Melted Chocolate

Today is obviously Valentine's Day. This morning I made my declarations of love to my significant others and went on with my day. I had to clean and prepare the house for my daughters and their friends coming to spend the weekend. My thoughts weren't running along the lines of all the flowers, candles and . . . → Read More: Melted Chocolate

Weird…

It was weird. Last night, when the power flicked on at about 10:40 pm, my mood fell. I kind of felt like I didn't want it to end. My husband and I were involved in a game of chess and poking insults at each other, then dissolving in laughter. (I can't tell who won because . . . → Read More: Weird…

Camping!

It’s official! We’re camping! Power on East Sandwich Beach went out about 8:30. It took us an hour to get the generator going, hook up the heat and I can use the microwave and charge the cell phones.

Game On!

The Super Bowl is about to start. No one super cares who’s playing. It’s just a great excuse to have a party and make some terrific food. It’s almost a semi-holiday.

Taught By Tulips

Tonight, after a harrowing day of taking my daughter for lasik surgery yesterday, I wanted nothing better than a quiet evening in my chair, with a glass of wine, after a nice dinner. (It all turned out fine even though we sat in traffic due to an accident, arrived two minutes before the appointment because, . . . → Read More: Taught By Tulips

That’s True, BUT…

I firmly believe that the relationships between mothers and daughters and fathers and sons are sacred. They reach far, far into every other relationship in our life. They determine how we will find and treat a spouse. They determine how we will raise and treat our children. They determine how we will behave in close . . . → Read More: That’s True, BUT…

iLuv

Some days are just filled with love. Not big, huge starry-eyed I'm falling in love love, but teeny tiny fondness love for little ordinary things. This weekend, as I cleaned, relaxed, and did artwork, I found myself saying "I really love and appreciate ______." to my husband four or five times. I asked him to . . . → Read More: iLuv

Once Again, Live From Foxboro

Today I am at the AFC Championship game with my husband and daughter. I gave her my ticket and hung out at the CBS Scene while they went into the game.

No Impetus

I am at the Braintree T stop just outside of Boston waiting for my daughter's train. She just let me know she's going to be late, so I sit here thinking about how much better I feel today after a rough week.

Everyday this week has been hard. Extreme muscle fatigue and mental lethargy . . . → Read More: No Impetus
