Friday Fashion Challenge

April 30, 2009

I may have mentioned before that I’m a wee bit challenged in the fashion department.  Torri (who is a 14 y/o fashionista) is eons better at the whole mixy-matchy thing than I am.  That’s not to say that she and I see eye to eye on all of her picks.  Take, for example, these little [...]

Honey, I Have a Headache

April 26, 2009

Seriously.  I had the mother of all migraines settle into my poor mistreated head this weekend.  It started on Saturday morning when I was on my way to Target for a quick errand.  I’m one of the lucky ones whose migraines are preceded by what’s called an aura – a brief period of disrupted vision [...]

Taking A Moment

April 23, 2009

A couple of weeks ago I called the small business owner who cleaned our windows last spring to schedule an appt.  The man with whom I spoke didn’t sound familiar and so I asked if he had recently bought the business.  He proceeded to tell me that the former owner had “passed away.”  I was [...]

April 20, 2009

Weekend In Review.

April 19, 2009

I’m baaaaaaaaaaaaaack. I hope you’ll excuse my absence as of late. And I hope that you’ll excuse me in advance when it happens again. I’m still working on some hefty manuscript changes in hopes that I’ll get it published at some point in the not so distant future.  Those creative juices tend to zap my [...]

Just Heartbroken

April 13, 2009

Cass has been a part of my life for nine years now.  And in those nine years I’ve become accustomed to the nuances of parenting a child with special needs: translating for people who can’t understand her, looming disasters that can occur if I take my eyes off of her for even a second in [...]
