olde tymey blogging since twenty aught six
We can’t eat lunch together anymore. These days he ventures out for fast food near his office, or takes recommendations for something decent to eat in whatever city he’s visiting for the week. She giggles with her new friends in the cafeteria at 10:20 in the freaking morning. Me? I talk to Zoe Pudl at [...]

Happy day to all you mamas, future mamas, and mamas-at-heart. On this Mother’s Day I feel so blessed to have a loving mom, stepmother, and mother-in-law in my life. I’m also grateful for my three grandmothers who are no longer with us. I am thankful for the many wise and inspiring women in my life, [...]

A post of unrelated paragraphs is better than nothing at all, right? ~I still plan on finishing my SBFVS! recaps, but not until I get back from another Florida funeral. My stepgrandmother passed away this week. Along with her late husband, she treated me like one of her own from the first time I met [...]

Yes, this is way overdue. And a bit photo intensive. Grandma’s memorial service was at 11:30 on Friday morning. Since Pea’s morning speed can be compared to cliches involving snails or molasses, we had to get up and moving as quickly as possible. Once she was dressed I sent her to the hotel’s "free hot [...]

I realize that I promised to start the Very Exciting Recaps of our SBFVS!* yesterday, but there were pressing post-vacation matters to attend to. I had to deal with a week’s worth of laundry that included Pea’s clothing stained with everything from chocolate to hotel pen ink to extremely fresh squeezed orange juice. I also [...]

I’ve realized that when I have something to write about it and don’t just sit down and write about it, it never happens. It’s hard to do, though. My boss is pretty critical of blogging on the job. At the moment she’s watching Finding Nemo from the comfort of a house made of couch cushions, [...]

I just realized that I never wrote a Thankful Thursday last week. This was unintentional. Even though the week seemed astronomically bad, there were plenty of things to be thankful for. The past week, along with the rest of this month so far, has been a bit more crap-filled than I would prefer. It would [...]

I’m planning on writing about our Thanksgiving adventures, but life has been busy since we returned home. At the moment I have a sick husband and a sick dog, and I’m feeling a bit helpless / useless. So here’s a quick flashback to Friday, when we enjoyed several varieties of pah. Yes, that’s pizza and [...]

Pea’s typical weekday breakfast started earlier than usual this morning. That’s why I gave her a half-assed answer to a reasonable question. "What’s this banana’s nametag say, Mama?""It says ‘this is a banana.’" She didn’t believe me, though. So I told her that it said "Del Monte," which I then explained was the company that [...]

About a week ago I sat here and wrote about the near panic attack I was having regarding a party at the house across the street. After reading two encouraging comments from friends (I appreciate the other comments as well, but I had only seen two when I made my decision) and one encouraging email [...]
