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), [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Crawling out of my foxhole kitchen just briefly to update you on a little get together scheduled for tomorrow in Pittsburgh. Two fab bloggers, Devra and Sarah, are visiting us as the first stop on their roadtrip to BlogHer. (I’m not bitter. I’m not bitter. I’m NOT bitter.)
In less than 72 hours, kdiddy and I [...]

We hit two milestones today. Eleanor started talking about bedtime while we were in the car tonight. That should have been my first clue. When she starts says, “No bath! No bath! Brush teeth!” she is thinking about bedtime. She said she didn’t want any dinner. She says a lot of things that are not [...]

Reports of my death have been slightly exaggerated. In fact, I’m back and ready to blog regularly again. I didn’t realize how much Blog365 took out of me. I don’t think of myself as a “real” writer. I just open up the Blogger window and spew. I don’t agonize or even edit very much. (Yes, [...]

As Blog365 winds down, I’m looking ahead to January and to taking a break from blogging. I’m also taking a break from everything else and going to a dog show. Chances are excellent that trip will provide some blog fodder. There’s usually a train wreck or two that could prove worthy.
My blogging plan for 2009 [...]

My sister Suzy has a long history of extreme generosity, yet she still manages to surprise me regularly. A large box from Suzy arrived on Wednesday. I opened it and saw it was filled with wrapped presents. Thinking I should probably leave it as she had packed it until Christmas, I closed it again. Fortunately, [...]

After two years of doing NaBloPoMo, and surviving reasonably well, Blog365 seemed like the next logical step. Hey, I love a challenge. Okay, maybe not so much, but it didn’t seem all that daunting when I started.
Here it is, day 301, and I’m still going. Just 64 more days. Piece of cake. A little thing [...]
