Peace

January 17, 2008

I went to a funereal today. My assistant's husband died after a 15 year battle with cancer. He was buried with full military honors at Arlington Cemetery. In a snow storm. I haven't been to many Christian funerals. Come to think of it, I haven't been to many Jewish funerals. The pastor stood outside the [...]

January 16, 2008

Turns out the hinge on my trunk broke which caused the broken windshield. VW is paying for the hinge and the broken windshield because, get this, the hinge on my car had been a known issue and had been replaced in most of the models of my car. Isn't that interesting since the service advisor [...]

Just when I thought things were looking up

January 11, 2008

The mattresses arrived as soon as I hit publish on the last entry. I missed my weekly spin class but figured I still had the morning to get some stuff done. I got our shoes and coats on and headed out the door to run errands. I figured I would take Michael to this great [...]

Take a Guess

January 11, 2008

I'm waiting for Michael's mattress to be delivered. Because nothing is better than being stuck home with a toddler. My window is 9 to noon. It's 9:50. Any guesses? I say 11:59, but I'm eternally pessimistic.

DCMM: I have a confession to make

January 11, 2008

I'm lame. I missed the DC Metro Moms party. I know, I know! I missed meeting all those great ladies, and Jim! I missed the fun. I missed the booze. And I love my wine. I wanted to go, I really did. But we live about 30 minutes outside of DC without traffic. On a [...]

Saying goodbye, going away, seems like goodbye’s such a hard thing to say

January 9, 2008

You know that scene in the Muppet Movie when Miss Piggy and Kermit sing the very sad saying goodbye song? I felt a little like that last night. We explained to Michael that the painters were coming tomorrow. That the trees on his wall his father had painted for him were going away. He said, [...]
