I’m back in the kitchen making dinner every night and I�m not complaining. It’s actually fun buying real food and cooking real meals, flipping through cookbooks, attempting new recipes, introducing more vegetables at every meal. It’s been a long time since I did this, a long time since I wanted to do this. For me, […]

Beginner Yoga
I did it for the first time. I popped a Yoga for Beginners dvd in and followed the instructor through thirty minutes of poses and breathing and I’ve got to say, it kicked my butt. All that ‘soften’ into a pose is a lot of work. Trying to breathe is even more work. Trying to […]
Eggplant 911
I need help. Veggie 911 kind of help. The eggplant I cooked tonight was horrible. Disgusting. So gross I couldn’t eat it and I tried. I even threw out the first batch and started over and tried cooking it again, a different way. It was still bad. There must be another way to cook eggplant, […]
Snow Angel Hell
My kids have got to go back to school. That’s all there is to it. I love snow, and I love how pretty it is here when it’s all white and glistening and white and powdery and white and icy but enough is enough. If I read one more article about how 2006 was the […]
That Time of Year
It’s that time of year for the big annual award shows. Golden Globes are this coming Monday. Oscars are around the corner and I’m putting it all out there for Mother of The Year 2007. I confess, I’m totally lobbying for the Mother of The Year award for 2007 now. I know it’s only the […]
Gecko Love
Yes, I was the one that bought the Gecko for my son Ty a number of months ago because he 1) begged and pleaded, and 2) he used his own money. Except for the constant shopping for crickets, taking care of a Gecko has been relatively easy. The waxworms do splendidly in the fridge, even […]
Resolutions
I don’t make New Year’s resolutions as they seem to me just one more thing that needs to be done, and I’ve enough that needs to be done without starting another list. Of course there are things I’d like to change–eat more vegetables, preferably the dark leafy kind, give up my aspartame habit, work more […]
The Kranks
I know where they got the name the Kranks. The Kranks are people who are COLD and TIRED and NOT HAVING FUN. Was I shouting? Oh, yes. I was shouting. I’m KRANKY. And that’s even with the power back on. Because it only just came back on and I’m THANKFUL but having been made to […]
Frosty
They say it was the storm of the century, maybe the storm of two centuries. The wind took out so many trees and the trees took out so many power lines that 1.8 million people lost power in Seattle last Thursday night and I’m one of the 240,000 people still without power Monday night. The […]
Holiday Spirit
Don’t you just hate it when folks start out by making excuses and defending themselves? I know. I do. But here’s my disclaimer–I’m not depressed. I’m just snarky. I’m, oh, busy and feeling hectic but not in a bad way, so please gentle readers, do not despair nor worry for me. I am actually really […]
