It's oh so quiet.....
In an effort to be more productive in my life, I have turned down the volume on Facebook. I love FB, unapologetically. It's problematic, but has been a great resource for me, professionally and personally, especially with all the moving. However, because I've cultivated such fascinating people, it can take me one hour in a sitting to get through my ( Read more... ) -
What a day! It's not even noon!
*Gym was excellent. So hard. I love feeling fit. I can tell I'm getting firmer and stronger, because the fat I do have jiggles more noticably. Like, as everything underneath firms up, the fat is more..... definitively fatty. Mmmmm......fat ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
Adam's been out of town since Friday afternoon. I've been having a great time with the kids. It's been relatively easy. But today, oh man, I'm wiped out. I'm easily overwhelmed with the news, with FB links..... like, I have no buffer for bad news or the state of the world. And I'm having all sorts of feelings about my writing and spiritual ( Read more... ) -
Despondent
I have to not house-stalk. There is literally nothing now that we even want to look at. Where did all the houses go??? The ones that do come up sell in about 8 days. Holy crap. This whole thing went from laid-back to stressful. Blech.
*Deep breath*
We will find the right house for us. I just need to be patient. -
omg
Adam wants to go look at this. I took one look at the kitchen and said HELL NO. It's also out of our price range. But he wants to look at it. I don't like this house at all.

5 questions from Keypike
1. You are given an opportunity to travel back to visit yourself the day before you give birth to B. What do you tell yourself? Seeing as how B was born 6 weeks early, just getting the heads up would have been helpful. Letting me know we'd have an easy birth but a month of NICU hell might not have been helpful, but maybe would have? So hard to say ( Read more... ) -
2013
Major, major changes are afoot. 2013 is going to be rather different year than I envisioned and yet I look ahead with as much anticipation as ever. I feel like I've taken a polar bear dip - an icy plunge into a frozen lake and come up gasping for breath but with crystalline clarity. -
Follow up on Les Mis
I spent a good 24 hours obsessed with Les Mis. I had forgotten just how important that story/musical was to me. My gut instinct is to admire Valjean for his heroic and selfless love. But he is a Christ-like martyr and I realize I how unsatisfying that is ( Read more... ) -

I saw this in the theatre today with Nosce. I'm so glad I went. I'm so glad I went with her ( Read more... ) -
A year ago
I've blogged about this elsewhere - in two places, actually. A year ago today we left Wales. Astrid, born in Lampeter, will never have a single memory of the place. Bennett still talks about it, but him missing it is rare these days ( Read more... )
