Late Night Thoughts on Time Travel

This is also aÂ Wednesday post masquerading as aÂ Thursday post.Â Not sure why I keep missing the big W…I may need to bow to my caprice and make Thursday my post day, instead.Â But then I’d be tempted to commit to Tuesday posts, as well, and the only thing you guys would see those nights would

Movie Outing Take Two

Friday night we tried to get out.Â Might’ve worked, too, but someone slipped word to the world so it went and hid.Â Tomorrow we’re going to try again, so mum’s the word.Â We’re going to see one of the big exotic films of the season– The Frog and the Princess. What were you thinking?Â Surely

Yarn With Personality

13JanuarySuzanneHome in the Rookery

I really never expected myself to become a yarn enthusiast, but, here I am.Â Not only did I make a pretty good purse out of yarn (pics coming soon) but I’m now making a scarf. We go in for the really over-the-top projects around here. Only trouble is, I only have oneÂ skein of the yarn…and

Training a Two-Year-old

No worries, I haven’t adopted someone elses toddler.Â For all that I love my kids, I really don’t miss the potty-training stage, and the screaming tantrums because I forgot to slice the apple the right way can remain distant memories, as well. What I’m attempting is to teach our dog, Zeke, to walk on leash.Â

Goals? What Goals? I Don’t See Any…?

Every year for it seems like an eon I’ve come up with new goals sometime in early January.Â Sometimes even on the first.Â And I’ve noticed a pattern. Some of my goals willÂ be metÂ over the course of the year, but often the goals for the year change as the year progresses–which is a nice way

Merry Christmas Adam!

You know, the day before Christmas Eve! Our budget has been a bit tighter than usual this year,Â soÂ several of the kids’ presents were homemade by yours truly.Â What’s even more amazing, they turned out pretty good.Â My personal favorite may be a stack of wash cloths for our son that were personalized so they wouldn’t

Almost Christmas Snow

As you can see from this pic, we got snow–but nothing like our neighbors to the north. And while my friendsÂ in DC were quick to exclaim over the fun we were missing, I find that I’m quite content with exactly the snow we got.Â IÂ suspect that old man winter is going to be all tuckered

Tiny Villagers

This is Thursday am, not Wednesday, but I’m working on learning my days of the week.Â Honest.Â Expect to have them down anytime now. Lately I’m working on my bread and butter writing gigs more than my urban fantasy novel and must be missing the fun and whimsy of the fantasy writing.Â When I walked

Concert Cringe

If one were ever so lucky as to find oneself amongst the audienceÂ for a jazz band school performance, I really hope that privilegedÂ individual would know better than to whistle along–especially when the whistler doesn’t know the tune!–or try to keep the kids on tempo by loudly tapping out the beat. Cause that would be really

The After Thanksgiving Post

Wednesday rolled through, and I didn’t get up a post up.Â Truth is, I don’t even remember much of my Wednesday besides the feeling of being busy, and my gratitude that we only had a small grocery list. Now it’s Friday, and I’m in the mood to blog, but I can’t decide if this post
