Welcome! It’s warm and sunny here in SundayLand, is it not? Also, did you just get back from church? Being that it’s Sunday, I thought maybe you had. Or perhaps you just had a Sunday brunch? Or a Sunday walk with the family? Better yet, did you just have a…Continue Reading

Just Watch It
My contribution to Absolutely Banana’s “Make Me Laugh Mondays” is earnest, funny, sweet, head-scratching, ridiculous. But in the best way possible. We Are the World In Japan Now I ask you: do I really need a Sunday’s Playlist with that kind of melodius goodness?
Saturday Snippets
Last night, our friends celebrated their five-year wedding anniversary with a party. It’d probably be cuter if I showed them together. There were other kissy pictures too. But because I made them do this 500 times and only one of the photos turned out, this is what we get. …Continue Reading
And A Great Swarm of Bees Shall Arise
I’m driving home from work today when I notice a little bee clinging to my driver’s side window. Now, I don’t like bees much, as I don’t prefer spiders, or any other insect that is an insect so I have to force myself to stay calm, because even though he’s outside the car, we…Continue Reading
Final Answer
Thanks Deborah, Matter of Fact Mommy, Rose, Jenn, Mommyrella, Vered, Steph and Angela! For those who left their input after the event I attended last night, I’m glad you agreed with everyone else…and Mommyrella…next time, I’m going for the tights and the jewelry! Loved that! Angela: I like the boots, too. But the dress was…Continue Reading
Wardrobe Challenged: Please Help!
OK, should I go with the round-toe pumps? Or the boots? Coat yes or no? I’m wearing the dress to a “cocktails in historic places” get together and most people wear vintage. Like, heavy duty vintage. We’re talking pillbox hats, flapper duds and pancake makeup. So last question: do…Continue Reading
Just Got Off the Phone
Right when I finished the post below, my friend called to say she’d just been diagnosed with thyroid cancer. Please send happy light rays into the universe on her behalf. Her attitude remains positive and she says a simple surgery and some radiation should kill the disease, but she has two small children…Continue Reading
Blah, Blah, Blah
My throat hurts, my kids yell, my head aches, my nose swells, my eyes burn, my uterus thickens. Also, I’m tired. In addition, I planned a Mom’s Night Out for my mommy group at a local wine bar and I’m not company-worthy or conversational. Thirdly, I didn’t understand Paranormal State on Monday night and…Continue Reading
I Don’t Got Much Today
Toots spilled water everywhere this morning and when I asked her to mop it up she said with disdain, “That’s grown-up business.” Indeed it is. Grown-up business. Yesterday I signed an agreement that added 12 hours a week to my work schedule, which is already chock-full of 20 freelance hours and water mopping. Then,…Continue Reading
A Soft Place to Fall
“I think you need to get her on some medication,” he advised. “Something like phenobarbital.” Phenobarbital? Isn’t that for extreme mental patients? Or the drug of choice from “Valley of the Dolls?” But I just nodded. “OK, Dad.” I hoped my acquiescence would signal him to stop. It’d been a long 24…Continue Reading
Sunday’s Playlist: All True
All these songs mean something to me. None of them are random or afterthoughts. Each offers specific insight into the emotions that shook me this weekend, then left me to crawl on the sand of my husband’s shore. That doesn’t make sense does it? It does to me.
Dad’s for Easter: The Photographs
First, there’s the bacon. The drinking before noon. The themed centerpiece. The themed bathroom. The cook, the baker, the bacon grease maker. Unphotographed: the crumbs, the lectures, the eggs.
