Tomorrow is my baby’s ninth birthday. NINE, People! I can hardly believe it.
She and Daddy were sitting together the other day, and I was sitting across from them. As I looked at her I realized that I don’t see my baby anymore - she’s crossed firmly into big girl territory.

…but I have to admit to loving Barbara Kingsolver. In The Poisonwood Bible, she has created a character whom I hate, loathe, abhore and despise. Nathan Price is an ignorant, arrogant, self-righteous bastard of a zealot, and Kingsolver has crafted his character with such detail and nuance that I just want to reach [...]

Today is my husband’s birthday. For the occasion, I’m going to give you a little list, composed on the fly, to give you an idea of what I’m dealing with, here.
If you ask, he’ll tell you he’s twenty-two without a hint of shame and without skipping a beat.

I just finished Middlesex this afternoon. While I enjoyed the book, I’m not sure it would make my all-time favorites list. I think I would have liked a more satisfying ending. I would recommend it for the prose and the fun story line, just be aware that, much like the complexity of [...]

…between “nice” and “friendly.”
I’m due to pick up Monday and Wednesday morning step classes starting tomorrow. This morning during my regularly scheduled step class, one of my regulars, an older man we’ll call Jim, was telling me what format the classes had been following up to this point. “Don’t worry,” he said, “just [...]

This amazing little device is a SideKick - affectionately known around my house as “the gizzy.”
It’s a phone, a calendar, email, calculator, address book, web browser, text messager, camera, note pad, alarm clock and game player, all in one handy little package.
It lets me stay in touch. It finds me weather reports and answers [...]

…THAT is the question.
I’ve GOT to start working out more. I’ve picked up two step classes a week - I start teaching them starting Monday, and that will help a lot. The thing is, though, I’m sitting here trying to dedide whether to go to Friday morning step. I’ve got a TON [...]
