April 7, 2016 – Tea anyone?

April 7, 2016April 14, 20161 Comment

The thing about 5am is that it comes so stinking early. This is a theme I’m noticing. It’s so early it requires things of you. It’s something you have to plan for. It won’t just happen on its own. And if your plans go awry, well you’re kind of screwed. If for instance your young … Continue reading April 7, 2016 – Tea anyone?

Today my youngest kiddo turns 5. He is so dang pumped. Last night about two hours after he went to sleep he started crying out, saying “This is taking forever!” Sometimes when this happens he’s not actually fully awake and it takes a little bit to get him to explain what’s going on.

I like TV as much as anyone. Probably. I especially love the dramas whose characters are specialists. Characters who are clearly the go-to, knows-what's-going-on expert in their particular arena. My favorites are shows like Lie to Me, Bones and Leverage. Anyway - I absolutely love them. When I discover a new one, it would not … Continue reading do the work
