And Then Chaos Ensued…
During my travels to Chicago this week…my Dad got hospitalized with possible kidney failure. Turns out there are all sorts of other symptoms as well and they’ve decided to biopsy his kidney this morning to try to figure out what is going on. My brother is already there and I’ll be heading up tonight. Let’s just say I’m a wee bit frazzled right now. He would hate me writing about this on my site because he doesn’t like to cause a fuss. But –... Read More
I’m Forming A Support Group For Mousse Users
I’m sitting inside the Huntsville airport right now, waiting to hop a plain to Cincinnati. Where I’ll then hop another plane to Chicago.

Once it gets christened, we leave it out for the dogs to sleep with. Inevitably Lil’Girl,... Read More
Teenage Zoot v/s Mom Zoot

I have officially lost the ability to listen to my son tell stories from school without turning it into some sort of lecture. He comes home with stories that match many of my own when I was his age. You would think this would allow me to be all cool and commiserate with him.... Read More
The Errand From Hell
Two of my favorite things: Chuck Taylors and my camera strap You wake up early one morning because you need to wash a few dishes and trade out laundry before work. This means you’re up before 4:30am instead of before 5am. You plan your day in your head while you’re drinking your coffee and remember you need to run an errand after work. After work because – since you leave the house at 6:20am – the place is not open before work. You get the kids ready... Read More
