“He died, Mom.”
“Who died, honey?”
“That 14 year old, the one who was hit by a school bus on Saturday? He died. The (choral) concert tonight is canceled so everyone can have memorial service.”
Shocked noise from me.
“Mom, I am so worried about the bus driver! He’s the nicest man in the world and he’s [...]

1. This is Bob’s hair. Although not a fan of anything bloggy, he consented to be partially photographed so that I could post photos of the unbelievable sproing curls/tentacles/horns that protrude from his head. When it’s tightly curled in the morning, I know it’s just a matter of time until I can play with [...]

At around 2 this morning, a thunderclap woke my husband and me from a deep, exhausted sleep. As rain pelted down amidst the staccato burst of light, Bob said, “Shit, did I take the seeds in?”
I hadn’t any idea as I’d been concerned with the flower seeds I had been planting and I knew [...]

A dear, dear friend abroad, just this morning, sent me an email with lovely sentiments embedded within. In it, I was reminded that the day must be seized, that friends far away must be cherished and reminded how dear they are. I was touched. Thing is, those lovely sentiments were couched in terms that [...]

Ok, she’s not technically afire, she is just in HEAT.
Shem keeps sniffing at the door to the basement (where Sephy is being kept, in her crate, for the time being) and whining. His little sister, who does not smell at ALL like his little sister anymore, cannot be reached for any sort [...]

It’s bloody raining again. Nevertheless, organfam ventured forth into the deluge this morning just across the border of the next state, to the Herbal Farmacy, an operation that sells organic herbs, flowers and vegetables. I return every year for my bedding plants, mostly because I have never found their equal anywhere. [...]

This morning, as I sat eating my maple buckwheat cereal, Bob looked over at me and smirked. Raising one eyebrow slightly, I looked a question at him and then resumed my breakfasting. Monkeyface, having been privy to the silent exchange, poked her father and asked, “What’s so funny?”
“It’s your mother’s outfit, honey. [...]

For some reason, things have been occurring in numerically significant ways, so this week’s list is all about da numbers.
1. 4:47. A freaking M. I have woken up at this time 4 times during the last week. Shortly after the sky lightened, I could swear I heard an alarm echoing in my [...]

Post-breakfast on most weekend mornings, either Pancakeday or Waffleday, usually finds my husband and me curled up on the brown leather couches in the living room. Mine is the loveseat, where I like to curl up on top of the collection of colorful cushions and balance my blue mug of coffee on my knee. [...]

My desk is piled high with things on my “Stop Procrastinating Now” list, but it’s absolutely gorgeous outside. Boo went off to Synagogue this morning with our neighbor (she has to attend 26 Saturday morning services before her Bat Mitzvah in March), MF has the computer all to herself so she’s doing the whole [...]
