We is sooo ready for Haw-o-lean
It seems like just yesterday when I was a person who collected books on mid-century modern furniture and went thrifting for vintage Chanel and listened to local bands in small venues where the crowd rippled and pulsed and ultimately sweat all over one another.
But today, today I am woman that owns seasonal decorations. I […]
Mensa, but for idiots
I have discovered the true meaning of the word ‘antique’. Antique , as it is used to refer to a home that is over one hundred years old, is really just a fancy way of saying “I was bat-ass crazy when I bought this heap and now live in a home with faulty plumbing, lead […]
together at the top of the world
It’s so hard to write when the weather turns fair. All but the most frivolous of thoughts find no purchase in my spring-sick brain. Back in high school and college (an eternity past) this same fever would paralyze me each Spring.
But somehow my G remains devoted to her craft, dashing of bits of verse and […]

looking forward to monday
Thursday was just ONE of those days. First there was the 6 a.m. revelry from My Better Half’s downstairs office. I don’t know what inspired him to be up so early (he’s usually not seen outside of the bedroom before 8 a.m.) but he was down there chipping away at a mountain of e-mail and […]
a year without toilet paper and wafflehouse
Just when I was getting ready to admit that I’m having a really hard time making the conversion to CFL light bulbs (global warming or no global warming, the CFL bulb creates an ambiance startlingly like the interior of a Wafflehouse), the NYT publishes an article about the Beavan family and their commitment to a […]
ode to a sump pump
There’s still snow here, lots of it. But I’ve heard the meteorologists calling for rain and a thawing warmth. And I should be happy to get rid of Winter seeing as Spring officially began last night, March 20th at around 7 pm. But I am afraid…. There’s one small problem with spring snow. Spring snow […]
