The word of the day reminds me… of just how behind I am on my leisure reading. It’s been months since I bought Tete-a-Tete: Simone de Beauvoir […]
Conversion strategy.
After reading Suni’s post on Vox about being visited by Jehovah’s Witnesses recently, I was reminded of something I don’t think I’d thought about in years…
Back in the first semester of 9th grade, that autumn, I took a pretty fantastic fall, fracturing a couple of my lumbar vertebrae in the process. As a result, I […]
Where’s my refund?!?!
I guess I got a little spoiled by that 4 day turn around time on my state refund; being forced to wait for my federal funds has been really frustrating. I know they said it would take 10-15 days, but man- I’ve been so anxious. But when I Googled “Where’s my refund?” this morning, I […]
The obsession continues.
Ok I’ve been having some Olivia issues lately. I just can’t get enough of that little pig, and today I went on a little shopping spree. I was good though, I spent less than $20, on a sheet of stamps (+ 2 first day covers & a stamp pin), and a chunky frig magnet styled […]
Memoirs of a Weekend
Little brother left today. It is always so wonderful to have him here. I’m convinced that- although he might have a slight clue- that kid just doesn’t know how much I adore him. His mother would have been so proud of the young man he is becoming- Lord knows I am. We had a great […]

This afternoon I took my son and the girls to the movies, to see Monster House - it wasn’t rated G, it was PG (“Parents Strongly Cautioned“), but what was there to worry about in taking two 9 year olds and a 7 year old to see a nice little animated picture show?As it turns […]
My baby’s back!
I want my baby back baby back baby back… no, I’m not craving ribs from Chili’s, but I have been singing that song pretty much non-stop the past few days. God I’ve missed this kid. I always spent summers with my grandparents when I was growing up- I wonder did my mother miss me this […]
Turnaround time.
I know I was alllll late, but I finally filed my taxes last Thursday- five days ago- and today, just like that, I already have my state refund in my hot little hand! I am SO impressed. Never has filing taxes been so easy and fast. (Remind me again why I waited until August to […]
