Thanks for the kudos on my pictures in the last post! Remember back when I made New Year’s Resolutions? Yeah, I didn’t think so. It was awhile ago. On my list was improving my photo skills. Well, I’ve been doing a little research, a little mooching tips off others (thanks Sherine and Becky), and watching …
Still doing laundry. Is it ever really done? Vacuuming and mopping. Check. I should be preparing for my Friday art lesson right now but just can’t seem to commit to sitting down to organize my sorry self. Instead I’m planted here with random thoughts running through my brain. You know what I mean? You have …
Do you ever get Distracted? There are days that I feel like Billy in The Family Circus who sets out to do something only to be distracted by everything else going on that he never quite accomplishes that thing he set out to do in the first place. Take for instance yesterday. As I woke …
Remember when I posted that I ordered The Bar Method Workout after my hip sister Ashley told me it was the hottest thing in San Francisco since sourdough bread? And how I promised to let you know how I liked it? Well, after a few gentle reminders by some sweet commenters, here’s my review: The …
I’ve had my eye on MamaKat’s blog for some time now. Every week she lists a few writing prompts. You pick one, write about it and post it on your blog on Thursdays. I usually decline the assignment. It feels too much like homework. There are some things I miss about school but homework is …

Sometimes I wonder why I do the things I do. Especially things that go against my nature. My nature being INTROVERTED. Some examples that come to mind: Trying out for the high school field hockey team my junior year when a) I’d never even picked up a field hockey stick, and b) I didn’t have …
I’m in an exercise rut. Well, not exactly a rut. I can’t motivate myself to get out of bed at 4:45 every morning and drive 20 minutes on the cold dark lonely streets to get to the gym. And it has nothing to do with this class I suffered through a while back. I need …
… is good for the soul Mom. I had a great time with my sisters and my mom this weekend in San Francisco. We celebrated Ashley’s first baby with a shower thrown by her husband Nick’s family. Nancy gave Ashley a bag of Nick’s baby clothes she had saved for him. In it were these …
Quiet. Shy. A Peacemaker. A Pleaser. That’s how I’d describe myself growing up. Since having 4 kids, being their advocate when dealing with teachers, medical specialists and school administration, and moving around a lot, I’ve come out of my shell. My family would agree that I’ve become opinionated. And fortunately (or not) I’m not afraid …
