Hi From Where We Are

August 18, 2009

Much too busy to blog.  There is lots to be done, like, digging holes and running to the ocean.  Actually, Michael is doing all of that.  I'm sitting in a chair and reading a book.  And taking pictures. The cell service is terrible and the house we are staying at barely has an internet connection. [...]

It’s All Settled

August 15, 2009

Ha.  I'm Funny.    On Thursday, after the movers were done and the cleaning service did a move out clean, I walked through the house when it was empty and spotless , and I felt nothing.  Which is an odd thing to feel about a place you had lived for 8 years.  Not sadness, not [...]

I will not only have a blog, and twitter, but I will live with my parents.  At 34.  With my kid and husband. But I am still not on Facebook.  Line in the sand people. I think we are ready. My next post will sadly, not be from my parent's basement, but we are actually [...]

I Have A New Addiction

August 11, 2009

Those serve yourself gourmet fancy frozen yogurt with all the toppings places?  I'm totally addicted.  How bad can fat free yogurt with granola be on it.  And Michael thinks it is ice cream so we are totally good.  In fact, this post, even though I called it ice cream, it was yogurt.  If I tell [...]

The Last Weekend

August 9, 2009

On Friday afternoon a whole long weekend stretched out ahead of me, where I knew I needed to entertain a four year old and get the house packed, all by myself.  I had been dreading it all week, but what must be done, must be done. On Friday night I took Michael to get his [...]

DCMM: The End of Childhood Wonderment

August 9, 2009

Out of nowhere on Friday, while driving Michael to preschool from the back seat I hear, "Mommy, remember when we met Mickey and Goofy?" "Of course Michael." "I don't think that was real, I think that was just a costume." "Of course it was real Michael." "No it wasn't." "What makes you say that?" "Because [...]

A Post That Is Not About Moving

August 5, 2009

I'm over on DC Metro Moms today talking about the end of childhood wonderment.  Here is the beginning of a recent conversation I had with Michael. Out of nowhere on Friday, while driving Michael to preschool from the back seat I hear, "Mommy, remember when we met Mickey and Goofy?" "Of course Michael." "I don't [...]

In Which I Admit Defeat

August 4, 2009

Instead of packing last night, I went out.  To a swanky DC restaurant.  And had wine.  And fun.  And I have a trial today.  This seemed like a good idea at the time. Ok, no it didn't, but it seemed like not a terribly bad idea at the time.  Because once we move into the [...]
