Life
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 [...]

Sixshty dah-yas!

Let me do this for her.” She is a real lifesaver sometimes. Throwing an extra roll of toilet paper under the cabinet, doing [...]

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 [...]

Patterns
Lately I have been thinking a lot about patterns, like routines, habits, schedules. How do you get over the hump to break a bad one or start a new, better one? I believe that one of the big differences between success and failure has to do with whether you’re able to barrel over that hump [...]

Domesticity, or, GetMeOuttaHere
01.12.09 | Permalink | 3 CommentsApproximately sixteen hours ago, I was so moved by the uncharacteristic quiet calm in our home that I tweeted. I thought I was being clever. Later Joel would chastise and blame me for precipitating the cascade of events that followed. After waking to an alarm this morning in an effort to get ourselves up during [...]
