On the Road Again

Posted in Family, Holidays, I Need Wine Pronto!, Summer, Travel, tagged , , , on July 3, 2010 | 1 Comment »

Blog posts have been sparse, I know.  Believe me, I would love to be writing more.  I am just FULL of things to write about but no time or much Internet access.  (I am holed up in my Aunt’s attic office as I write this).  We left Colorado on Friday morning for a whirlwind tour [...]

ODH Prep Weekend: Photo Finish…

Posted in I Need Wine Pronto!, Unclutter your life in a week, tagged , , , , on April 26, 2010 | 4 Comments »

…sort of.  While not entirely finished, I did manage a Photo “really made loads of progress so that what remains is very manageable.” If you recall from Saturday’s post, step 1 of the “Unclutter Your House in One Week” is to spend the weekend prior clearing out and organizing “sentimental clutter” – photos, letters, cards, [...]

Short for, Nathan Bransford’s Blog Post Today Inspired Me So Much I Had To Write One Of My Own.  In the post, Nathan talks about what a writer needs most which, contrary to popular belief, is not talent but willpower.  It’s the hard work of forcing yourself to sit down and write when there are [...]

DONE!

Posted in I Need Wine Pronto!, Volunteer/Community, Works in Progress, Write-a-thon, Writing, tagged , , on March 5, 2010 | 8 Comments »

Check it out – I completed my thirty hours for the write-a-thon!  Never mind that ten hours of writing nonstop in one day is not the best way to go.  Never mind that I’ve probably increased my chances by at least 25% of getting whatever cancer is caused by sitting in front of a computer [...]

My Head Hurts

Posted in Children's Books, I Need Wine Pronto!, Rhyming, Works in Progress, Write-a-thon, Writing, tagged , , , on February 26, 2010 | 3 Comments »

I wrote for six hours today, so I am now officially one-third finished line with my write-a-thon goal.  Too bad I should be at the halfway point by now.  I’ll have to buckle down again for the next couple of days to get caught up and hopefully even ahead of the game.  I’m a bit [...]

Calgon, Take Me Away!

Posted in Family, I Need Wine Pronto!, tagged , , , on February 15, 2010 | 2 Comments »

Today I feel like indiscriminately taking half of the stuff in my house and throwing it away.  It doesn’t even matter which half.  Just take it so I don’t have to try to keep track of it, keep it clean, or put it away.  I’m tired of being responsible not only for all the people [...]

Eeyore has a Birthday

Posted in Childhood, Children's Books, I Need Wine Pronto!, tagged on February 10, 2010 | 3 Comments »

As if I hadn’t had my fill of hosting birthday parties in January, I held another one today – for Eeyore.  Every Wednesday I lead nine first-graders in a discussion of a piece of children’s literature as part of the Junior Great Books program.  I am very passionate about this organization because it fosters critical [...]

Birthday Weekend #2

Today my baby girl is 7 and as promised, she is celebrating with her first slumber party.  My house is now filled with four squealing little girls – before they’ve had cake.  I got out some board games, hoping they might be tempted to play quietly, but no dice.  For now I am tolerating the [...]

This is how my day went yesterday: 1. Wake up at 6:30 a.m.  Take Rocky out.  Wake Em up for school.  Swallow frustration as she dawdles through the morning routine.  Scream at her to grab her coat and backpack as she races out the door before the bus drives on by. 2. 7:45 a.m. Jay [...]

Zen, Interrupted

Posted in Family, I Need Wine Pronto!, Parenting on December 4, 2009 | 1 Comment »

I was going to write this sweet post today about the beauty of Boulder, how lucky I am to have such a fabulous family and that basically everything is just perfect.  BUT – right now my house is a mess, I still haven’t managed to get my Christmas decorations up, I have a months worth [...]
