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 […]

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 was sitting here on the family room floor, surrounded by books & stuff that I am packing up, flipping channels, and looking for something to watch. I stopped on a Discovery Home show called neat, that was just starting. Apparently a stay-at-home mom named Lisa Clarke is having trouble living in peace with […]

Organizing my Google reader. Yes, I got up this January 1st, and promptly set to work organizing myself electronically. I’m starting with the feeds, but hopefully before the day is through I will also have my calendar and task lists up to speed.

I had a busy few days before Christmas, enjoyed a lovely holiday with my in-laws, and hosted a pleasant day-after-Christmas party for my side of the family.

About an hour ago, fire trucks started arriving and parking across the street. At last count, there were three trucks (from two different towns), a handful of police cars, a few ambulances, miscellaneous official town government cars including an “emergency management” vehicle, and a whole lot of men in uniforms wandering around the yard.
