Well, it’s Valentine’s Day. My grown-up sweetheart is on the east side of the state, sitting in a conference room and learning about some content management software. My younger sweetheart graciously accompanied me to dinner last night for a little early celebration of the L-O-V-E holiday. We shared cornbread, he […]
Dinner with my boys
The yummiest hummus (or homus as it’s spelled on the menu) in town. I love Sam’s Oasis. It’s one of our favorite local places. We had a lovely evening. Devin turned his nose up at a few things, but relented on the lentil soup (which he then demanded more of) […]
Ta-ta, Vegas
The funniest thing during the entire trip happened on the red-eye at 1:00 a.m. this morning (er, 4:00 a.m. in my home time zone). When the gentleman arrived to take his seat next to me on the flight, he commented, “If I start snoring, and I will, hit me in […]
Vegas, baby!
Scott has been teaching Devin to say that phrase in the smarmy Vegas voice in honor of me heading out thataway for a work gig. So things will be quiet here for a few days. I hope to come back with many photos. About time for me to start putting […]

Did you know I could leap tall toddlers in a single bound?
Motherhood isn’t something I was born to, as that saying goes. I struggled mightily to get the hang of it at first. I was bowled over by Devin’s adorableness when he entered our household. His sweetness. His funnyness. His perfectness. All of it. But I was also very definitely bowled […]
My dog is mad at me
She refused to even touch her dinner tonight. She’s moping around the house. She won’t come into the office and lie down next to me. All because I can’t take her for a walk. Is it my fault that my husband had to travel out of town for two days? […]
Thick-headed
You would think I might have learned something from the last ten months. With one income, we had to tighten our belts quite a bit. After the unemployment checks ran out, we notched them even tighter. I gave up the extras that I probably should have given up from the […]
Coriander coconut chicken
London Grill Singapore: Kalamazoo We went on a date Saturday. Our first one in months. Because, ahem, my husband has a new job! So, yeah, it was high time we had some adult conversation uninterrupted by food throwing and tablecloth pulling. Although those forms of dining entertainment are certainly welcome […]
