Hmm, apparently I started this post at least a week ago. Except, I thought I’d finished it and posted it. In reality, I only wrote the post title. Whoops! Anyway, things here at home are pretty good. Ups and downs but nothing that makes me want to load up the car and flee. Today I…
Pro-tip
When you wake up in the morning because of an alarm, make sure it’s your alarm clock. Maybe, just maybe, it’s the phone, someone else’s alarm clock, or a dream. And then you can ignore it and sleep more.
Summer 2013
So, I didn’t mean to disappear. I didn’t really disappear at all, I was always here in the odd phone call, a random text, Facebook status update, or sometimes by showing up on your doorstep late on a Sunday with two bags of dirty clothes and no toothbrush. I’d started to live by the edict…
Not Broken, Just Bent

And that’s a wrap
Actually, it was a turkey on wheat with bacon, but who’s counting. And with that, another Restaurant Week comes to a close. Thanks for being such a sport. Ahem.

Monday: Sandwiches. Oh…
Restaurant Week: Saturday
So, Saturday we went to a restaurant down in the city. Very far in the city. Our house is 6-7 miles from the northernmost spot in the county; the restaurant was a few miles from the southernmost point in the county. The drive was 45 minutes each direction.

The Longest Week
So! Cheesecake City Restaurant Week has begun. We have tentatively scheduled a culinary adventure for every night between yesterday and next Sunday night. I say “tentatively” because we’ve given ourselves an out if work is too busy, too stressful, goes too late etc or if we’d rather just stay at home and eat pizza. Considering…
Oh, my
I just realized that one of my cousins is a grandmother (maybe more than one, I have some cousins I wouldn’t recognize if I were to see them). Granted, my mom is 49 years old the youngest of five children and the oldest of the grandchildren may be in their 50s but…Wow. The time, it…
