I lulled myself to sleep last night, thinking about how best to get the stripey look I started to experiment with yesterday. I decided the best way to get narrow stripes would be to start with narrow stripes. Almost. I got the soft stripes I wanted, but I decided to go back on what I […]

They might be stripey or polka dot…
…but we can all pajammy in whatever we’ve got! Sorry. Sandra Boynton took over my keyboard there for a minute. Stripes. I wanted to talk about stripes. Dan Cormier got some really nifty-looking stripes with his take on the Skinner Blend, and I’ve been itching to try my own version for a week now. Since […]

Yesterday we celebrated the anniversary of the day I had two large nurses jumping forcefully on my abdomen in an effort to eject a certain stubborn little person who had decided to be born two weeks early and then changed his mind at the last minute. The little stinker is now eight years old and […]

Aidan turns eight tomorrow and his celebratory food of choice is brownies. The house smells wonderful right now. If I had my way, I’d spend this evening responding to all of your thought-provoking comments on my post about art, reading some of the other Synergy commentary popping up in blogs today, and slurping brownie batter […]

It’s been a long day, exhausting and exhilarating at the same time. Walking, lugging, more walking, more lugging, and even more walking – those were the exhausting parts. But the wonderful conversations with those who dropped by my table at the vendor fair, the opportunity to put faces to so many familiar names of customers […]

I’m just checking in from what has to be one of the ugliest hotel rooms I’ve ever stayed in. Don’t get me wrong. It’s clean. It’s tidy. There’s a place for me to put everything, and all of the bare necessities are available. And the service so far has been really good. The thing is, […]

So I got up this morning with the intention of doing the bare minimum to make myself presentable for the bus stop. Still feeling the pressure of a congestion-filled head, and planning to spend my day taking care of the various sedentary tasks I have to complete, I put on a pair of grungy sweats […]

I guess illness is never exactly convenient, but I do feel like this pressure in my head, this congestion, this sore throat, and this fatigue really could have come at a better time. Truly. I mean, geez! I have to leave for Baltimore in 2 days and my to-do list doesn’t look much better than […]
