Will write for yarn.
This is the view I have when sitting at my desk every day typing. Today the sky is black with storm clouds and it’s cold, but that gorgeous tree insists that it’s spring. Happy Earth day, everyone! And also, let’s not forget that the earth is here every day, mmkay?
Last night, I was informed that one of Grandaddy’s cows had gone to a better place. Or not.
Ethan: “One of Grandaddy’s cows died. Um, I mean he went to God. And now he’s in prison.”
Now that’s capital punishment.
I’ve been learning the skill of mindfulness for the last few months. This means being completely focused on the moment at hand, and really doing whatever it is you are doing.
So yesterday while driving home from New Jersey, I listened to The Seanachai, rocked out to D.R.I., Violent Femmes, Bob Dylan and Lou Reed (I’ll [...]
I know it is Saturday. Let’s call it solipsism Saturday and I’m telling myself it’s Friday. Since I’m the only one who counts, I can do whatever I want.
While visiting my mother this week, I set off to my favorite LYS, which is not really my local yarn store, but it is semi-local to my [...]

This is part two of my Carnival of Play post, inspired by Annie at PhD in Parenting. Unfortunately, my floor-cleaning hasn’t happened [...]
Hug your children extra hard today, and be very, very glad that you can.
This sweet girl, daughter of blogger Heather Spohr, passed away yesterday. The March of Dimes works towards healthy births and healthy babies. Help them win the fight by making a donation in Maddie’s name.
Update: Many, many people donated money in Maddie’s name, [...]
I got an unexpected call yesterday from a parent of one of my daughter’s friends. He didn’t realize he knew me at first, he was so absorbed in his purpose. It seems the city where I live has a zero tolerance drug policy in its schools, which means if a student commits a drug offense, [...]
