Two years (and ten days) ago, I started this little writing experiment.
I was encouraged to start a blog by Kizz, who’d been my gateway drug to this particular habit and who told me that I could be really really great at it.
I don’t know if I’ve achieved greatness (or, even, if I’d want to, given [...]

This is weird.
The girls started school yesterday. All went well: each of them was dropped off at her respective place of learning and handed safely to her teacher, and each of them managed to find her way safely home on a bus. They both had homework… for us - I filled out a [...]

Today is the first day of school for the Mini Chilis. Punkin’ Pie and Daddy just left for the walk to the middle school - the bus drove by just as they were leaving - and Beanie is eating breakfast, barely able to contain her excitement at the idea of going back to her beloved [...]

Ten random things that I love to have around:
1. Harry and David double-dipped malted milk balls. I get them in the candy aisle at Target for about $2.50 a box, two or three a day keep me happy, and I don’t share them with my children.
2. Post-It notes of every shape, color and [...]

Alternately titled: MR. CHILI IS MY HERO!!!
I’m back at my computer! She’s got a fresh brain and a brandy-new CD driver, courtesy of my geeky-genius husband! The damage to the circuit board was repaired by a co-worker of Mr. Chili’s who does such things, Mr. Chili navigated his way through a terrifying maze [...]

My beloved is in the process of performing a brain transplant on my laptop. In the initial course of the operation yesterday, the patient popped a connector. The outlook is questionable.
Mr. Chili has brought the connector (and the board to which it is supposed to be connected) to work with him at the [...]

I am a morning person.
That doesn’t mean that I’m up at the crack of dawn, but I do function better in the earlier hours than I do in the later. I’m much more willing to get up at 5:30 to start my day than I am to stay up past 11:00, for example, and, in [...]

I’m thinking of starting a new weekly feature on this blog.
A few weeks ago, I asked Gerry - formerly a serviceman and attorney; currently an observant intellect whose experience and insight I greatly respect - if he would be interested in teaching me about the Constitution.

Saintseester has posted the newest selection for the Dark and Stormy Book Club! She did this two days ago, but I’ve neglected to mention it yet. Sorry.
I’m about 20 pages into it and, though it’s taking a little getting used to (it moves back and forth between a few different genres/time periods/storylines), it [...]

IT’S NOT CANCER!!
Oh, wait… I suppose I should give you some background before I go crowing from the rooftops, huh? I’m not sure I ever gave you guys the full story…
You remember that the beastie was not-right a week or so ago, right? Well, after his first trip to the vet, we were [...]
