When my alarm went off this morning, I didn’t want to get out of bed because I was so sleepy.  I was laying there thinking of a plan for when I did get out of bed, kind of to psych myself up for actually getting out from underneath the covers.  Listen, don’t act like you’ve [...]

Obviously, before I write anything else, there’s something from yesterday’s post about the predicament of y’all vs. ya’ll that I need to address: Somehow, in my hurry to finish blogging before I fell asleep at the keyboard, I neglected to mention a third category of y’all which is actually a personal favorite of mine: ALL [...]

Confession: it’s 9:04 p.m. on a Wednesday night and, now that I have Avi in bed (tip: never give a child sugar before bedtime), I’m also already in bed, likely to fall asleep whilst typing.  I must be living in the wrong decade of my life because, hello, aren’t your twenties supposed to be when [...]

And now, let’s continue from yesterday. – — – 13.  When I began grad school in 2006, I decided that, although I didn’t have enough money to suddenly buy all the Christmas decorations I might need to decorate my house, I could start finding a thing or two a year and slowly “build up.”  I [...]

I could write for weeks about everything I did over Christmas break seeing as I had over half of the month off from work (unbelievable, I know!), but it might be a bit awkward if we’re still discussing ornaments and gingerbread cookies on Valentine’s Day, no?

Oh my.  My, my, my. What was supposed to be a simple hosting company transfer for my blog turned into a big problem when the blog “crashed” during the hosting transfer.  I’ve spent several hours on the phone with three different hosting companies over the last four days (not to mention the 30+ emails sent [...]

And now, back to Christmas. MacKenzie’s class had a party scheduled for the last day of school and invited parents to come and help out.  MacKenzie’s dad had to work that morning, so Avi and I volunteered to come because who doesn’t like a second grade Christmas party? Okay, I didn’t just volunteer.  I begged.  [...]

1. I just had to look up whether it should be “laying” or “lying” in bed.  The verdict is mixed, but more websites said “lying” than “laying” so it’s settled.  Except for the fact that it isn’t.  And now I’m going to be laying (lying?) in bed trying to fall asleep tonight wondering which is [...]

Well, hello there. I didn’t mean to take so much time off from blogging during the holidays but it somehow just happened.  The holidays were an interesting time for me and, a lot of times when I’m experiencing new or maybe difficult things, I’m better off just writing in my diary instead of my blog.  [...]
