Whenever someone has died, my mother always tells me the same way. Before the words come out of her mouth, I already know what’s coming and my heart jumps as I wonder who it might be. The news always comes late in the conversation – close to when we get off the phone. She leads [...]

Two slices of bread and a tablespoon of ignorance

JP is the sandwich maker in this relationship. It can’t be denied, the boy has a talent when it comes to assembling various items between two slices of bread. But with a craving for grilled cheese and pepperoni and with JP buried in his take-home Civil Procedure exam this weekend, I had to pick up [...]

I am for shit when it comes to time management. Case in point: I just decided to bake a quick loaf of banana bread before going to bed. No problem – I breeze through the first steps and it takes me no more than 10 minutes to throw together the batter. I scroll down on [...]

Many apologies for the lack of posting – I’ve been without regular internet access (in the non-work hours, at least), so I haven’t been able to reliably string my thoughts together to slap on to the web for all you folks to peruse. As a kid, whenever I was stressed before bed about all the [...]

I am so not ready for the weekend to be over. I think those multiple abbreviated weeks (and accompanying long weekends) in November totally spoiled me.
