I LOVE My Readers!!

So, remember a day or two ago I wrote this post about the “economic stimulus package” and how eerily it reminded me of a wonderful scene from The West Wing? I was able to find the transcript for the show, but no video of the scene, and that made me a little sad because [...]

Passing Love Around

I’ve been smooched! Once by Chatty and once by Tense. Thanks, Ladies – I love you, too!!

The idea here is to pass around the love, but I found myself so overwhelmed with how much I really dig all my blogging friends that I was having a hard time not just directing your attention [...]

Beanie Update

So, we drove an hour each way to essentially have the doctor tell us, in that lovely way she has, that Beanie is just fine….
Mostly.
All the scary tests came back completely clean. Nothing is wrong with her liver or kidneys; she’s got no discernible sensitivities to things like wheat or lactose; there’s no sign [...]

Ten Things Tuesday

The “I’m Uninspired” Edition.
Usually, I’m pretty good at coming up with Ten Things Tuesday fodder.  Today?  Not so much, so I sent off an email to Kizz for help, and she encouraged me to embrace my uninspiredness (it is TOO a word!).  I like that – I’ve been trying to move toward acceptance of where [...]

New Music Monday

We had a wonderful time at the concert last night. The venue was tiny and we got to sit, literally, front-and-center, the opening act had a beautiful voice (though, as a lover of language, I was disappointed by the lack of complexity in her lyrics), and our waiter was good.

I’m sometimes struck by my [...]

phoning it in

…literally. I’m blogging from my phone, Folks! I’m not sure if it’ll post; I’m hoping for the best.
I finished YNG today, and Mr. Chili and I are at a little venue waiting to see a folk artist we just discovered last week. I don’t know how to post links, so you’ll have [...]

Just a Quickie

I’m blowing blogging off today, my friends.  I’ve had a pretty intense day at Yoga National Guard, and now that I’m home I’m going to get a salad and some homemade mac and cheese (courtesy of the Daddy-Daughter cooking team) and snuggle on the couch with my family to watch Tarzan.  I’ll have something a [...]

Death and Taxes

Everyone’s talking about the “economic stimulus package” that’s rumbling around Capitol Hill this week. Gerry’s written about it here, The Naked Messenger gave us an economics lesson here, and Bo’s got a post here. I’ve been listening to seemingly endless NPR stories about it and seriously? ALL I can think of is [...]

Private Practice

I taught my first private yoga class this morning.

Lin, a client of my sister’s housekeeping business, emailed me last December to ask me if I taught private yoga sessions. To this point I hadn’t, but there was really no good reason why I couldn’t, so I told her that I’d be happy to. [...]

Thanks, Tense

Here’s another meaningless meme, ripped off of my beloved Tense Teacher. I’m distracted and busy today, and I’m sorry, but this is the best I’ve got.
1. Are you taller than your best friend?
My very best friend is Mr. Chili and no, I’m not taller than he is. In fact, I’m not [...]
