Unbroken

You never said it, you didn’t really ever say anything, but you didn’t think I was worth the effort. And I almost believed you were right. You thought the shine was gone from me and I wasn’t exciting or new or out of the ordinary. And I almost believed you were right. You thought everything […]

Dear Webster’s

I am finding that there are a few words lacking in your current edition. I respectfully submit the following for inclusion in the 2015 version. Excitened – the state where you are both excited and terrified by something Teening – acting like a teenager when you are not one Clish – wanting to be more […]

A Day in the Life

“To everything, there is a season.” This is apparently my season of figuring out how to clone myself. This picture -> is an actual page from our family calendar.  Looking at it freaks me right the heck out. So much drama. I mean literally, both kids are participating in the drama clubs at their respective […]

Dear Me

January 29, 2005 Hey girl, It’s me. I mean it’s you – coming at you from 10 years in the future. Freaky, right? I just wanted to check in and let you know in a vague way with no clear spoiler alerts what the future holds for you, my dear. I know you think you […]

Well that didn’t turn out as planned…

Just about this time last year I had a great idea for a series of blog posts. I had been all single girl, girl power, makingitonmyownjustfinethankyouverymuch for quite a while, and the question on the tip of everyone’s tongue was, annoyingly enough, “So, are you dating?” So I thought to myself, I shall sign up […]

Love to a Stranger

At the risk of sounding like an enormous sap, I am a big fan of love. All kinds. The mom kind. The friend kind. The get-over-here-and-lay-a-big-wet-one-on-me kind. The old-folks-holding-hands kind. Even the fur-covered kind. I am also a little too cynical, realistic, and practical to run around spouting sunshine and rainbows.  I also, as a […]

Decades

Quick update – I promised (you, but mostly myself) that I would write something once a week (and here we are), cook 2 times a week, and go to yoga. Well…this part is going well (hi!)  And I was in a cooking frenzy during week one – cookies, muffins, brownies, soup, and chicken.  This week […]

I don’t know where I’m going to live…

…don’t know if I’ll find a place.  I have to think about it some. This I do not wish to face.” – Matthew Sweet, Divine Intervention I love lyrics. When you listen to a song and somehow the lyrics mirror the exact situation that you are in it’s like some sort of Divine Intervention, indeed. […]

Harvard Club

Hanging with the Hah-vahd Crowd

#426: Staying at the Harvard Club I strangely do not know even one person who went to Harvard. Correction, I know one person, a former boss who barely acknowledged my existence for about four years.  Four years during which I was frequently pretending to BE him (because it was my job, not because I am […]

Blatant Self-Promotion

This is me at Project: Underblog. Which you know if you’ve been around here.  But still – it is! I am one of their #31days31voices.  I am a VOICE I tell you! This is also me pretending I am a food blogger.  Although I am not. And now I am hungry because I posted all […]
