Historically, little boys have dreamed of becoming fire fighters or cowboys while little girls envisioned themselves as nurses or teachers. What is not often acknowledged, however, is the virtually universal career ambition among the preschool set. Show me a four year old and I will show you a budding hair stylist. If you have had…
Happy New Year! I realize it has been ages since I posted but I plan to rectify my negligence in 2007. I have a great story to tell about something my almost 23 year old son did recently but that will have to wait until tomorrow. In the meantime I wish you all (both? how…

Autumnal Dysphoria… I read this phrase on another blog and thought it a perfect name for what I am feeling. We’ve had a lot of *stuff* to deal with lately including my aunt’s diagnosis of cancer and the death of another relative, not to mention that David has been away this week on a business…
I must be a bad, bad girl… That’s the only explanation I can come up with. I think the saying is really “no rest for the weary” but I grew up hearing my mom say “no rest for the wicked”. And I must be one wicked woman, although I always thought it would be more…

We survived a week in the Marigny…
Note: I have already shared this story on an email list and decided to reprint it here. David and I stayed at a timeshare just a block from the French Quarter in Faubourg Marigny or what is often referred to simply as “The Marigny”. It’s a cool, quirky, offbeat sort of neighborhood but has been…
Getting ready for winter… We’ve had a little taste of cooler weather which has made me realize I need to quit pretending that summer is eternal. Despite my ongoing plans for decluttering my home, I do still think it is important to stock up on essential supplies for the winter. A few years ago we…
One Year Ago Today…
One Year Ago Today… (note: I wrote this August 29th, one year after Hurricane Katrina. I was in California at the time and unable to access my blog so here it is, a bit late.) Certain events touch us in such a way that they leave an indelible mark on our souls. Those are the…
