Tomorrow’s the big day. My brave little guy is going in for surgery. I really haven’t been that concerned about it, honestly. In fact I’ve been so far from concerned that I actually missed his first pre-op appointment and sent our whole schedule into a tailspin that we haven’t fully recovered from. It’s just his […]

My garden is in shambles right now. The ranunclus have all died back, the blooms on the hydrangeas have browned, and the glorious poppy tangle is pretty much over. But I’m still getting the occasional bright red splash, and you can bet money that if there’s a poppy open, there’s going to be a little […]

June 26, 2009
This week has absolutely kicked my trash. Cars broke down, I missed very very very very important appointments, showed up late for other ones, waited around for another appointment that apparently didn’t exist, stressed over projects that are shots in the dark, and basically just let my whole life get completely away from me. Juggling […]

I wish I had a scratch and sniff blog. Because the smell of my studio brings me so much pleasure I’d love to find a way to share it with all of you. I don’t know, some combination of the paper, and the fabric, and the wood furniture…I almost always stop upon entering the room […]

We spent Father’s Day in Orange County with Bear’s family, and we couldn’t call it a fun weekend without tossing everyone in the pool. Atti kept trying to drink the pool water. This little guy is a moleman, just like his mom. Every time we go outside together we both screech like vampires. Get a […]

June 20, 2009
Bear runs a skilled nursing facility, and this is national nurses week, which is a big fat deal in his world. This is his first holiday with this staff, so we wanted to do something good to get off on the right foot. We went to Bath and Body Works this weekend and it happened […]

June 18, 2009
We’ve had more sadness around here for our kitties. Lobo’s been gone for just over a month, and we were really hoping that he’d managed to get one or both of the girls pregnant before we lost him. I discovered he was successful by looking down at Cheetara in the middle of Atti’s therapy and […]

As part of my meal planning/recipe organization project, I’ve been going through all of my collected recipes and seeing which ones work for me. I have a binder full of recipes I want to try, and a journal full of notes on recipes in progress, and once I’ve got something down pat, I add it […]

A dream come true… I’ve never been a baby person, and whenever I would talk with friends about having kids I always used to say that I wish they came out at three years old. That’s when they can talk, and color, and play, and until I had my snuggly little guy, I just never […]

June 15, 2009
Ladies and gentlemen, my son can now officially sit up on his own. A new day has dawned. Now I can take him to Target and not face the struggle of carrying him in my arms while I push a cart, or trying to push a cart and a stroller at the same time, or […]
