Unrequited Pecan Pie
My life caught up with me. There’s been a standing offer for a prize for the person who found the source of a “locker room” smell in my house this week. I cleaned, I searched, I concluded it must be the dampness or the wet kitchen towels that had to wait too long to be […]
Council of Friends
The last time we were all together… The Bitches, June 2000 I gotta tell you… I’m still looking for the bunnies and butterflies. I am working hard to rearrange some things in my head right now. I don’t really want to bear my soul on the issues, and, luckily, I’m a grown up, with free […]
Decompression
One of the funniest things I’ve seen all weekend: Shrek and his mini-me mowing the lawn I’m trying to decompress tonight.

Beg, Steal or Borrow
Let’s see. Where to start? Busy weekend, a two-year-old with a stomach virus, a ninth anniversary… I won’t go into detail about my weekend, but it was crazy, hectic, fun and stressful. I relied often on the kindness of others, particularly in deference to my children. I got to see a ton of great friends, […]
September Eve
The months are sliding by, bleeding into one another in shades of color, amazing me with their quickness. I am aware of changing seasons, lengthening limbs and growing minds. I’m torn between being appreciative and satisfied with what I have and with believing I must dream and want for more. I’m fine. Here’s a rare […]
