Me Grim
It was just like a House Hunters International episode. Steve and I were strolling along the beach, holding hands, and then we came to an abrupt stop. I said, awkwardly, "So I guess we need to make a decision about... Continue reading

Local Time
When we came to this small town/exurb nine years ago we knew eff all about the place. Steve wanted one two many acres and liked the trees. I appreciated the illusion of interesting topography offered by the ravines (they call... Continue reading

Hit Publish Or Perish
As we drove to Family Dinner Out the other night Caroline endeavored to improve our collective minds by reading aloud in the car. The book was a child's guide to New Zealand (sent by relatives who are currently touring those... Continue reading

Every Moment Is Shining And Perfect
I pointed out the rounding thing to Patrick this morning and told him the internet suggested that maybe the quiz was looking for 0.7 or 0.67. He (coldly) informed me that since the question did not ask him to round... Continue reading

Little Miss Brightside

Steve Keeps Inching Away From Me, The Coward
Oh yes, or rather, oh no, it is definitely shingles. The red patch has resolved itself into a red swathe with bumps and I briefly contemplated clawing out my own throat as I tried to fall asleep last night. The... Continue reading

Oh Shi...
Many years ago I had a brow waxing debacle that started with half of my face swelling up and ended with antibiotics. I will always remember the party we attended that night and the stories I concocted to avoid explaining... Continue reading

Not Anti-Vaccine, Just Pro-Disease
Patrick came running over to me a few minutes after the start of his new tumbling session. "Are you sure I am in the right class?" he whispered. I asked if it was Tuesday and he confirmed that it was.... Continue reading

The Word Judgmentally Makes Me Nervous Too
I'm sorry but it is true. At the parties that I have attended for the ten-and-unders gifts arrived covered in giftwrap, nestled in tissue paper, and stuffed into bags. All three. Look, I'm not advocating for this method. I'm not... Continue reading
