Well, I can't tell you why, but for me, the only thing that works when I wake up and can't go back to sleep (and it's a regular thing for me) is to get out of bed and go lay on the couch. Don't know why the new venue works, but I'll be tossing and turning in my perfectly quiet, comfortable and dark bedroom and when I go out and lay on the couch in the living room with the porch light shining in my eyes and the itchy afghan my mother-in-law knitted, BOOM, I'm asleep every time. No drugs, no angst (except for hubby's, who thinks I hate him).

Who Needs Sleep
backfromthebeachomgzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Everywhere I go today, I am stepping over laundry baskets and suitcases. I think they are reproducing, like tribbles. We didn't take that many suitcases to the beach in the first place, did we? So why are there so many damn suitcases now? Suitcases. Suitcases!...
Gas fireplace. We got one this fall. Best guarantee evar that the power won't go out!

84 Hours
The worst part, at first, was the boredom. Or maybe the lack of coffee. No, definitely the boredom. When we woke up on Saturday to discover we had no power, I immediately groaned at the prospect of keeping the snowed-in kids occupied without the television. And then I groaned again, wistfully t...
I'm really glad you all got some heat! I was wondering if you just turned around and went back to Jamaica! We had our power out one January for 10 days because of a killer windstorm (but I bet you never saw it on the news because, you know, Seattle is nowhere to the news) and it was hell. Not even any water (10 days with NO FLUSHING except with a bucket.) Good luck!

Life at the Overlook Hotel
Obligatory Kids Out Cavorting In The STORM OF THE CENTURY Photos When you're only three feet tall, two feet of snow is downright magical. Once you're over five feet tall, it's mostly a pain in your chapped-up ass. Especially if you are like me, and thus woefully unprepared for this sort o...
We smoked our turkey in our new $800 Traeger pellet smoker/grill. Everyone hated it. Smoked. Is. Not. Thanksgiving.

Or, The Crazy-Eyed Peacock Octo-Turkey Bandit Finds a Home So. Thanksgiving happened. Time to put the food where my braggy mouth is. Photos, confessions, and plenty o' dorkwads, ahoy! If there's anything better than homemade piecrust, it's husbandmade homemade piecrust. I asked Jason...

I've been sitting here all morning -- yes, actually physically here, in this virtual white space of my publishing platform, it's kind of like Tron -- trying to think of something to write about. And having a bit of trouble. I'm tired, I'm congested, I've just discovered that this "parent-teacher...
I did it in the hallway outside my room at the Atlanta Omni hotel. In front of men. And didn't have pregnancy as an excuse. So now "don't make me laugh" is a serious threat from me.

A Story That I Will Never Ever Tell Anyone, Except Perhaps the Entire Internet
I just left a comment on a friend's blog -- seriously, like five minutes ago -- and the comment involved one of Those Stories. Those Stories are the stories that are too embarrassing to tell on my own blog. Obviously, I don't have many of Those Stories, because I don't have much shame. It's been...
Can't believe they didn't give you any warning! I spent a sick day in bed watching a Throwdown marathon, Bobby loses most of the time. It would be sad if he won and probably not good TV. "Hey here I am, famous chef, here to humiliate you. Surprise!" If you haven't eaten at Bobby's Mesa Grill, it is well worth it.

THROWDOWNUP with Amy Storch
In my long and illustrious career of bothering minor celebrities, I have: 1) Swiped fried calamari from Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. 2) Screamed IMABIGFAN!! at Ted Allen outside a wine festival while waving a commemorative wine glass at him. 3) Ate fondue with Project Runway's Laura Ben...
