Shhh…

April 19, 2008

My dad and his (fourth, and very nice) wife are here visiting, so my blogging is taking on the nature of clandestine spy work. Well, without all the nifty cars and gadgets. Or the travel to European cities. Or the crafty disguises (although getting into pajamas and pretending to head off to bed, when I […]

Things that make a parent's heart pound

April 17, 2008

Tonight I watched Gone, Baby, Gone on DVD. I rented it last week, but have put off watching it because I knew it would be heavy and sad. (I read the book, by Dennis Lehane, a while ago and knew exactly what to expect.) A child abducted, a careless and screwed up mother, and lots […]

Whine and trees party

April 17, 2008

The Whine These last few days I could have posted nothing more than my grocery list and it wouldn’t have made much difference, since my freakin’, flippin’ server keeps tanking on me every few hours (or more often). To those of you who were able to get onto my site (and to even leave a […]

Birthday

April 15, 2008

Today, I’m participating in another writing prompt from Weekly Anamnesis. My post will offer my version of an event that my sister Ducky* wrote about in her own response to the same prompt, the word: birthday. Please read her story first, since her version of what happened is really the foundation for my own, then […]

Server problem

April 15, 2008

My apologies to anyone who has tried to get on this site this morning. Our server has had some problems lately, especially yesterday and today, and I can’t guarantee that the problem is solved yet. They used to have far fewer issues, but it’s gotten worse in the last 30 days or so. Anyway, I […]

Guess who fluttered by…

April 13, 2008

Hey, guess who I had lunch with today? …The lovely Christine, or flutter, as you may know her. We happen to live no more than two or three stone’s throws from each other, and we’ve been trying to make plans to get together over the last few weeks. My lack of an available babysitter has […]

The scent of a memory

April 11, 2008

I found it at the bottom of a drawer today, a small, purse-size bottle of a perfume I love, L’Instant by Guerlain. It was half empty–or half-full, I should say, since finding it was a simple, happy surprise–and must have been in that dark drawer for months. My larger bottle of the same perfume, my […]

Whew

April 11, 2008

Everything works now! Cynthia at  NW Designs is a genius. And, it should be said, a rock star. You won’t ever convince me of anything different. Now if only I could get my hands on a copy of the phantom post from last night, about my day of playing hooky and going to he movies […]

Glitches

April 11, 2008

I’m trying to work out a few glitches with my site right now–some content is missing, and some of my links aren’t working. Please bear with me while I (we) try to sort it all out. Thanks!

Redecorating

April 10, 2008

We’ve been a little busy around here, working on this new look. The credit goes to Cynthia at NW Designs who took the little smushed-up pile of ideas I handed her and turned them into exactly what I had hoped for. We’re still tidying up and tweaking a few things, buying a few throw pillows, […]
