(Ugh! I just wrote this whole post and WordPress fricking lost it!! Now you get an abbreviated version because I am too tired to do this again) Tonight I was able to escape the week this has been and listen to some beautiful music. If you read Miss Music Nerd, then you know she composed... Continue Reading →
Kindred spirits
I am not sure if it is a good idea to blog while hungover, but it is probably better than blogging while drunk so it is good that I resisted the call of the glowing screen at midnight last night 🙂 Ah vendor parties. Dangerous things I tell ya. Last year in Orlando it was... Continue Reading →
Linky goodness
Yes, still in the habit of posting every day! Can't stop 😉 Well, I probably will this weekend since SB's baseball team just entered a tournament. That might stop my typing. Just wanted to give a quick shout out to my newly expanded blogroll. I wish I had been able to get as into NaBloPoMo... Continue Reading →

Carlos Castaneda by FireCrow Yup, in a nutshell, the above quote is The Power of Positive Thinking. Now, this often seems simplistic. Contrived. Trite. But, it also works. Back in high...

The Monday after the Worst Sports Weekend Ever

An essay on community
In my life currently I have both real and internet communities that I belong to. It's hard to believe that prior to DS2's birth, I pretty much had none! Back in the late 80s/early 90s when DS1 was in elementary school, I was pretty much on my own with him. Ex#1 was totally unreliable and... Continue Reading →
Valentines Day Report
The top flowers were delivered last night when DS1 got home. The bottom flowers were left at my desk by SP the night before so that I walked into see them yesterday morning. I just love that vase!!! I am fixing him Valentines dinner tonight since he had to go home last night. I'm making... Continue Reading →
Jam packed weekend
I have never been more happy that this is a 3-day weekend! I so need a day at home to do chores. First off, the baseball tournament. DS2 had an OK effort. I had a conversation with one coach who is also the dad of one his best friend's so he's known DS2 for a... Continue Reading →
