Whew! What a week. We've had more sadness and overwhelm on our plates here than I care to reflect. I said goodbye to a woman that was the first person to be nice to me in New Jersey. She was responsible for this. It was awful and draining and there … [Read more...]

There was a story on the local news last night about a man who is going to graduate with the Columbia University class of 2012. That's a news-worthy story enough as far as I'm concerend. Ivy League graduates are impressive, no matter their backstory. … [Read more...]

It's no surprise to anyone who knows me to hear me say I'm easily Star Struck. Ask my sister, who nearly had to resuscitate me after hyperventilating over the Governor of Texas in an airport. (No, not THAT one.) I can't imagine if I ever met Corey … [Read more...]
Growing Pains

The clothes conversion always makes me weepy. You know the clothes conversion-the time of the year when you go through the drawers and closets and trade in current season clothes for future season clothes. When you're a parent, or at least for me, … [Read more...]
