I can't believe (s)he's late! Midnight is more than reasonable a curfew! I'm so annoyed. Give an inch, they take a mile. I hope there wasn't an accident. Were there drugs at that party?!? You can't even text? Why can't you text? Are you injured? Did you forget your keys? Are you outside too hesitant … Continue reading What parents think when their kid doesn’t make it home by curfew

David Bowie and Fame Right
Last Friday, we played a Spotify station to celebrate David Bowie's 69th birthday. Less than three days later, he was dead. I guess that's how it goes. We never know how long the journey from birth to death is really going to be, do we? I can't claim to have been the biggest Bowie fan … Continue reading David Bowie and Fame Right
Holidaze 2015

It was a fair compromise and followed our simple ham dinner from the eve before perfectly. We were all relaxed and able to enjoy … Continue reading Christmas (being) present
Some thoughts I’ve been thinking
I'm kind of a blunt girl at times. I can cushion a blow when necessary, but I tend to speak pretty plainly. I don't like being misunderstood. That being said, I don't appreciate coarseness in anything other than ground pepper. During the past few years, I've grown increasingly repulsed by the contrast between public generosity … Continue reading Some thoughts I’ve been thinking
3 things 3 years later
I smiled today because I got to wake up and spend time with my 10 year-old son. Since his dad and I divorced almost five years ago, this hasn’t been the case every single day. On the mornings he isn’t at my house, I miss starting the day with a hug from him, but I … Continue reading 3 things 3 years later
