Way back in May, I was sharing some long-ago photos (Throwback Photos 1 & Throwback Photos 2), and at the time, I promised a Style Icon post as well. I thought I had a bunch of images, but then when I started writing, I only found two pictures! At first, I started to post it … [Read more…]
Things have been a little hectic with gearing up for the holidays. At the moment, we’ve yet to have both kids home simultaneously, and there’s a lot of traveling hither, thither, and yon over their break. It feels like the combination of a late Thanksgiving and organizing for these trips has made me more discombobulated … [Read more…]
I don’t know how all this started. That’s wrong: I do. I was scrolling through my (old lady) Facebook feed and saw two recipes in a row that looked so gross that I laughed and took a screen shot, thinking I might mock it here, with all of you. I don’t even remember what that … [Read more…]
We did something unprecedented for Thanksgiving this year: Cute W and I split up. With M in Iowa and J in Massachusetts, neither of them were up for trying to fly over the short-and-hectic holiday weekend. As she has since starting college, M caught a ride with a friend to her grandparents’ house in Kansas … [Read more…]
I am still on a full news hiatus. If there’s anything happening at all in the world of politics, I only know about it accidentally. I know I’ll have to pay attention again at some point (and that the fact that I don’t have to be on personal hyper threat alert is pure unearned good … [Read more…]
For my birthday, we had a fancy date. First, we headed to Proctors to see Hadestown. This was a stroke of luck because I’m on the Proctors mailing list, and they had a flash sale, $30 tickets for a couple of different shows if you bought them on September 30th. When I saw that Hadestown … [Read more…]
So, I’d been collecting links for this for a while now, and I’d originally planned to contrast the delightfully non-toxic masculinity of Gus Walz, Doug Emhoff, and Mayor Pete & his Chasten with the Republicans and this Theo Bro situation, but I never got around to it and now it is moot because we are … [Read more…]
I’ve been on a homemade cracker kick lately. Mostly because I am a bit of a cracker snob, and I like crackers that are packed with delightfully nutritious ingredients, but those crackers are just super-expensive. And making crackers really isn’t too difficult. The last time I hosted our documentary group, I decided to make a … [Read more…]
I voted yesterday. As I biked by the massive collection of political signs just beyond the boundaries of the town hall, I found myself enraged by a couple of signs which are utter and complete bullshit. These cries of “Protect Girls Sports” are a message opposed to Proposal 1. I turned my ballot vote over … [Read more…]
Things have been a bit hectic lately with quite a bit of travel hither and yon to catch the last games of M’s soccer career. One thing that means is that we’ve been traveling beyond the confines of our reliably blue state, so I’ve been leafletting like a 1940s pilot over Nazi territory. I don’t … [Read more…]
