“I found these while walking Alfie down at Steven’s land and thought of you… they were growing so valiantly I just couldn’t leave them!” the note that poked out from underneath a small white carton of – indeed valiantly – sprouting bulbs, read.
Felicity – my neighbour for those of you who weren’t here last week – is just about the most dearest lady I think I’ve ever met and as our time here extends, we are getting to know her better. Not only does she leave little presents for us on our… Continue

As a survivor of 20 years from breast cancer, I can tell you this noise is getting louder and not necessarily clearer. Like white noise, it tends to distract rather than inform. Like most cancer survivors, I found my tumor with a self exam, at age 39. I had 3 children, the youngest was two years old. I found my cancer while showering and within a few hours I was undergoing a biopsy a few days before Christmas.
Before New Years Day, I was in surgery for a mastectomy and soon was immersed in the… Continue

The Pilgrims Were Goth
I was surfing the internet looking for references on the Pilgrims and the first Thanksgiving.
While I am collage educated; my 3rd grade history is a little rusty.
While I was reading about the first Thanksgiving I realized something...the Pilgrims were the first goths.
Seriously.
I mean, look at how they were dressed.
BLACK.
No make up-that's where the pale look came from.
Lace up boots.
Salem....Witches.....
Need I say more?
So in honer of our first goths...I am havin… Continue

I remember when I was a kid, flipping through magazines, and in the back were all these totally cool things you could order by mail. There was serum to make your hair grow faster, shoes that could make you jump higher, Mexican jumping beans, and sea monkeys. And there were X-ray glasses. These glasses claimed to be able to see through anyone’s clothes, to what was underneath. Although you just KNEW they couldn’t work, there was a part of you that would hope.
When I was in the Air Force, and ther… Continue

I think I'm feeling old, how can my four year old pick up a remote and know exactly what to do but I have to sit and read the instructions or worst of all ask him how to do it. Although there is a little bit of me that revels in the fact that he still gets stuck on one game, not that I know what to do when he does come and ask. (rephrase that, he doesnt ask he simply yells with frustration) Continue

From my blog Domestic Digerati
So it is official. My kid has H1N1. Not only does she have it, but my husband has been sick with flu-like symptoms as well. I have been dreading this reality for a long time. Taking as many precautions as I could: frequent hand washing for all, bleach bombing every surface in my house, making the kids take immediate baths as soon as they came home from school, and plenty of fluids and vitamins. Wh… Continue
