Yesterday I was sitting on my couch reading a fantastic book called The Rules of Civility by Amor Towles on my Kindle Fire (lest you think it was just a plain ol’ Kindle, which looks somehow archaic and behind the times already) when my three year old sidled up to me to watch. Yep, the… Read More

Wishing we could’ve skipped February altogether
Share post:
I didn’t write a single post the entire month of February, did I? One day, I was going right along, writing my blog posts, trudging back and forth to work, doing my thang and the next thing I know 29 days have gone by. February was… um, not really sure how to say this delicately.… Read More
Can’t we all just get along?

You know how when you are going on vacation you spend the whole day thinking Thank God I am going on vacation tomorrow. I could not do this for one more day. If I wasn’t going on vacation tomorrow I would end up lighting my hair on fire, swinging naked from the conference room light… Read More
Monday Night Confession: Not the Mom I Want to Be
Share post:
Due to technical difficulties, this edition of the Sunday Night Confession is being published on Monday night. We will resume with our regularly unscheduled and totally random programming tomorrow.

It won’t be long now. I am going to be found out. Soon my cover will be blown and I will have to face the facts that…I’m just not that smart. We’ve already covered the fact that my memory stinks. I’ve blocked out whole years of my childhood. High school and college are kind of… Read More
Gettin’ Kinda Heavy
Share post:
Sometimes I think it is easier not to know. Easier to live in what I call “my little bubble.” Lately, maybe for the past month or so, people and situations keep coming along and forcing me out of the cocoon of ignorance. Of not knowing. And into the bright sunlight. Into that bright glare of… Read More
When it snows, it pours
Share post:
I’m not a “winter person.” I get cold easily. In fact, I’m sitting here writing this 4 hours after I got home tonight and I’m still wearing my down jacket. It is cold in here. Personally, I like the winters where it snows a lot in the mountains so the view looks pretty and the… Read More
Sometimes home smells like dirty socks. But it’s still home. And that is sweet.

Pleasant. Pleasure. The end of the day. Warm bed, soft pillow, puffy blanket, Drop Dead Diva. My laptop and a game of Words with Friends. But only if the letters are good. Sometimes all you get are vowels–all 1 point letters and a random Q. Then the game is frustrating and not at all fun.… Read More
“Our Sunday Night Dinner: A Very, Very Short Play”

Scene opens on a kitchen table in a well-lit kitchen somewhere in the suburbs. The family (two parents and three young boys) is sitting around the table eating peacefully and chatting quietly. It is dark outside and the kitchen is warm and cozy. Little L: (singing loudly to the tune of Cee Lo Green’s “Forget… Read More
Hasta La Vista, Baby!

Well, here it is: December 31, 2011. New Year’s Eve. And I have one thing to say: We made it! Whew. What a year. I can’t really tell you why it has felt like such a crazy, difficult year. It just has. As I get ready to go out for a sushi date night with… Read More
