Cooking was never a high priority for my mother. True, she was raised in part by my great-grandmother, an old school Italian who used to hand roll spaghetti noodles but this wasn’t enough to offset the influence of my half English, half Norwegian grandmother, an orphan (barely) raised on institutional cooking. I adored the woman […]
Mitten just finished a week long drama camp and Toot is very sad about it.
The girls are both very theatrical. Will this make the teen years more or less entertaining? We shall see. Mitten did very well in her play. Had all her lines memorized quickly and during the performance spoke clearly and loudly without […]

My adorable husband, circa 1971. No wonder our kids are so cute.

D*U*C*K - I started reading Poppy Brite when I was 15 and she was writing about vampires and ghosts. I’m so pleased that her writing has grown up right along with me. All of her books about Ricky and G-man are so fun to read and I’m a foodie so they work on more than […]
Toot is terrified of many things these days. High on her list are men and robots. I chalk the man thing up to her being two and having stranger anxiety. The fear of robots can be traced directly to an episode of Spongebob Squarepants called “Krab Borg” wherein Spongebob watches a scary movie about robots, […]
The title of this post is both a shout out to my road warrior husband and an actual topic I’ve been thinking about. A friend came over last night and confessed, over coffee (wait, neither of us were drinking coffee - make that “over water”) that he and his lovely partner are considering whether or […]

I made it through Somerset without trouble but got caught by 20$ shoes in Birmingham. 13 days. Pathetic.
I realized that I don’t often post about my son. He is the littlest and the quietest (currently) so naturally, I have less material on him but this doesn’t mean the poor lad should be neglected so egregiously in my blogging. Here he is wearing some kitty ears and allowing himself to be photographed, good […]

My shopping diet is going well. Especially for me. But I’m being severely tested by a 50-75% off sale at my favorite jeans store and my desire to buy my 3rd wedding anniversary art a little early.

I hate the Disney Channel.
I become almost apoplectic just *thinking* about Hannah Montana and The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.
Do we really deserve to be subjected to Billy Ray Cyrus and his spawn? During the “Achey Breaky Heart” phenomena of the mid-Nineties my only consolation was the knowledge that after this brief spasm of […]
Welcome to my neglected little website. I haven't been updating regularly for a while now so read the old stuff. It's good, I swear!
