I'll have to check about the end of Oct. It's a bit of a crazy time for us.

Ha ha! Totally thought of our friend in gold... maybe I won't be so quick to mock him now! They opened with Murder in the City. One of D's favorites, too. After they played it, he turned to me and said "OK, where do they go from here?!" The answer of course was up and up and around and in and through and under. When you get a chance, youtube their a capella version of Down to the River to Pray. It was how they closed the show. I wasn't the only one crying.

You are totally going to be able to kick my arse when you get here!

Hooray! I love Mr. Magorium so much.

Dear Friend,

I was going to write you a letter today on the backs of old grocery receipts. Yards of scribblings in ink that will only disappear if you keep them in your pocket; leaving behind the random history of my family's eating habits and the price of groceries. This morning's oatmeal... Continue reading

Congratulations on your bundle of freak

Some good friends of ours are due with their third child in September. They're one of those maddening couples who refuse to find out the gender of the baby before it's born, making it very hard on the potential gift-givers in their lives. I am so proud of myself, though.... Continue reading

Happy Music Monday

So, I ripped off the "Happy Music Monday" thing off from Etsy's Facebook news feed, but it was completely necessary. Here's my happy music for today. The Hubs took off a few hours in the middle of the day and the Hooligan and I busted him out and went to... Continue reading

Good Grief

My dad was born June 11, 1946. My dad died October 5, 2008. Here it is June 11, 2011 and I can't not remember that this date used to be his birthday. He would have been 65 today if he hadn't died suddenly while recovering nicely from a massive heart... Continue reading

Crippling Inspiration

I just finished Enough About You by David Shields. I'm going to blame him for my lack of sleep this week. Whenever I get one of his books, I have to read it all in a wallop. He's a writer who defies genre - both overtly and covertly. While some... Continue reading

The Deep End

I've been faffing around with the idea of a blog forever and today's the day. Just going to dive right in. I'm a mom, but not a "mommy-blogger". I am interested in just about everything in the world and things that don't exactly interest me, at least provide some sort... Continue reading
