It's a very sweet thing that my husband brings me a cup of coffee every morning before I've even sat up. I suspect it's also an act of self-preservation on his part. I am a person who fuels and functions on caffeine. Coffee all day. Makes me happy. It should probably be listed among my … Continue reading Step Aside, Monday. This is a Job for COFFEE!

When You Wait till You’re Married (List#3)
In company with dinosaurs and dodos, we have to list the wait-till-you're-married man as extinct, do we not? I honestly believed so, at least as it applies to this country and culture... but I'm here to report that the subspecies is not defunct. I met Jon last year. And I married him this February. And then we started our life of … Continue reading When You Wait till You’re Married (List#3)
If God Acts as Travel Agent, Don’t Argue the Itinerary
I dreamed last night that I was back in Safe Haven, the psych-facility where I recently spent ten days, and the dream felt comforting. The place is well named. My cell phone was one of the things I missed most in there---not for calls, but for Google (I hadn't realized how many things-a-day I look … Continue reading If God Acts as Travel Agent, Don’t Argue the Itinerary

Something to Prove (or… “MOMMY can change a tire!”)
My hubby and I were having a thought-provoking conversation the other day, about the (sometimes) delicate balance between care-taking and independence. He knows me well enough to understand that I have a sort of fierce pride in the knowledge that I can take care of myself. In the year that I was single, I bought … Continue reading Something to Prove (or… “MOMMY can change a tire!”)
Summer, Synchronicity, Sewage, Stones, & Super-Powers
My "Radio Silence" over the last week is (I'm happy to say) the result of having been quite thoroughly engrossed in the activities of a first-week-of-summer-holidays with the kids... I started to write a few times, but never got as far as hitting "Publish," so here it is, all at once...Sat, June 2: Summer Holidays, … Continue reading Summer, Synchronicity, Sewage, Stones, & Super-Powers
