Oh no!!!

Decisions to be made!

I’ve been stalling, and here’s why: I have reached my media storage limit on this blog (hosted by wordpress.com) and I can’t decide what to do next.  I could pay to increase my storage limit… but that seems like a short-term solution since I’ll just be back in this same situation after a while.  The … Read more

Worry-wart alert.

Since I know you’ve all been waiting to hear how things turned out… I worried needlessly about the storytelling research paper.  My professor never commented on the relevance of the subject and I got an A to boot.  How do you like that?  Does anyone else feel like the second you start worrying (a lot) … Read more

Vivi and Daddy at the county fair

Hoosier Daddy?

Couldn’t resist.  What’s an Indiana girl to say on Father’s Day, if not that? Happy Father’s day! Alright, that would’ve worked. I could write a long, involved post on my relationship with my dad, but in this instance, I have a little bit more to say about my husband – as a father to my … Read more

still writing. sort of.

Still writing.  No zoo. The worst part? Once I decided that we weren’t going to make it to the zoo, today, I procrastinated even more because my entire day had opened up for writing. Except, it hadn’t, because I still have Vieve with me. So now I’m only four pages into a paper that has … Read more

Hiking… always hiking.

I had no idea that I get so hopelessly addicted to the woods once I got Vivo’s new carrier!  Honestly, the days have been beautiful and it’s a free activity that we both love and that teaches her some new things every time we’re out. Win, win, win, win, etc.     I have one paper … Read more

parent manifesto, n. A public declaration, explanation, or justification… of being a very certain sort of mommy.

Does anything beat stinky baby breath?   I swear, Genevieve can have the raunchiest exhale in the known universe and all I can think is how wonderful she is.  Two thoughts jump to mind: The rancid air must kill off so many brain cells that my sense of smell is eradicated and Why can’t I … Read more

More birthdays!

So far today, I feel thwarted. And so does Vieve.   I got up, got going, got all of our hiking stuff together after a good breakfast, loaded up the car, and… my battery was dead. Blech. Jezra is supposed to be working in Nashville later today so he might come by and get me … Read more

These are a few of my favorite things…

I am so pleased that so many of you know how to identify near-perfect television programming!   That post got me thinking bout the pleasures in life… both guilty and otherwise. Family, friends, and pets aside, I have a decent list of “the little things” that I enjoy on a daily basis. Here they are, … Read more

I have a (very) guilty pleasure.

I will confess now and then plead my case.   I have been watching “Dawson’s Creek,” episode by episode, season by season, on Netflix.     I know, I know.       It started last week sometime and I’ve been a little obsessed with it since then… to the point where I need to … Read more
