Right now it's about 10 am on Monday (which, my friend so perfectly said at our New Year's Eve dinner table, "is the worst week of the day!") and I just sat down for the first time all morning. As I walked into my house, I was greeted by a family friend who saw the stress on my ...
I mentioned on Monday that this has been a really unusual time for my little family, filled with hills and valleys (I likened it to a mountain, before, but I will make it simple, tonight). I wrote about how on Sunday we did things like Build Bears, eat popovers and lose our son in the mall ...
I can't believe that it has been four and a half years, almost to the day, since I wrote this silly little post about my sister and the musical Grease. She had sent me the cutest text message and so, because I kept this as an online diary of my life, I blogged it. And I can't ...
Yesterday was a big day. My son woke up late, as a treat, and my daughter followed me into his room to change his morning diaper. "Today is the day!" she beamed. "I know! Today is the cookie party!" I answered, referring to our plans for the special Pollyanna party with our best friends. "No!" She cried. "Today, Bubbie ...

Well, it may not be our thwarted big family trip to St. John, but I'm cozy, under a blanket, listening to my main man's music, working on THE NEW WEBSITE and OMG do I have a story for you as my big premiere. I literally could not make this stuff up. Stay warm and stay tuned.
This morning, as I straightened up my kitchen, I found an old picture that I had developed; It was a photo of Ernest Hemingway, aged and bearded, writing with a pen on a legal pad. *** Recently, I found a journal that I had kept as a child. In it I had proclaimed that I wanted to ...
This was our lullaby tonight [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLMotU8Tu9E] I had Sir Elton sing the baby to sleep, as he just welcomed his own new baby into the world. His new son is named Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John. And little Z.J. Levon was born on a Christmas day. No, seriously. He was. Coincidence? I think not.
I was singing in a family talent show, as K and I were performing our now infamous duet of "Suddenly Seymour"; I was about to play Cranium, which K and I would win, for the very first time, triumphing over my previously undefeated parents; I was in St. John; I was blissfully unaware that the next morning would bring me some "unexpected ...
Last night, after my hot date, I lapped up some vanilla ice cream with hot caramel sauce, got into my pjs, and announced to my family that I was ready for bed. My dad implored me to stay downstairs for a few minutes, so that he could play me a song that he wanted me to hear. So began an ...
