I haven’t forgotten y’all. I’ve got LOADS [...]

And yet ANOTHER way for me to bring the conversation around to bodily functions. I swear, I didn’t even try this time. So anyway, my fellow former Cali girl Wendy at Weight What? participated in a gr8 meme full of 8s. And since I’m totally l8 in getting a blog post out and, as f8 [...]

Last night Charlie flew to London. He got there safe. And those of us who remain at home are doing fine SO FAR. Wishing we could go too, and of course missing him. But before we know it, he’ll be back. And since taking a plane trip always involves a road trip, our adventure on [...]

I don’t make a ton of verbal faux pas. But when I DO, they are earth-shattering. For months, anytime I thought of this one, I burst out laughing. It was either that or cry. Originally posted on August 20, 2008: We flew into London in October of 2005. I’d traveled a lot, but always to [...]

In Which I Make a Total Fool of Myself

Yesterday I wrote about my addiction to language. And how before our trip to England, I drove Charlie crazy by obsessing over everything related to the British and their form of English.
