When You Are At Your Dad’s

Your dad and I split time with you. Every other weekend you go to your dad’s, and he and his girlfriend get to do all the things over at their place that we used to do here (that’s how my wicked imagination makes it feels anyways). But I am grateful because you get to have your [...]

My Neighbors Went On A Diet

Last month Neighbor Laura and her husband Aaron (Mr. Laura to you) told me they were trying out the Engine 2 diet. Now, the word “diet” makes me leery, but hey I caught some flak myself this year when I started to make gluten free choices, and knowing what foodies my neighbors [...]

The Thing I Want Most for My Birthday Is Stupid and Frivolous

Confession: I want a bike for my birthday. Just like a kid would.

Last summer in my quest of self discovery and fear conquering, I rode a bike for the first time in years. I once had a white and hot pink Huffy with a hot pink banana seat which [...]

Walk This Way

A few weeks ago I saw my Colorado photog friend Rick had posted on his Facebook page that he was at the nearby airport about to go up in on an aerial assignment. I cheekily wrote “Take a pic of my neighborhood!”

So he did and he emailed me the photo. Neato! My godmother, [...]

Confession: I’m small enough that I can fit into XL youth size tops so I scan the kids aisles sometimes just for me for shirts and jackets, proving more and more than The Kid and I are marching towards a shared wardrobe.

Fire and Ice

I went for a walk around nearby Coot Lake in Boulder County. I’m running a 5k here in April as part of the Dash n Dine series. I love how the Colorado sunset set this tree ablaze with color against the icy blue sky and lake. February looks [...]

Killing The Cable

Confession: I’ve killed the cable.

I lived without television all through college; I was never home even if I had enough money for it. Then I lived without cable TV because it was a luxury when there were diapers to buy, so we instead relied on rental movies [...]

Keep Out

The Kid handed me this as we exited her school from the afterschool program.

“Can we hang this in my room when we get home?”

Oh reeeeeeaaaallly.

And so it starts.

The Kid has always been very affectionate. This year it has been less [...]

Thrift Store Thursday

Before I had a driveway to shovel snow off of, I had a snow shovel.

We were living in a tiny two bedroom apartment near downtown Longmont and I loved walking around the historic West Side neighborhood. Lovely homes. Reminded me of my hometown in Pennsylvania actually, [...]
