January 2, 2009

Last year I made a list of resolutions.
Last year I broke all those resolutions.
I am thinking that maybe resolutions aren’t really for me…

I don’t have anything against improvement.
I don’t have anything against goals.
I am anti-list.
I am just not a list person.
Is she really going to blame her lack of resolution-keeping on not liking lists?
I have [...]

Merry Christmas to you…I think.

December 24, 2008

I love Christmas cards.

The getting more than the giving.
Years ago, prior to children I was a Christmas card snob. You know the ones. The people that expect that the cards should be signed, NOT PRINTED. The people that expect a personal note, NOT A GENERAL GREETING. The people that have WAY [...]

O Tannenbaum! Gesundheit!

December 11, 2008

Blog-Stedman and I have celebrated 18 Christmases together. 15 of those have been celebrated under the plastic boughs of a faux-tree.

The first few Christmases we had a fake fir for financial reasons. Once we were a bit more established (Christmas #4) we jumped in our Cherokee and drove to a local tree farm.
I love [...]

It was the perfect gift for your daughter, my 4 y/o niece.
I picked it up and it looked at me.
I jumped a little.
