Life Is How You Describe It: The Honest Mistake
http://circuitouslogic.blogspot.com/2012/03/honest-mistake.html
Life Is How You Describe It. Tuesday, March 27, 2012. The Monkey came into my room a little before 2:30 am I don’t remember him opening the door. By the time I was conscious, he was standing over my bed talking in a rush. 8220;I had to come and tell you. I’m so sorry. I woke up at 2:02 am, but I thought it was 6. 02 am and I thought my friend was texting me , so I sent him a text to say that I couldn’t get online, but then I realized it was 2. The Monkey’s honesty is a thing of beauty. He spent...Enough&...

Life Is How You Describe It: What Christmas Looks Like
http://circuitouslogic.blogspot.com/2013/12/what-christmas-looks-like.html
Life Is How You Describe It. Tuesday, December 10, 2013. What Christmas Looks Like. Every year I spend a little time worrying that my narrow range of holiday decorating is somehow robbing my son of his childhood. We've never had an Elf on the Shelf. I don't do much with the mantle or spend days stringing lights on the bushes. Some years, I completely forget to put the wreath on the door. (Actually, I just realized that I've currently. Every piece of this little scene has a story, spanning decades, layere...

Life Is How You Describe It: Easy Christmas Light Storage
http://circuitouslogic.blogspot.com/2010/12/easy-christmas-light-storage.html
Life Is How You Describe It. Wednesday, December 22, 2010. Easy Christmas Light Storage. As I was starting to tidy up today, I made up a nifty trick for re-purposing some holiday scraps and storing Christmas lights that I thought I'd pass along. It looks like this:. I hate unraveling the annual tangle of Christmas lights.and those silly light-holder things hurt my fingers and are way too cumbersome (every.bulb.gets.pushed.in.blaaargh! Oh Maybe that's just me?

Life Is How You Describe It: Risk Taker

Life Is How You Describe It. Monday, March 26, 2012. At lunch on Saturday, Cheryl pointed out (twice! I wasn’t meant to take them. I’m working on a homework assignment for a writing class I’m taking from Joshua Fields Millburn. We’re submitting answers to 29 questions that span the gamut from the poignant (Why do you write? To the absurd (Would you rather ride on a train, dance in the rain, or feel no pain? One of the questions I struggled with today is “Why did you sign up for this class? I believe that...

Life Is How You Describe It: Why Do I Write?
http://circuitouslogic.blogspot.com/2012/03/why-do-i-write.html
Life Is How You Describe It. Saturday, March 17, 2012. Why Do I Write? A friend suggested recently, perhaps as an apology for not reading me very often, that I’m mostly writing for myself. I suppose that’s true on some level. “ I’ll know what I think when I read what I wrote. But I don’t believe I write this blog just. In my stories that resonates with others. I believe that there is a thread of commonality that runs through all of us: the shared experience of fundamentally being a thinking, feeling pers...

Life Is How You Describe It: This Sloth is Disappointed in Me
http://circuitouslogic.blogspot.com/2012/04/this-sloth-is-disappointed-in-me.html
Life Is How You Describe It. Wednesday, April 11, 2012. This Sloth is Disappointed in Me. Sloths are so judgmental. This sloth is, of course, also correct. My task for the month is to write without distraction for two hours a day (or night or morning). Completing this task has presented more challenges than I anticipated. I woke up early one morning, determined to "knock it out" in the pre-dawn hours. It didn't take me long to discover that I'm not actually awake. The point, I suppose, is that it is.

Life Is How You Describe It: Life is Not a Scorecard
http://circuitouslogic.blogspot.com/2013/12/life-is-not-scorecard.html
Life Is How You Describe It. Sunday, December 15, 2013. Life is Not a Scorecard. At some point, a whole lot of years before now, I constructed a method of determining my value to the world. Given the simplicity of the approach, I’d say I created it during my adolescence…and, like many childhood habits, it stuck. The system was easy and probably seemed quite rational at the time. If I’d had the vocabulary to be pithy back then, I might have titled it something like, “What can be counted counts! I could qu...

Life Is How You Describe It: That's My Boy
http://circuitouslogic.blogspot.com/2014/03/thats-my-boy.html
Life Is How You Describe It. Tuesday, March 25, 2014. The Monkey just came to me for interpretive assistance on a book passage he didn't understand. He read it aloud:. I had a clear shot right up her skirt and this time it wasn't innocent flowered underwear. Mrs. Williams needed to go to confession for wearing those things. He gave me a funny look like he didn't want to ask. ".and that is? Me: Thong, probably. He didn't even pause: "Ohh.buttfloss? Got it." And he wandered off again. Hyperbole and a Half.

Life Is How You Describe It: Rating Scale
http://circuitouslogic.blogspot.com/2012/04/rating-scale.html
Life Is How You Describe It. Monday, April 02, 2012. It's Spring Break week around here. Since the Monkey and I don't have any travel plans, he's spending part of his days hanging with the peeps at the school's extended care program. They're deeply into the Just Dance video games for the Wii, and tonight I found out that he's developed a rating system for the songs on Michael Jackson The Experience.
