I have never lived by the beach (which is a sad, sad thing) but I’ve always felt as though that is where I belonged.
And then I went here, and thought that this is surely where I belong: (Picture not taken by me…obviously) But I don’t live near either of . . . → Read More: Where I belong It became apparent to me on Monday, after a quiet dinner of sushi with the husband in celebration of my birthday, that I may be losing it. I’m not certain what “it” is, but I think it is slipping away from me. You see, I used to be so on top of things. I . . . → Read More: Have you seen my marbles? Anyone? I have spent the last couple of hours agonizing over publishing a comment to someone’s blog that may be viewed as somewhat controversial. I still haven’t submitted it.

In my spare time I’d rather read a book, hang with the family, eat, sleep, clean, exercise…you get the idea. But lately I have had this extremely strong and odd desire to craft. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I have . . . → Read More: A crafting we will go Good news! I figured out a way to get Claire to let me brush her teeth. Apparently if I sing “Popcorn Popping” like a clown on crack she happily opens her mouth and lets me brush away. In other news, she also came down with a nasty cough a couple nights ago.
