Mr. Chili and I have been going around and around about onions lately. There was a scene in our kitchen on Monday night when I suggested cheese soup for dinner and he suggested that he cook it. This set off my alarm bells - he’s usually not huge on cooking dinner - so [...]

In honor of Thanksgiving….
I am grateful:
• that so many good people think that I am worthy of their love and friendship.
• for a family of my own choosing, who love and respect and honor one another.
• that I and the people I care about enjoy good health.
• that we have enough money to live comfortably.
• [...]

I spent this morning at Boston’s Museum of Science, chaperoning Beanie’s field trip.
I drove myself and two other chaperones (sisters who, it turns out, are students at TCC. When we figured this out (on the way home), the one in the back seat said “I THOUGHT you looked familiar!”). I dislike busses anyway, and I [...]

I found this on PostSecret, and it spoke to me:
I totally understand this sentiment.
I find that I’m very careful who I talk to honestly about my life. I am very, very happy. I am deeply and profoundly in love with my husband. I have two healthy, smart, beautiful children. [...]

We’re on another Yoga National Guard weekend. They’re coming close together these last few months because of the holidays in November and December, but there’ll be a pretty good break between December’s tour of duty and January’s.
I’ve been reflecting on the last stint, and I’ve been thinking about the way that Cicely starts her [...]

Look, I’m a very open-minded person. I’m also pretty adventurous, even if I DON’T like roller coasters or camping. If it doesn’t seem dangerous or pointless (or just plain icky) to me, I’m willing to try just about anything.
I went into Yoga National Guard in general with a pretty good attitude, even if [...]

Ten things (or people) I think are funny:
1. The talking dogs. How can you not love the talking dogs?
2. The open letter to the president of Always maxi pads. I end up with tears in my eyes EVERY TIME I read it. The bit about the “inbred hillbilly” and the [...]

Since *I* needed a quick refresher about what, exactly, Veterans Day is all about, I thought you, also, might appreciate this - boosted directly from the U.S. Department of Veterans’ Affairs website (which, it should be noted, doesn’t have the appropriate apostrophe in the banner…).
