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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
I may have mentioned this before, but I am a big fan of the whole “love” thing. Everyone should have some. Ideally lots. I am a little worried however, about the KIND of “love” that modern society is celebrating, especially for the young folks out there. How is any of this painting a pretty picture of […]
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.

Everything critical to blizzard survival was already in stock. Snow melts, I figured. Surely I could just wait it out. But then I looked […]
No. No I really don’t. And no, I’m not going to start dating. Possibly ever. I am really very firmly in the “…like a fish needs a bicycle” mindset at the moment. And probably for all foreseeable moments. Boys, I love ya, but you just aren’t worth the effort at this moment. I am SO […]
I may have mentioned recently how much I love this kid. She’s a standard on the “what I am thankful for” list. And one of the best things about her is that she is solidly and completely HER. The very Sprout-ness of her. She does her own thing, she is her own girl. She was […]
It’s Spring (almost). The time of year when my inner suburban gardener always attempts to make an appearance. She is quite an enthusiastic one, that inner gardener. And this year, I made the mistake of taking her to the Philadelphia Flower Show. Now she’s all fired up to plant gorgeous things and create an oasis […]
