Chair Woman

 

Fugly, isn’t it?

I hope to change that this summer with the help of the creative evil genius of Lynsey Peterson. This lady saves chairs.

I became aware of Lynsey because she totally rocked being Room Parent of The Kid’s kindergarten class this year. Her emails filled my inbox with snarky [...]

Ask Me A Question

I recently added the formspring.me question widget thingy on the blog (see lower lefthand side, thank you) after seeing it on martawrites.com. I liked not only that she had it but uses her blog to answer reader questions. In a word: engagement. The former reporter in me just loves a good question. So here [...]

Serendipity

Confession: I love Longmont.

Which apparently is really uncool to say in Colorado when Denver and Boulder and all the mountain resorts are so close. But I’ve lived in some pretty dire places, so I know a good place when I see it. And Longmont’s really nice. Sure like any place, it has its seedy [...]

One and Only

I noticed a trend this year with the start of kindergarten: People would ask me if The Kid was my “only” or if I had “just one” child. And then I noticed how the innocent playground question stung me. Still does.

Attractive browns.

 

White picket fence. I like the [...]

Fruit Basket Case

I’d rather eat any vegetable over any fruit any day I’ve been this way since I was a kid when my birthday meal of chocie was green beans and a steak. But last year I did an exercise program where fruit was a regular occurence, but I [...]

Prequel

The Kid has relentlessly asked for months to watch the movie Avatar. And she’s watching it right now.

But what if she has nightmares? (she already talks in her sleep so what’s a few new plot lines?)

What about the inappropriate (fill in the blanks)? (she once told me “Shit is what you say when [...]

Inside the Dressing Room

Tonight I hit the Boulder savers thrift store. And I got to thinking about this blog post about Rules for Thrifting which got me thinking about the time I took my friend Denver Jill thrifting (that’s my nickname for her because I have multiple friends named Jill) because she “never finds anything” but we went and we totally [...]
