The Harry Potter series of books finally ensorcelled my daughter last week over Spring Break. She has watched all the movies (in fact, I'm sure we have Harry Potter to thank for her utter lack of hesitation about wearing her new glasses) and I figured she just needed a jump-start on the books, so we … Continue reading Grittier Resurrection Stories

“I Can See Clearly Now…”
"I can see clearly now, the rain is gone; I can see all obstacles in my way. Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind--it's gonna be a bright, bright sunshiny day!" ~Bob Marley, I Can See Clearly Just before my kids' birthdays last month, my Ex dropped them off with a note that Elena … Continue reading “I Can See Clearly Now…”
A Bug in His Ear
My hubby's got a bug in his ear this week, and I'm excited to see him excited. I think the bug itself hopped onboard last Friday or so, when his boss asked him the loaded question: "What are your goals working here, Keoni?"

The Reluctant Fashionista Springs Forward

Particularly if one's clerical activities fall outside the realm of traditional church-choir stuff (more on this in "Confessions of … Continue reading The Reluctant Fashionista Springs Forward
(Used) Lions & Bunnies & Bears, oh my!
Since my first birthday, I've had this stuffed bear I call Toots. Well, I've always called him a bear, but his physiology really does defy taxonomic classification... I'm not sure whether the tail and belly button (both features added by my Grandma at my demand) would clarify or confuse the question of precisely what type … Continue reading (Used) Lions & Bunnies & Bears, oh my!
