Some time ago about my thoughts about home and what that means to me. In that post I included the following picture of my Grandma and me, when I was 5 months old. I just came across a journal of Grandma’s from 1975 and she talks about the day this was taken. (Special thanks to my…

Some of you may know that my husband and I watch movies a lot and we borrow them all from our local public library. I’ve blogged about it at the 365 mark and at the 500 mark. We started mid-January 2011. Since we just pasted 750, specifically 752, and I figure it’s time for an…

I eat this delicious veggie soup when I am feeling like I need to get everything working again. It’s surprisingly filling and especially when it’s as cold and blustery out as it is right now it’s comfort food for my soul. And it’s energizing too! It’s basically chicken stock, celery, onions, peppers, red chile, carrots,…

I noticed this picture and it made me giggle. Note the tightly permed hair? It was adorbs. This is approximately 1997, about a year after we got married. Al’s mom took us to Jamaica for a week. Aren’t we just super cute?

I’ve always thought pigeons were rather ugly, but while on a walk, my daughter and I saw a flock grazing in a field. Grazing? What do pigeons do, peck? Well anyway, you get the idea. As we walked closer they all flew away and then resettled at a safe distance. In the early New Mexican…

I kind of love to run. Sort of. Actually, the truth is, I am a fair weather runner. If it’s windy, forget it. Too cold? Forget it. Too dark? Forget it. I also don’t like to run alone. Yeah, I know, lots of obstacles. But I manage to run fairly often, in phases. I attribute…

Have you ever lost something? I suppose you have. I have. I hate it. If there is one feeling I detest more than any other, it is the loss of control that comes when I know there is absolutely nothing I can do about it when something insists on staying lost. I know the lost thing…

We had a great WordPress meetup tonight at WESST with some new folks and some familiar faces. A pretty wide variety of geekery was covered, including custom fields, multisites, caching, server config, themes and Bootstrap, and make.wordpress.org. With a dev group like this I expect some pretty awesome things to come out of our local…

A few months ago, some mom friends and I decided to start a mom’s group. For the un-initiated, this means tea/coffee, food, kids playing, chit-chat about this or that, no dudes. Yes, we exclude males. Well, at least grown up ones. Males of the offspring variety are allowed 🙂 We meet once a week, after…

Coolest candy ever, in the hands of my 7 year old. He was delighted with the chocolate rocks some friends gave him for his birthday.

So, I spent the last week looking at the Atlantic Ocean. And I really really liked it. I liked it a lot. I liked it so much I wanted Al and the kids to get on a flight and come to me, instead of getting on a flight to come home to them. But I…

I finally finished El colonel no tiene quien le escriba. Laugh if you will, but I got to the end and thought there were pages missing. There were not. The jokes on me I guess 🙂 Apparently the classes I thought I slept though in high school, the ones where the professor droned on and…
