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 [...]

So much for NaBloPoMo June. Looks like I missed a couple of days. Can I just say it was a long weekend, the week started off crummy and leave it at that? Thanks.
Today the weather finally changed and the humidity went off to bother somebody else. It’s going to be close to 50 degrees tonight. [...]

As this blog begins year six, Eleanor began ballet class. You couldn’t convince her she isn’t already a ballerina, but now we have the shoes and leotard to go with the attitude. That was a story in itself. I found out around 10 am Friday morning that we were, in fact, registered for the class. [...]

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 [...]

World Cup: USA won. England won. USA won the group (first time ever). Woo. Still living in a house divided. This won’t end well.
Tennis: Go see what’s happening at Wimbledon over at Draft Day Suit.
Earthquake: It was in Canada, but felt in Pittsburgh.
Pirates: I had even more to say over at Draft Day Suit. I [...]

Most mornings it is getting brighter at 7:30. This morning it was getting darker. Rain fell just as Oliver and I headed out to the bus stop. The first spots on the driveway were bigger than quarters. I foolishly thought the bus would come quickly, before we were soaked to the skin. Rain, lightning, thunder, [...]

No, it’s not my birthday. It is definitely not THAT BIRTHDAY (apparently the only photo I took on my 40th birthday…go figure). I’m talking about the new iOS 4 for my iPhone.
Here’s what I love:
unified inbox – Life-changer. I have four accounts on my phone. Holy hell…no more flipping between them.
multi-tasking – It made me [...]

I spent the morning in a board meeting, where I learned more about an updated branding effort for the non-profit I work with, in anticipation of an important milestone in its history. I see the potential for linkage with another organization I like. And all three of us are going to be in New York [...]

I promise to back off the garden photos after today. The color and volume of blooms on the hydrangeas are out of control. WordPress is still being temperamental but watch for a widget of flickr photos in the sidebar soon.

In addition to the hydrangea from yesterday, my daylilies are about to explode. It’s amazing what a little compost and worm poop can accomplish.
For two or three summers my hydrangeas have appeared to be teetering on the edge. Mostly dead…yet slightly alive. Producing a few measly flowers. Last fall I tried throwing some compost and [...]
