Ma flew to New York this morning to help care for my sister-in-law as she recovers from her surgery. Ma will also be watching her three, adorable, New York dwelling grandkids. Lucky Ma. With Ma gone, I’m in charge on the home front. Do you know what happens when I’m in charge on the home…

I spent Saturday getting the Ma’s serger up and running. We had taken it in to the shop months and months ago. The repair man was appalled. “You messed up the programming, which you shouldn’t be able to do. How did you do that!?” We hadn’t touched it since bringing it home. (Is anyone surprised…

Last night was a living nightmare from childhood. I forgot what it felt like to keep a lonely, late-night vigil with only a cold, porcelain bowl for company. The sand papery feeling in my tired eyes, the silent begging for my body to sleep or at least stop being so regularly ill, but hoping beyond…

I found this picture a little bit ago. I spent the evening with a couple of my bestest friends. We go all the way back to elementary school. While we were talking, we got on to the subject of the people we had run into from high school and if it was a) awkward, b)…

The reminder postcard…

I recently pulled out my trusty nanowrimo novel. It’s a mess. Like a big mess. I’ve been working on fixing it. I’m on chapter four now. What that means is that I put a couple of spaces between what I had written and the top of the page, and then I fill that space with…

If you spend anytime on pinterest, chances are good you’ve seen an image or two of this cake hanging around. I like the cake but it’s the list of resolutions I love. That’s a list I could get behind. My own resolution is coming along nicely. I’ve run on the treadmill three times, tried two…

You’ve probably seen several lists circulating about how to be happier in 2014. Ma and I came up with our own version. From us to you, how to be happier in 2014. 1. Spend more time outside. About two months ago I told the Ma that she and I were going to take a mid-morning…

In 2014, I resolve to Be Awesome And that is all.
