When I first met CCB, he told me he was Scottish. I heard those words coming from his mouth and my brain registered, “Ok, he’s Irish.” I mean, what’s the difference? Irish, Scottish, aren’t they all the same? Well, not to someone who’s Scottish apparently. Needless to say, CCB was [...]

CCB and I have had a long-distance relationship for a few years now, and we have discovered a few tricks for making it feel a little more normal. One of our favorite things is to watch TV “together”. We each record our favorite programs on DVR and then when we have time later, [...]
The Face of Lazy
Posted in Curiosities, Everyday, NaBloPoMo on Jan 20th, 2009
I may or may not have mentioned that I just came down off an 11-day work period. An 8-hour shift on the 8th followed by 12-hour shifts on the 9th, 10th and 11th, and then working from home on a schedule (average: 9-hour days) from the 12th through the 18th. As of yesterday, [...]
It is SO like me to write a post about an event that happened three days ago. It sometimes takes me a little while to process information and make sense of it, I guess. In any event, everyone has by now heard the story about US Airways Flight 1549 crashing into the Hudson [...]
Hey, wouldja look at that! Somebody didn’t get around to posting yesterday, thereby blowing the whole January NaBloPoMo thing to smithereens. I should be disappointed in myself, but you know what? I’m actually not. I had a busy day yesterday and didn’t get a chance. And if I start believing [...]

What Matters
Posted in Everyday, Mama Likes To Brag, NaBloPoMo on Jan 14th, 2009
Here is what I have learned about my daughter. If I am tired, she will be awake and quite focused on interacting with me. If I am hungry, she will say she’s not, and if I’m in the middle of preparing dinner, she will suddenly be famished. If I am in a [...]
Cookie Smuggling
Posted in Everyday, Mama Likes To Brag, NaBloPoMo on Jan 12th, 2009
I was talking to my Mom (who lives in Ohio) on the phone last night and she totally pissed me off. Well, not in a “I hate you” kind of way… more like a “My Mom is so clueless” sort of way. Ok, and before I continue, let me just say that I [...]
Five Reasons Why My Weekend Sucked
Posted in Curiosities, Everyday, NaBloPoMo on Jan 11th, 2009
1. My dog, Sam, almost found a new home when he ran away on Saturday. He was gone for over two hours before finding his way back to our yard. CCB and I were beginning to fret about how we would explain his absence to Lauren and Beth, who are ridiculously attached [...]
Black Cab Sessions
Posted in Everyday, Happiness is..., NaBloPoMo on Jan 9th, 2009
For a while now, I’ve been a fan of the Black Cab Sessions. If you aren’t aware of them, you really should check them out. These guys take a camera, put it in the back of a London cab, and invite musicians (some famous, some not so much) to ride along and play [...]
