Happy New Year!!

In a few short hours, we’ll be saying goodbye to 2005 and hello to 2006. UNREAL. The years go by faster and faster as time goes by. This has been an amazing year for me and my family. Some of it has sucked, to be sure, but overall, I cannot complain. [...]

House of Blues

Music has always been an essential part of my life.  It’s always around me.  It’s about as important to me as air, sex, food, family, and friends.  As a result, I made a decision the minute the stick showed two lines with Duck that my children would live a  life of music.  I wouldn’t force [...]

Reunion

Yesterday I saw a friend of mine whom I haven’t seen in over 10 years. Well, actually, I saw her 9 years ago, but she was in a funk and so was I, so it doesn’t even count ’cause we barely spoke to each other. Surely I’ve done worse (RELAX, freakshow, [...]

Notes

Notes:

Happy Birthday, my brother.  Sincerely.  It’s my brother’s 35th birthday.  Tear it up.

Having the flu at Christmas sucks ass.  Getting it the day after Christmas is better.  Marginally.

Ex lovers who have remained friends will just have to understand if I don’t answer the phone.  You’re on my time, baby (but, I do wish we could have met up – you still [...]

Beauty

So, this morning I woke up and looked down at my bed and smiled. I was wrapped up in something beautiful - a new silk quilt made for my by Velma. She told me the story of the quilt, the story of the squares and how she came upon all these lovely [...]

Quote of the YEAR!!

Okay, folks, just in time.  Here it is:
 
"As long as I can keep my penis on my body, I’ll be rich!!!"
          - Duck, 12/22/05
 

And so it was …

So here sit 4 tired, crabby boys. The twins and their mama come by for a visit today and all of the 4 billion Thomas the Tank Engine friends came out, as did the Bob the Builder stuff, and the game of Upwords, until finally, a movie won out.
It was a nice [...]

the twins are coming

The twins are coming today, along with their mama, my dear friend.  And for a brief second or two, their father and grandfather as well.  I haven’t seen these folks since my friend was 6 months pregnant with the twins - it’s been 4 years!
 
Of course, the basement won’t keep any heat, which sucks [...]

Yummy OM

 
I love this book. It’s full of simple yet deep meditations. Read them one at a time, read them all at once. Read them from beginning to end, read them at random. Works blissfully along with a daily physical yoga practice, but without one, too. Even if you cannot stretch [...]

Festive!

Last night was my husband’s company Christmas party.  This morning, I am hungover.  Not terribly.   Not sick or spinny or sweaty or anything.  Just ugh.  The kind of ugh that makes you want to eat 47 Taco Bell bean burritos and drink orange juice until your bladder thinks it’s vacationing in Boca Raton.  The kind [...]
