A snowy day! A blustery, snowy day! Well, it’s not much snow, but it was a warm December and early January, and some of us will take what we can get. Though I would also take more snow, please. It is early mid- January, not quite mid-January, but definitely no longer early January. And that [...]

The Year is New
January 3rd, 2012 · No Comments · Endless Blathering, Holidays, What I Did Last Weekend
2011 is dead! Long live 2012! In my job, I regularly plan for future years. Writing spreadsheets or negotiating fees for three to five years out is normal, so in my head it has been 2012 almost since last July when our fiscal calendar changed over. I’m already planning for 2013. The fact that it [...]

All The Holidays
December 21st, 2011 · No Comments · Endless Blathering, Holidays
I have the smell of onions and garlic in my nose this morning because I woke up early to make sweet potato chili for a family party at my house tonight. I put it in the Crock Pot for the day. It’s the first time I’ve used a Crock Pot unattended, and it makes me [...]

Trees
December 12th, 2011 · No Comments · Endless Blathering, Holidays
The Christmas tree is up at home! As I posted on Facebook, it was a real pain in the ass, of course. On a high shelf out in the cold garage, where the lights are currently both burned out because I am far too lazy to replace them. It took all of three minutes and [...]

Winter is Here
December 8th, 2011 · No Comments · Endless Blathering, Holidays
These are the shortest days of the year, these days right now. Two weeks before the solstice, and two weeks before Hanukkah, and two weeks before Christmas. Light is such a big part of these celebrations, but I never think about what it might be like to celebrate these light-centered holidays south of the equator [...]

Lovely Birthday
December 2nd, 2011 · No Comments · Endless Blathering, Photography
Some pictures from my birthday below. It was a beautiful day of blue skies at fifty degrees. I had a special breakfast at Uprise Bakery; did some shopping (mostly on much-need layering pieces during a big sale at Old Navy, but still- it felt like a birthday splurge); wrote some long emails; took the dog to visit another dog [...]

Molly Snapple’s New Age
November 29th, 2011 · No Comments · Endless Blathering, Holidays, What I Did Last Weekend
Tomorrow is my birthday. Somehow I am going to be 34 tomorrow, which is a bit surprising to me, but then a lot has happened since I turned 30. A lot! So I guess I should well believe that it has been four years since that day. Which it has been. I’m taking off work [...]

Thanksgiving Week
November 22nd, 2011 · No Comments · Endless Blathering, Holidays, Travel
Hooray, Thanksgiving week! I am trying to get myself into the mode of getting Christmas things done, because I have done little to nothing in preparation of presents and cards and all of it, and there are things to do. I think I have the idea of the cards sorted this year. Instead of making [...]

The Week Before Thanksgiving, Somehow
November 17th, 2011 · No Comments · Endless Blathering, Holidays
My weekday evenings are getting over-scheduled these days, and it’s hurting this week. Tonight is my night off, the only night this week without something going on. While I’m very much looking forward to going home and not doing much at all, I’m still wracking my brain for whatever it is that I’ve possibly overlooked [...]

Halloween Parties and Party Prep Parties
October 28th, 2011 · No Comments · Endless Blathering, Holidays, Photography
Halloween weekend! And it looks to be a busy one, too. My costume is together, but I need to conjure up some Halloween party snacks and some food for a BBQ on Sunday afternoon, and I’m drawing a blank so far on anything creative. I guess I don’t need to be creative, but I’m invited [...]
