I have been so busy at work, which has been leaving me little time to write here. A travesty, I know! I don't really mind being busy at work, though. The days fly by a lot faster, and before I know it, I'm back at home preparing for a nice evening with friends or with Kevin or both. Life is good ( Read more... )

This morning on my walk to the subway, I was thinking what a beautiful thing it is to make that 25 minute passage every morning. I see so many things, smell so many things, think so many odd thoughts. Let's take a moment to reflect on the highlights of a typical walk to the T stop at 7:30 am, shall we ( Read more... )

Last night I had a bad dream. It lasted all night, even after I woke up for about a half hour (to cough and cough and cough, of course--all those worried, I've got a doctor's appointment tomorrow--I'll let you know what she says).

There's absolutely nothing to say about my life right now ( Read more... )

So I do not have enough time to finish my tribute to my family. It will have to wait for another day I guess ( Read more... )

So sad. They think through a monthly treatment she will live a lot longer, but she still may not live much more than ( Read more... )

I have been thinking about my family a lot lately. What a great bunch we are, even if we have our moments of total and complete meltdown. I think the bottom line for all of us is that we really do find each other cool and fascinating. And totally worth the trouble.

Let me introduce the members of my immediate family.

My MomShe grew up in the ( Read more... )

It's Monday. Usually Mondays are difficult for me. I just have so much trouble getting out of bed, after two weekend mornings where I don't even pretend to open my eyes until at least 9:00 am. The shock of getting up at 7 am or earlier is too much for me ( Read more... )

So I gave into my urges to be a kid again, and to have a really great way to veg out on the couch both now and when I'm a grad student, and to spend up that Christmas money I've been sitting on like it's an egg or something, and we went to Best Buy. And purchased a Playstation 2 ( Read more... )

It's the time of daffodils and crocuses. My favorite time. I wish I had a yard. If I had a yard, it would really solve all of my problems. I'd be able to plant a garden, which I've never ever done before. I'd be able to get a puppy (or two), which I know is a big responsibility, but I really think I'm ready for it ( Read more... )
