Today I am going to explore the things I haven’t yet done but intend to before I shuffle off.
1. Visit New Zealand. Ever since I saw LOTR, I have been intrigued and beguiled by the stunning and diverse landscapes. When I go, I will TRY not to imagine being visited by Aragorn. [...]

My parents left yesterday morning after a four-day visit. That my father could travel after having chest pains and a change to his medication was a last minute revelation and, despite having planned this visit for months, everything had fallen into a wait and see purgatory last week after his visit [...]

I have a few themes up my sleeve for future posts, but I am currently entertaining a lovely cold virus previously mutated by both my children and for whatever reason, my brain is firing random bits of memory at me. So:
51. When I am sick, I want my pajamas, a blankie to trail, a comfy [...]

The scene: house full of kids on a blizzardy snow day. Two kids sit at the island making “fluffs”: pom poms with eyeballs and fourth grader-bestowed personalities. Three kids sit at the kitchen table, playing with Sculpey. Husband, astonishingly, is at home as (unheard of) all of his patients have cancelled. He [...]

Yeah. In-laws again.
As I wrote about recently, my in-laws have some peculiar theories about communication. Highly ineffective and persistent peculiar notions.
Since we last saw them back in early December, there has been almost NO contact between my husband and me and his parents. Husband sent them jpegs of the kids recent report [...]

Way back in high school, I would frequently end up humming or singing whichever song it was that woke me up that morning at 6:45 - be it Eye in the Sky, Who can it be now, Centerfold (1982, anyone?) all day.
At the time, I was doomed to have this little loop of [...]

Eldest daughter (nearly 12) took a shower last evening, tearing herself away from a computer game youngest and she were playing. So sucked into this game was she that when she emerged from her shower, she threw on her pjs, negligently patted her sopping hair and seated herself once again next to her [...]

I didn’t grow up organically-minded and was in the dark about what organic products were. After living on the West Coast in the early 90s, I began to explore the foods and products I ate and used and began to realize that although my new choices were very different to how I had been [...]

Brain in a blender
rendered me
unable to sleep.
In thrall to the mundania inundating my mind,
I tossed, resentfully listening
to sounds of contented breathing
from the west side of the bed.
I had one of those nights. For the life of me, I could not drop off. Why was the ceiling so fascinating that I found myself [...]
