It’s been such a hectic couple of weeks round here, to stay the least, I almost forgot I had a blog. Okay, not quite but there have been so many things I have wanted to write about, like the well-loved oleaginous Whirly Pop I threw out after six years of use while packing a fewContinueContinue reading “Lessons in moving with toddlers”

Bye Bye Bellview
I better write this while I still have my mind. Part of it anyway. It’s 8:45 p.m. and I foresee a late night of packing ahead. It’s our last night in our house. From the moment I woke up this morning, I’ve been weepy about it. I’m not sure why, but I didn’t expect it.ContinueContinue reading “Bye Bye Bellview”
If I ever had a mojo, I think I’ve lost it
Groove, mojo—whatever you want to call it, I fear I’ve lost it. Perhaps forever, because I am not so sure I will be as lucky as Stella and get mine back. After all, how exactly does one go about getting their mojo back? Does it require highlights, tanning beds, shopping sprees, Botox, and trips toContinueContinue reading “If I ever had a mojo, I think I’ve lost it”
Awards for Slackers?
Ahh, the world wide web…how I have missed you. I apologize for the long delay in getting this post up, but I have been without Internet since Sunday! Big bummer. So on this fine sunny day I am sitting in a McDonald’s parking lot listening to country music and trying to catch up on e-mailsContinueContinue reading “Awards for Slackers?”

Time to start planning the party…
I’m the first to admit that I am not the best at following local, national, and international news. I’m also not particularly fond of following Lady Gaga’s latest outfit or Brad and Angelina’s latest fight. But as I was flipping through the channels this morning trying to find “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse” in our hotel room,ContinueContinue reading “Time to start planning the party…”
Instantize me!
This morning I got in my freezing cold car and drove to Food Lion for the essentials. The bad thing about living in the middle of a small town is that the heater in my car never warms up, so I ride the whole ten minutes there and back hunched over and shivering with oneContinueContinue reading “Instantize me!”
11 reasons I could live without January
Between sickness and snow, just about every plan I have made for the month of January has been canceled. It’s left me thinking that January is the most useless month of the year. Here’s eleven reasons why: February Admittedly, February isn’t much better. Cold, snowy, more of the same. It is, however, three days shorter,ContinueContinue reading “11 reasons I could live without January”
You put your right foot in…
How old is too old for footie-pajamas? This may surprise you, but I ask myself this question a lot. Currently, my boys are 21 months and 7 months, well within the range of appropriate footie-pajama wearing years. But on occasion the question arises in my mind and I wonder at what age I should stopContinueContinue reading “You put your right foot in…”
Snow falling on blogs
Snow Falling on Cedars. Remember that movie? Well, I never saw it, but this is snow falling on blogs! Like it? Actually, that’s what it’s been doing here in Pittsburgh the past several days so I suppose it’s appropos. Lots of beautiful snow showers—though nothing more than a dusting has stuck around. But still beautiful toContinueContinue reading “Snow falling on blogs”
