. Black toy gun with tiny orange tip so maybe from close up you can't tell it's ( Read more... ) -
in which I prove that I am alive
Mothers' Day. Went out last night with 8 other gals while M took TRex out to dinner. Kiddo had religious school this morning, then we went out to lunch and then to the nursery to get our plants. And then... many hours in the garden.
In the veggie patch: sugar snaps, brussels spouts, cherry tomatoes, butternut squash, zucchini, cucumbers, dill, ( Read more... ) -
Theory: If I pester you less, you will give the March of Dimes more money.
For the very few of you who either didn't get my email yesterday or who aren't friends with me on Facebook... it's March for Babies time again!
Remember this little chicken creature?

Purple army guys defeat heavily-accented bee! Film at 11...
Have I posted about the ongoing saga of do I actually have allergies/asthma? Last year my PCP (the one I loved... who has moved... SIGH) referred me to an allergist. He has concluded that I don't have asthma and that the random airway constrictions that I experience are reflux-related (though I have no other signs of reflux unless I eat like crap/ ( Read more... ) -

Oh, how the Curly have fallen...
Longtime readers may remember that I stopped using shampoo on my hair, after reading this book, about the time that I started this blog. My regime of lots of conditioner and the occasional lemon juice wash or baking soda/conditioner paste scalp scrub worked for eight year. Lately, though, things started going downhill. I was having to scrub more ( Read more... )
