Ugh.
I have not been sleeping well lately, and I can’t figure out why. I’m not unwell; there’s nothing in particular that is occupying my mind; my house is warm and my bed is comfortable and, in general, all’s right with my world. So why do I keep waking up around 2:30 in the [...]

We’re into the second half of 100 things!
51. I am constantly amazed that I can go into a store for toothpaste and shampoo and come out having spent $100 dollars and only carrying two bags.
52. I love the West Wing, ER, Medium, Grey’s Anatomy, Wanted and Rescue Me. I’m really hoping Wanted and Rescue Me [...]

Lacking anything better to write about (sorry, I’ve got brain freeze), I’m going to tell you what’s on the back of my car. Try to contain your giddy excitement.
I drive a fun little VW Golf. I love the thing, and affectionatly refer to it as “the hockey puck.” Puck and I have [...]

My grandfather turned 80 today.
He’s a strange duck, my grandfather, and the more I think of him, the odder he seems to become. He’s nothing like I think of typical 80 year old men to be, but then again, he’s exactly like that.
He’s set in his ways, and can be a cranky, cantankerous auld [...]

On Thursday, I was driving home from a few errands, listening to Terry Gross on NPR’s Fresh Air. She was interviewing Army Lieutenant Ehren Watada, who is the first American serviceman to publicly refuse to deploy to Iraq on the grounds that the war is both illegal and immoral.
After doing some research to [...]

Tomorrow is International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Given that there has been a lot of noise lately from those who would deny that particular darkness in our collective history, and that, despite the lessons of the past, we still stand idly by while our brothers and sisters suffer, I think it’s important to recognize this day of [...]

It’s going to get COLD!
The weather prognosticators are saying that it’s going to get seriously chilly in our neck of the woods. I called Organic Mama the other morning to ask her to tell her countrymen to keep their effing frigid air to themselves, thank you very much, because it seems our neighbors [...]

Meno is a cool mom. She’s the kind of mom I’m working on being. The other day, she posted an entry about buying her daughter a vibrator. Now, Meno’s daughter is 16 and my girls are nine and seven, so the vibrator issue is still a way off, but I’m doing my [...]

An almost even mix of “YAY!” and “BOO!”
1. A ’spare’ hour, a mug of hot cocoa, a warm couch, and a good book.
2. People who don’t understand how to use four-way stops, on-ramps, or traffic circles.
3. A card in the mail box, just because.
4. Having one egg too few [...]

Sometimes, my kids crack me up (oh, who am I kidding - they crack me up ALL the time!).
So, my husband was busy explaining the genealogical history of AT&T. Because Mac is coming out with the iPhone and because my husband desperately wants an iPhone, and because iPhones are going to be on the [...]
