What’s new with me lately?
Tuesday night Charlie picked up our wonderful friend Simon at the airport. Simon’s from England, and apparently he controls the weather. Because last month they had record-breaking snow there. And only three days after his arrival, we had –
But first, let me tell you about one day later:
Wednesday night I picked [...]

Okay, so this is me on a Thursday morning. Waiting for snow…
I mean “SNOW”
…that forecasters predict to arrive this afternoon. Or perhaps this evening. Or more likely, next YEAR.
But I’m not bitter.
Even if my friends in ENGLAND have more snow right now than we’ve ever gotten, well, EVER.

I hope you are having a adequate time with your puny little lives.

You know how “they” always say that having dinner as a family is crucial to family unity? I don’t think this is what they had in mind:
Dinner conversation last week, in which we began talking about Hannah’s homework: making her own musical instrument.
Me: Hannah, we should name YOUR instrument like we did LC’s two years [...]

Two weeks ago, I visited The Extraordinary Ordinary, the blog by my friend the Extraordinary Heather, to see this:
“The insides of my cheeks are really fat.”
I… didn’t know what to do with that nugget of information.
So of course I read the post. And I learned that that Heather? She’s an odd one. (Hair in only [...]
