Merry Christmas.

I’m busy today, my friends. I’ve got some fussy housekeeping to do, along with some cooking and some last minute gift-wrapping. I’ve got to unwrap and brine the turkey, I’ve got several pounds of potatoes to peel, I’m putting together my grandmother’s cinnamon rolls for baking tomorrow morning and I need to make a cake [...]

Bo, Seester and I have finished another installment of The Dark and Stormy Book Club Podcast. It’s available for you to hear, well, here!
We decided to investigate poetry this month, seeing as though December is typically a very busy month for folks and we thought that a novel would represent too much pressure for [...]

At 1:08 this morning, the northern hemisphere of the Earth was as far from the Sun as it gets. We here in the northern half of our globe will have the shortest day and the longest night of the year.
I feel reverent and quiet today, despite the long list of pre-Christmas ‘to-do’ items and appointments [...]

… it smells YUMMY in my kitchen right now!
I like more people than I can afford to give gifts to. I try to give something to the people who come to my classes at the health club, for example, and to the girls’ teachers and bus driver. Since I don’t always know these [...]

I’m writing to you from inside the little house in the snow globe. Give it a good shake and look in the window - see me there, waving to you?
Yes, it’s pretty. Yes, the girls are thrilled to have a snow day. Yes, we’ll most certainly have a white Christmas.
We’re actually in [...]

I am uninspired today. No, that’s not entirely true; I am busy today and am not devoting the creative energy that I should to my entry. Luckily, my friend (and favorite Jew) O’Mama came through for me. Here’s what was in my inbox this morning. I’m thinking of making copies to [...]

The Santa Claus Letter Edition.
I’m very well aware that things are not the point of this season; nonetheless, here are ten things I wouldn’t mind getting for Christmas:
1. An iPhone
2. A scanner/copier for my computer (so I can stop sending Mr. Chili to work with things I need scanned, or begging O’Mama to [...]

So, Beanie’s appointment went well. Her doctor is lovely and put us immediately at ease (though, as I say, my “mommy radar” hasn’t gone off about any of this, so I wasn’t particularly uneasy to begin with). There were a zillion questions about family history, she talked to Beanie about what she eats [...]

I was tagged again to write another seven things. It’s getting harder for me to write things that I’m sure I haven’t mentioned here already.
I can’t remember who tagged me; if it was you, ‘fess up.
1. I don’t like spice cake. No gingerbread for me, either. The closest I get to [...]
