Just a few (sday?) Tuesday things:

1. My husband is out Happy-Hour-ing with his co-workers. 2. I'm at home nursing a cold.* 3. I've heard people say that honey is healing. I'm using that logic to justify my hoovering of peanut butter and honey by the spoonful. 4. Today, my daughter said, "Mommy, you look just like you. I look just like me." 5. I'm ...

Out of all of the furry things that are happening around me right now,

I'd rank these 1 and 2.

Love (notes) and marriage.

This evening, as my husband was putting the baby to bed, I went down to the basement to go through our belongings. I am cleaning things out because (gasp!) we are planning to move. But that's another story for another day. So in an effort to purge all things (I) deemed unnecessary, I took a few moments ...

Dancing on my (our) own.

So, today, we had a moment; a little chunk of time during which we were feeling crummy, feeling blah, and a bit overwhelmed. Maybe it was a case of the Sundays, or a post-champagne-funk, but it wasn't fun. So, obviously we had to dance it out. To Robyn. And really, it made things better. Because, at the very least, I can delight in knowing that, if nothing else, we have now ...

The beginning.

As our journey forward together commences, let's stop for a moment to remember where we've been. And....GO!

Easy like.

When you go on a wri-atus like I had (have?) it isn't so easy to know where to pick up. We have much catching up to do. But, I figured that Sunday morning snuggles on the floor, in matching pink pjs, set to the tune of Joni Mitchell was not a hard place to start.

I miss writing.

I do. I miss it terribly. I miss writing like it's a limb that's been asleep and I'm just now shaking it awake; It hurts a bit, it's still uncomfortable, and I do not yet think I can bear weight on it. I miss it so much that I ache. But it's been hard to write. Not hard because life's ...

Who else but that baby sis

will send a late night email, headed "THREE VERY IMPORTANT THINGS!!" that details three separate accounts of the goings-on of some of our favorite Bravo-lebrities and Bloggers?!(!?!?) It should also be noted that: This morning, we planned her future wedding song, talked about the Sex and the City re-run that we had both, coincidentally, just re-watched and came up with ...

So, not only is she a singer,

and not only is she wild about music, but this kid of mine is now a songwriter, evidently; For this afternoon, as we finished up our lunches and listened to some tunes, she broke out into an original song, "Murry, Eat My Chicken Fingers" to the tune of "Rocky Raccoon". So, yes. She will be on tour by next ...

Sweet little thing.

Early morning, on a walk to the bakery. The bells on the shoppe door jingled and sang as we escaped from the sunny heat to the cool, sugary air. We held her up to the displays; row of confections all covered in pastels and powdered sugar and gold leaves. She pointed to what she fancied: One Blueberry Macaron, please. (And a Madeleine, just ...
