Hello? Telephone.

So I go a new phone. It is extremely fabulous, much like myself. But unlike myself, it is technologically advanced. Very. In fact, I started this post on the phone, while half-listening to Kid 4’s piano lesson. However, I didn’t finish it there. Because I couldn’t figure out how to navigate from one little section...

Blogger Hates Me.

I think it’s personal.
Defense: It’s not like we were married. We weren’t. I was with Blogger in a casual sense for about a year and a half. It was good. It was. We shared some laughs. We shared some tears, although to be perfectly fair, I was the only one crying. When it came time...

Wah-wah

That last post — I know, right? Could I be a better whiner? (Hey, we all hope to be good at something…)
Do you ever tire of being the center of your own universe? I’m just ready to enjoy being way down the list, that’s all. And it’s good. It is very good. And now I’m...

Choosing the Uphill

On my run jog I decided to do The Hills. It’s so not pretty to see me jogging up it, but it is a lovely part of these mountaintops. It’s up, then flat, then up, then flattish, then up and up and up, then a bunch of blessed down. And do you want to know...

And then it turns out that it was so totally worth...

Home Again, Home Again, Jiggety-Jig

And reunion was lovely. As a whole. A success in the following ways:
The kids who vomited were neither mine, nor in my room.
My children love their cousins, all zillions of them.
I have great sibs.
Want to hear some funnies? Well, here are just a couple:
“Just because I’m looking at you, doesn’t mean I’m having bad thoughts.”

Oh, But Joggers are Nice

And since it’s the start of a new month, naturally I have given myself a new goal. So I got up this morning and laced up my totally non-professional jogging shoes and went outside. Into nature. Before the sun came over the top of the mountain. (I know!)
And I went for it. Walked myself into...
