Now: The End (or not)

It’s the last day hour of June and the last day of my feeble attempt at NaBloPoMo. I have done this before, and it typically leads to a long lay off due to burn out. After blog365 I could barely contemplate blogging. It was awful, and by now I really should know better. Perhaps doing [...]

Now: What a Long Strange Trip It’s Been

Tomorrow this blog will be five years old. It started on another platform (Blogger), with another name (Three Dogs and a Baby), for the sole purpose of sharing news and photos of my new baby with family far away.
I never imagined the new world this blog would open. It’s been a gateway to so many [...]

Now: Late Again

More wrestling with WordPress. More like one step forward and two steps back. Almost ready to call in reinforcements. Almost.

Now: Sources of Inspiration

November wasn’t enough. No. NaBloPoMo became Blog365 (which sucked the will to live right out of me a couple of years ago) and now there are monthly themes with which to torture oneself. I have been deleting the monthly emails about the themes in a nearly religious fashion, including the one that arrived for June.
Then [...]

hair today, hair tomorrow

Tomorrow has come to be known to a number of Pittsburgh bloggers as “hair day.” We’ve been invited by Divinity Salon to come on over for cuts and color and loads of fun. Sounds great! And yet…
Since moving to Pittsburgh, only one person has touched my hair, with the exception of my wedding day. Can [...]

Secret’s Out

See what I have to say about a rather sensitive subject over at The Mom Slant.
Of course, I did some googling and what I found is that my urethra may need a hammock. A hammock? Seriously. That’s not quite the push present I had in mind, but probably a lot more useful than a pair [...]

thank your first commenter day

I’m seeing tweets about thanking one’s first commenter. I had to look to see who the lucky winner might be for this blog. My money was on my sister Suzy but no, it was Matt, a former co-worker. Matt is responsible for my relocation to Pittsburgh, my husband’s relocation to Pittsburgh (a month after me), [...]

one oh oh oh

Here it is. Post 1000. I should look back and do a quick review but I really just want to move forward (and drink!). But a bit of looking back is apparently required. I offer here just a little. We’re not going to be doing any of that wallowing thing. Ahem.

I started this blog on [...]

enormous changes at the last minute

I’ve been a bad little blogger. Not that I haven’t been thinking about it. This post has been rattling around in my brain for weeks. It started in late August when I knew the family was in for some schedule changes when Oliver started at his new school. I started trying to modify my sleep [...]

recovered

Much as I wanted to hold them hostage in my backyard (with beer, of course), Sarah and Devra went on their merry way to Canton this morning. Last night’s meet up at AlphaLab, hosted by iTwixie with produce donated by Isidore Foods, cupcakes from kdiddy, blueberry zucchini fabulousness from Abby, and pastries from….I dunno. The [...]
