I’m sorry to be short on words here, friends, but time is of the essence. I have a 5 pm wedding to attend and I’m having second thoughts on my wardrobe choice. Help a girl out? Here are the detz: 5 o’clock wedding in {casual to a fault} Tucson. Current temp is 97 degrees. Ceremony… Continue reading Fashion Poll

ten things i succeeded at in 2011
What with it being the season of resolutions I thought it fitting to look back to 2011 and list some of the things I actually got right. It wasn’t easy. Seems coming up with things I ought to improve upon is a much easier task. That said, looking at my list, I guess I didn’t… Continue reading ten things i succeeded at in 2011
Unsaid Fred
Jayce has officially been in kindergarten for three weeks now. The first two were all laidback and recess and snacks and then they went and sent homework this week. For reals. This guy: I can’t help but think of him as Unsaid Fred. He’s this totally blank canvas that Jayce is charged with turning into… Continue reading Unsaid Fred
On A Life Uncommon
As far as weeks go…the last one wasn’t particularly high-ranking in my book. Jeff was out of town again (Orlando, this time), which is never fun. And while he was gone I had a run-in with a 60-something Hellians Angel who–I kid you not–very purposefully threw his ABC gum at my car. ABC, as in,… Continue reading On A Life Uncommon
Unchartered Frontiers – Appliance Edition
I live in a relatively new house (built in 2005), which has relatively new appliances (circa 2005 or newer). With these relatively new appliances come all sorts of bells and whistles, the likes of which–if I’m being honest–confound me. For example, when we first moved in, I called the builder’s customer service department because, for… Continue reading Unchartered Frontiers – Appliance Edition
Cozumel Dreamin’
Have I ever mentioned that I’m not so much a cold weather kind of gal? I’m not. Eighty degrees finds me thriving while winter months leave me holding my breath, waiting for warmth. We’re supposed to hit 80 this week, for the first time this year. And here I am, holding my breath. And dreaming. … Continue reading Cozumel Dreamin’
If
Lately my mind keeps being pulled to the ifs. The plots in the novels I’m reading, the estate planning software (unopened on my desktop) and topics on Oprah have my mind wandering. Yucky ifs. …if I end up in a wheelchair. …if I get Lou Gehrig’s disease. …if something horrific wreaks havoc on our life… Continue reading If
Panic In The Skies
Hi friends. Sorry about that brief delve into topics better left for the sides of trailers. I made him promise never to “surprise” me with a post again. If he does I might just leave him at the door-stoop of aforementioned trailer. Let the creepy old man have his way with the hijacking husband. Moving… Continue reading Panic In The Skies

Back To School Battlefield
Dear Target Store Manager: Hello Mr. Manager sir. It’s me. The mom of four who visited your store today. I know you’re probably busy ironing your khaki pants and red shirts so I won’t keep you long. I just wanted to send along a helpful hint that may save you a few dollars in the… Continue reading Back To School Battlefield
31 Going On 90
I’ve been saying things lately that make me feel old. They do more than make me feel old actually. The fact that I say them is enough to qualify me. Not five minutes ago, these very words came out of my mouth: “I’m not running a diner here.” I said it response to Kennedy when… Continue reading 31 Going On 90
