Effortless Prose

Posted in Little Bits of Nothingness on September 29, 2008 | 8 Comments »

Most of you know that I’m reading The Stand for the Dark and Stormy Book Club’s October selection (thanks, Bo!!).  I am enjoying this story very, very much.
I’ll admit to having some occasional trouble keeping characters straight (there is quite a collection of them, let me tell you), and I can also say that there [...]

Go on over and see if you can help my friend suss something out…

I’m sure you’ve noticed that the world is kind of messed up.  If you’re anything like me (and I know a bunch of you are) you recognize that there’s quite a lot of suffering going on out there, and you probably want desperately to do something about it.  You probably feel, though – like I [...]

Busy, Busy

Sorry, you guys.  Mrs. Chili is pretty much flat-out today, so I don’t have time to wax philosophic.  I spent the morning rushing around, teaching a yoga class and getting shopping done before bringing the girls to Monkeyface’s 11 birthday party.  My late afternoon and evening is being spent housekeeping and putting together the second [...]

Isn’t there a kids’ group called 4H?  They show cows and goats at country fairs, right?
Anyway, here’s today’s fucking floral and foliage Friday.  First, the foliage (oh, how I love alliteration!)
As promised, I remembered to bring the camera to work this week.  Here’s a view of Centerpiece Hall from my walk from the parking lot [...]

I’m feeling slightly schizophrenic lately, you guys, and I feel like I need a little perspective on the situation (really, what I want is for you to tell me that there’s absolutely nothing wrong with me, but I’ll take what I can get).
Those of you who know me know that I am a very gentle, [...]

Ten Things Tuesday

Posted in Home and Family, Little Bits of Nothingness, Parenting, celebration, cooking, fun, kid cuteness, love notes, my oh-so-exciting life, ten things Tuesday, weather on September 23, 2008 | 13 Comments »

The weather is starting to take a decided turn here in New England.  Since I’m pretty famous for griping about the impending winter (really, for a native Yankee, I ought to just quit my bitching), I decided to try to look at things a bit more positively.  Here, then, are ten things that I really, genuinely [...]
