I sit inside – cramming down a chocolate chip cookie after dinner. It is second-rate, at best, but I eat it anyway. I eat it as an act of comfort, and act of escape… an act of sanity. My knees touch as my feet are placed wide apart. I feel vunerable… like a knobby kneed [...]

Like Mother, Like Daughter… So. Much.
I should not be surprised. In fact, I am a little proud. Though I would never let Olivia know. In the car today Olivia mentioned that her teacher will sometimes ask her to “…never do that again.” I know my daughter is very social, so I am not surprised that her teacher might request such [...]

My Kind of People
This picture was taken at my 32nd birthday party… many, many moons ago. This picture makes me happy. Many of my dear friends disco’d and karaoke’d the night away… all to celebrate Me and the wonder of my birth… I was pregnant with Lucy, and feelin’ really ugly. But all the love shoved [...]
