Home for the holidays. The very image can cause us to develop excruciating holiday back spasms, sometimes as early as September-because the cliché of familial holiday bliss has an evil twin: that of the dysfunctional family at its worst. For the legion of CDFs (Children of Dysfunctional Families), don't assume that you can't enjoy family gatherings ( Read more... )

First it was Thanksgiving. Clean home for guest, buy and fix food for guest, buy and fix food for Thanksgiving. Although I bought the huge 25lb bird my niece cook the bird. That was a break. So tired after five days of intense family time. Then the next week it was clean, buy and fix something for the boss to visit the Atlanta office. I wanted ( Read more... )

Had a wonderful time at E's birthday.  Was at this fantastic German food and BEER!  DARK, RICH BEER.  Got to see so many friends and the sweet baby S.  It was a joy to laugh so much and eat in equal measure.  Sunday was spent with family.  My niece has moved and things are up in the air for her ( Read more... )
