sooper-quick bra review
So while I was pregnant, the Freya Millie -- my go-to workhorse daily wear bra when NOT pregnant -- was discontinued. I've been questing after a replacement, reading every large-cup bra review site there is, poking around in Bratabase, analyzing what did and didn't work for me about the Millie's fit and shape...yeah, it's a project, when your ( Read more... ) -
half-marathon
So on Sunday, I ran (well, limped, more on that in a moment) a half-marathon. I trained for it with thwomp and when the one we were originally signed up for was canceled, we registered for the Erie Half-Marathon instead. I am a slow runner at the best of times, and Erie was...not my best of times ( Read more... ) -
PSA: for people who don't like dogs
This is inspired by a comment on Captain Awkward from someone who didn't care for dogs, but who assumed that dog owners LIKE jumpy dogs and think jumpy dogs are great, and that ( Read more... ) -

White people: still scared of the Wampanoag after 400 years
So on this road trip we went to Plimouth Plantation and part of it is the Wampanoag Homesite, which is a recreation of the family homestead of the guy who was, essentially, the Wampanoag ambassador to the English. It is staffed entirely by Native people* (most of the ones I spoke to were Wampanoag, but one woman was not) who, unlike the role- ( Read more... ) -
MS Walk

to tumbl or not to tumbl
I wonder if I want a tumblr, but I hear that it is hard to navigate your own stuff on those. I'd mostly use it for RL projects -- things like process notes/pics for my garden, occasional snaps of my kids, that kind of thing. It would be fairly important to be able to see everything tagged "garden" or "family" without jumping through a zillion ( Read more... ) -

Hey local women ( Read more... ) -
how do you grow?
I've been finally really really for real writing out the plans for my garden. I have drafts of various beds taped to the wall of my pantry now, and a final plan for Bed A. Bed A is really two beds (plus a third, but the third does not count because it is very simple: it has a maple tree in it, and I'm underplanting that with blue hosta and that is ( Read more... ) -
Delaware Water Gap
On our way back from vacation, we stopped in Matamoras, PA, and stayed in The Cleanest Hampton Inn Ever. (Seriously. It was extremely clean, and I've paid more for much worse rooms many a time. Hampton Inns needs to give these folks some awards.)
We chose that location so that we could go to Dingman's Falls, in the Delaware Water Gap National ( Read more... )
