And Then

July 19, 2011

Thank you all for your kind thoughts, emails, tweets, facebook messages, google + comments, and so on and so on.  Say what you what you want about the onslaught of social media but it sure gives people a lot of ways to get in touch with you in crises.  So many of you have asked for [...]

Symmetry

July 18, 2011

I took this class in college called "Seeing Through Symmetry."  The school I went to had these "All University Curriculum Classes" that were not general education classes, but students were still required to take.  They pulled from art and science and humanities and history and math.  Some were really good and some were not.  "Seeing [...]

There is some heavy stuff going around these parts, some big choices and some big changes. But today, my husband turns 40. And tonight good friends are coming over for good food and wine and beer and I'm not going to think about that for as long as I can. Happy 40th Birthday to the [...]

On Saturday Doug and I found ourselves with a last minute afternoon date.  We hadn't realized a birthday party was drop off so we ran and got some coffee.  As we sat in the coffee shop and chatted, I overheard a conversation near us by 2 twenty something women.  They were talking about something they [...]

A Dozen

December 22, 2010

This week marked the 12th anniversary of Doug's and my first date.  It seems like a silly thing to celebrate, but for some reason we always do.  We ordered in Indian, Doug spent hours making cupcakes that turned out not so great, and we shared a bottle of Prosecco.  Not exactly a bad way to [...]

In Which I Mock Power Ballads

December 16, 2010

The other night I was flipping channels and stumbled upon an infomercial for Time Life's Ultimate Rock Ballads. And I made Doug sit through the whole thing.  And the "hosts" kept saying this is the "ultimate power ballad collection."

California Dreaming

December 8, 2010

Seriously the best vacation ever.  Flights were easy peasy.  Hotel was a dream.  We ate and drank and slept and spaed.  We shopped in cute towns and held hands and drank lots of coffee and even more wine.  And it occurred to me, about half way through the trip, that Doug is the only person [...]

Stolen Moments

October 4, 2010

Michael is now in religious school from 9:30 to noon on Sunday mornings.  And Doug and I have a new tradition.  We drop him off and then we go to Starbucks and we sit.  And talk.  Sure we could go home and have coffee and that would be cheaper but if we did that I [...]
