  • I had to get up much earlier than normal this morning to go with P to work and pick up my car from the metro station. It was all the fancy business people going one direction and me, in my sweatpants, going the other. Good reminder that I love being a work-at-home sort of person.…

  • Have a great Thursday. I'm hoping to have more home kits available tomorrow afternoon. There will be a giveaway tomorrow morning and next week will be epic.

  • Yesterday was like watching a trailer for the season of spring. It was warm. Open up the window and wear a t-shirt warm. We cooked burgers and listened to birds and wildlife. It was the best trailer ever. The kind that makes you want to skip the movie you are about to see and fast…

  • THIS WEEKEND : We took a monorail to the future. We laughed. We cried. We sneezed. We sat at an all-you-can-eat-and-drink champagne brunch for over five hours. We gambled. We won money.

  • Hi, hi. I feel like I am coming out of a strange holiday haze. Sadly, I'm still jet-lagged. I can't wait to live on the same coast as the extended families. We had Paul's fam over for Christmas Eve and then celebrated very quietly at home on Christmas Day. In the evening, we went and…

  • Christmas Eve is the big one in our house. All of our traditions, all of our anticipation and so many of my favorite memories are wrapped up in this day. After 24 years of celebrations, I remember giggling with Robbie in church, racing lobsters, wearing fancy dresses and velvet hair bows above and beyond any…
