Choose your own adventure: Wattses’ pizza toppings
06.16.09 | Permalink | 3 CommentsAround here we LOVE pizza. It’s Zoe’s number one request for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack most days. Frozen, make our own, or restaurant-bought, we definitely eat our share. Roughly twice a week, it goes something like this: Me, realizing it’s getting late and we probably ought to eat something, sucking up my feeling of [...]

It was a rough day.
Joel made me a business card after overhearing my mutterings while trying to hang drapes in Zoe’s room. It made me laugh.

Surprise!
06.09.09 | Permalink | 2 CommentsFriday night I showed up on Amanda’s doorstep, and if she wasn’t surprised, she fooled me – I loved seeing her face and watching her jump up and down and squeal. After our hellos we decided to go in search of dinner. We walked to Vortex to split the Double Coronary burger – a ridiculous [...]

Start spreadin’ the news!
05.26.09 | Permalink | 5 CommentsIt’s transition time, and a lot is happening. One incredibly exciting development is that my sister is moving to New York in two weeks! I’m thrilled for her. It is going to be so awesome. I take a page from her book all the time – the get-up-and-go, can-do attitude is contagious, and when I’m [...]

Well, child…
05.03.09 | Permalink | 3 CommentsNow that Zoe appears to be free from the shackles of the Coxsackie A virus (which was hell on Earth, I’m telling you, and no, the name is not a joke), things are getting back to normal around here. By normal I mean that I am drastically less patient with her tantrums. And she’s much [...]

Little things
04.26.09 | Permalink | 4 CommentsI love when past Blake does future Blake a favor. It’s like she says, “Hey, life is hard. Future Blake might be really busy and need this done. I’ve got some time. Let me do this for her.” She is a real lifesaver sometimes. Throwing an extra roll of toilet paper under the cabinet, doing [...]

A cleaner pancake
04.20.09 | Permalink | 2 CommentsThis morning my sister and I had a goal: make a tasty and nutritious breakfast. I have been meaning to clean up my pancake recipe for a long time, and this was a great opportunity. What follows is what we did, and I’d say it was successful. Now if you’re like me and able to [...]

Free and easy
04.12.09 | Permalink | 5 CommentsSaturday we had no formal plans, so Zoe and I ventured to our old standby, the zoo. As is typical on the weekend, there was no parking, so we went the extra mile to the Holocaust Museum where there is a small exhibit on Dr. Seuss. We paid a meter, walked through the exhibit, then [...]
