I wish I had something to write about. Basically I just wanted to post this picture. And ask you if you think the new website layout is too boring? I got sick of the old look and Mark is too busy and I can’t do much on my own so basically I uploaded one of [...]
Doesn’t this look delicious?
It is.
I made cookies for our Friday-Sunday trip to Honeycreek Resort on Iowa. It is a new resort and acts like it. Meaning things were a little goofy and slow and half the attractions won’t be open till another year. Still, it was nice to get away. And there was a [...]
My husband secretly changed my google theme to Daniel Clowes. Now I see a lot of depressing comic pictures. Like sad looking men brushing their teeth. And flossing. And spitting out toothpaste. And shaving.
Ah, constipation! I blame the Dilaudid. But it was worth it. I do hope it goes away in time for [...]
Dulcie is about to lose her first tooth. This is bittersweet for me.
Things I wish I were doing: going to Blogher, looking at the ocean, buying furniture
Summer has been way too rainy. Stop that now.
I went to the ER for my 48 hour headache. They tried something that didn’t work before they tried the Delaudid, [...]
I saw this list via Kottke and there are of course numerous books I haven’t read, I was pleasantly surprised to find I have read a few (and am currently reading one).
What defines Post Modern? I wasn’t an English major. I didn’t even take a Lit class in college (film sounded more fun). I guess [...]
So I’m going to post a picture today.

This is their awesome mailbox. [...]
blah blah blah blah blah.
THE NEW HARRY POTTER MOVIE OPENS NEXT WEEK. THE ONE WHERE HARRY AND GINNY SNOG. YAAAY!
good night.
It kind of depresses me that I’ll never bet this kind of mom for Dulcie. I’ll never make her a special pillowcase for her first overnight camp experience (or a stuffed picture of our cat, for that matter). I will never sew her the perfect little dresses with peter pan collars that I have in [...]
Still behind on Infinite Jest. I have started to seep into that uncomfortable state of semi self-loathing along with the paralysis of figuring out what to do with oneself that comes with not being able to find a job. Yes, I have a job. But it doesn’t pay enough and it doesn’t satisfy and I’m [...]
Since I do mental health counseling and also want to publish (and am
currently writing) young adult fiction, the adolescent brain holds some
interest for me. (Not to mention that in 8 years my own child will be
rolling her eyes at me and uttering “duh” at every turn. It’s best to
prepare oneself for parenting an adolescent.)
We often [...]
