I had this post all written out (in my head) about the Lamy, New Mexico, train station, where we departed, and the Los Angeles train station, where we arrived, and how different they are . . . instead I'll just show you a' [...]
Number of comments: 4 Way back when, in the middle of winter (a word I don't even want to say right now, it's so pleasant), and when it seemed like winter had lasted about three years, I thought, I should check the calendar and see when the next time is that we could leave. [...]
Number of comments: 4 Little side note: The blog. It needs evolution, does it not? I mean, not "THE BLOG" as in the media form. THAT is in a perpetual state of evolution. I mean THIS BLOG.
That's the problem. That's been my whole problem lately. And it hadn't occured to me' [...]
Number of comments: 5 So Heather was on the Today Show today! Which rocks and she totally deserves it. And they had footage from a BlogHer conference. Guess they've been holding onto that for awhile. And Mir and Kristen and the SV Mom's Blog lady was there. All deserved.
It's been two months weeks since we started the winter break. Things happened - long drives to faraway states, screaming (in a good way) cousins running around together, Santa came, etc - and then a week back here, wherein we actually, for once, made some' [...]
Number of comments: 5 Did I mention we had both my parents-in-law - AND my mother - coming to visit AT THE SAME TIME - to a house that we haven't, technically, in any possibly way, unpacked?
(We all survived despite tripping on unpacked boxes, and luckily the in-laws get along great so' [...]
Number of comments: 4 (Oh gawd. Did I miss yesterday? I missed yesterday. So much for NaBloPawMoGoJo. Shoot.)
It's Saturday, and everybody deserves a story on Saturday. How about about New Mexico? Life in this strange little back-water highly historical-in-a-500-year-old-Spanish and also Native-American-for-longer-than-that kind of way place?
Maybe because we made plans, at the beginning of the month, for me and the girls to go to California for a weekend at the VERY END of the month. And all month, you know, I was waiting. Mostly because we [...]
Number of comments: 4 1. We are moved! All of our things (mostly) are in one place now.
2. Sadly, that means it is all HERE. Piled up. In boxes. All around me. I constantly feel the need to unpack things and then - where will I put them? Oh the agony. [...]
Tiny Person has turned 3 now. Making Little Big Girl about 5 1/2.
Tiny Person and I are at Sonic. Tiny Person: We're ordering a Sad Meal. Me: A Sad Meal? We are? Why? Tiny Person (with grin on face): It's not a Happy Meal...
Me: Wow! Did you notice that incredible shower? Spousal (looking incred-ulous): Uh, . . . no. Me: I mean, yeah, the shower stall is miniscule and everything.("Everything" meaning: Gross). But the water pressure! It was unbelievable! Like a geyser right on your head! I haven't had a shower like' [...]
Number of comments: 6 What I wrote on the way home from BlogHer to entertain myself. It worked.
In the little town where we live – have I mentioned I’m kind of a city person? – if I were, ever, to talk about someone online in a negative way – and [...]
One time, in junior high, we had this assignment in English to make a film strip. (Remember those? Anyone, anyone? (Buehler?) They were these individual film squares - in stripes - hence the name - and you could show them one square at a time [...]
Number of comments: 3 So! I haven't been very honest lately. Have you noticed?
Where are those funny Krisco stories? Where's the complaining about living in a tiny town? (Here's a reminder of what I used to say: TARGET IS AN HOUR AWAY.)(Oh, and also: And there is a large group' [...]
Number of comments: 7 There are all kinds of Milestones you are supposed to track with your children - when they walk, when they talk, when they speak in sentences with more than two words at a time.
You are supposed to note them to have relative ideas on their development. But that's' [...]
Number of comments: 4 Me: Now honey, while you're gone, I'm really going to want to talk to you. Will you call me every day? My daughter, age five: Mommy, I'm really going to want to talk to you too. (pause) But I don't think I can call you every day.
Number of comments: 3 Tiny Person (age 2.5 and a smidge) went through a brief phase - maybe two or three weeks worth - where if she didn't like what you were saying, she'd say, "Whaaaaaad?"
And it wasn't an Are You Nuts? kind of What. It was more an I'm Pretending I [...]
Number of comments: 5 I have this amazing post coming. Really, I do. It's all about life, and this song I heard, and how it's followed me through time, and what's happening now. But I have to find snippets and quotes and commercials and clean up the writing and oh gosh. And you know [...]
We went down to Santa Fe tonight to have dinner with some friends from our days there.
Both the other women were friends from our Mom's Club. It's amazing how fast that time went - at the time it seemed so slow - caring for young, really young, babies. [...]
We went off to California (yea! again!) last week, for three stupendous reasons: - to see my new niece (welcome to Planet Earth, Baby L! We love you already!) - to have a second-opinion eye appointment for Tiny Person - to attend my college reunion
Little Big Girl: Whoa! She's beautiful! (image of Brook Shields flickers on our tv screen) Me: Yeah, she is. She used to be a model. (pause) She's mommy's age. LBG: NO WAY!!! Me: Um, yeah. You don't think she looks my age? LBG: (Face stricken in fear - she [...]
Holy Crap and I am not kidding. Blogger locked me out! I know, can you really complain about a free service? I guess this is what entitlement feels like. WHAT?! You're taking away MY FREE THING?!!! HOW DARE YOU!!!
Anyway, carrying on. I have found my way back in. [...]
[...] 
So we went here
Oh. So worth it. 
So I was just hanging around my house, unpacking, picking up, and look! Look who showed up!
