Just when you think that you have nothing to write about….
I think I just got drunk dialed by my mother.Okay, to be fair, I don't know for certain that she was drunk. She was wrapping her Christmas presents at 1:30 on a February afternoon (What? She's prepared.) and called to share her revolutionary new idea... she was...
Raindrops on Roses…
I just finished Nora Ephron's book, I Remember Nothing, a series of essays on aging. It was hugely amusing and not at all alarming. Not even given the fact that lately I have started to ask my business partner to "Please pass me the...." and then stare at her blankly...
I Heart John Cusack
Did everyone have a happy Valentine's Day? We did. And for once, I thought I had the perfect Valentine's Day gift for hubby. Nothing expensive or flashy or requiring a time commitment or that would take up a lot of space or that would clutter up the house or the...
Too Early for Spring “Cleaning?”
I can't take it. It's the middle of February and when I woke up it was ten degrees below zero. Which means we have been experiencing the "joy" of winter for, what? Seventeen straight months?Well, feels like it, anyways.PLUS we have reached the point of maximum...
The 2011 Medtronic Marathon… why? WHY?!
Well, the deed is done. Hubby and I are officially registered for the Twin Cities marathon this October. To "celebrate" I knocked off ten miles on the treadmill yesterday. Right around mile eight, I started to seriously question the whole endeavor.Why am I doing this,...
When little things mean a lot.
It's the little things that'll get you.This morning hubby woke me up early. Like super, duper, I'd-Rather-Be-Dead-Than-Awake-Right-Now early. He had missed the bus and I would I mind if he took the car? (Answer; No. Shut up and go away.) Now, I don't mind that I had...
Can’t blog… napping…..
You know how you always hear about those businesses that get the big boost right after New Year's Day? Places like gyms and fitness equipment stores and, I'm just guessing here, but I'm going to bet liposuction clinics, too. Well, I'm here to tell you that there is...
Lost in the shuffle….
A dear friend gave me an ipod nano for Christmas. Let me say this; I LOVE my nano. Look... LOOK! It's so sweet. The screen lights up. It has an internal pedometer. It picks up FM radio so I can listen to the local celebrity gossip station... whoops, I mean, NPR. I...
Playin’ hooky.
Yesterday I played hooky. It was purely medicinal, I assure you. I'm not sure if the cold weather induced isolation has led to cabin fever, or if the constant demands of five children have driven me around the bend, but Wednesday after the kids left for school, I...
Friday, where are you?
It is never a good sign when it's only 11:00 in the morning and you've already been seventeen kinds of crazy.It all started with the alarm clock... the stupid, stupid alarm clock. I must have accidentally turned it off last night, unless even my subconscious shares...
