Happy Tuesday, my loves. Are y'all as happy to see February as I am? Did our pal, the groundhog, see his shadow in your neck of the woods? My children are both having cognitive jumps, apparently. What this means is that their debate skills are forcing me to use parts of my brain that have … Continue reading Reading, Cleaning, Gabbing

Happy Days — My House Will Be Clean in Four Hours!
I hired a housekeeper last week. She'll be arriving to tame my filth in less than 45 minutes. Is there anything more humbling than having a gaggle of professionals who chose that profession because they like to clean, wade through your family's funk? I'd rather have a pap smear. It didn't help that one of … Continue reading Happy Days — My House Will Be Clean in Four Hours!
A Mini Update and Advice Gleaned from Jane Austen
Ah...Grief Happens...but so does joy! I've missed you guys! I have so much I want to share, but alas, I'm the type who thrives only if I get my 8 hours of sleep, eat my veggies and healthy fats, and move my ass on the regular. I've been quite busy with some of my other … Continue reading A Mini Update and Advice Gleaned from Jane Austen

Post-Holiday Funk
I feel strongly that I should warn you about the nature of this post. It's a whiney, first-world rant of the largest degree. Move forward at your own risk. I'm in a bitch of a mood. It started at 6:30 this morning when Wallace jumped on Pier's head. Piers slept in my room last night … Continue reading Post-Holiday Funk
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
We clap hands and welcome the Peace of Christmas. We beckon the good season to wait a while with us. We, Baptist and Buddhist, Methodist and Muslim, say come. Peace. Come and fill us and our world with your majesty. We, the Jew and the Jainist, the Catholic and the Confucian, implore you to stay … Continue reading Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Bonjour + Ciao Does Savannah
After my last two posts...I need a happy diversion. How about you? The older I get, the more I realize how a full life is made up of delightful and lovely, as well as gut-wrenching and horrid. There's also the run-of-the-mill. The mundane. The in between. I strive to embrace it all. Today I stumbled … Continue reading Bonjour + Ciao Does Savannah
Turmeric Smoothie
It's been awhile since I've blogged. Lots going on around here, but overall I'm feeling better. The Strattera must be working. I plan to write more soon, but I ran across this recipe and decided to post here, so I'll actually follow through and make it so I can write about it. In the meantime, … Continue reading Turmeric Smoothie
A Day in the Life of a Scrawny Chick With ADD Who Takes Controlled Substances
How's that for a title? Let's jump right in, shall we? I'm taking a respite from the meds that make my brain work, not exactly by choice. When I went to pick up my refill, I was informed that I hadn't had an actual appointment in six months and this would have to happen before … Continue reading A Day in the Life of a Scrawny Chick With ADD Who Takes Controlled Substances
