Outside Providence: July 2012
http://outsideprovidence.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 06, 2012. If you squeeze a button on the back of the nose, a gooey kind of snot-like substance bulges out of the nostrils. E, as you can see, bought two (at the Mutter Museum in Philadelphia, where else? I think the golden age of traveling with children. Is probably 7 to 11 or so. E was still pretty fun, except he is (according to my mom) exactly like me, and wherever he is, he wants to know when we're leaving and going to the next place. S turned 13 last week. Need I say more?

Outside Providence: August 2011
http://outsideprovidence.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 21, 2011. I've been home only 4 days out of the month so far. I never want to leave my bed again. One of the afternoons, while my mom was there, my sister, mom and I went to the farm. I won't be too specific about the farm, but a few important things about it:. 1 My mom's best friend's family owns it. The family matriarch is still alive at age 92, but her husband died 9 months before my daughter was born, and my mom's friend died when my daughter was a few months old (breast cancer). They'...

Outside Providence: June 2011
http://outsideprovidence.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 05, 2011. March/April/May are always my busiest months. Something about the end of the academic year that brings on the work, no matter how hard I try to shed load. So, where am I at? A lot of good stuff. I would feel a little guilty for my relative good fortune these days, but I know all things are temporary (or rather, cyclical- life is full of ups and downs- right now is an up). 1 I was promoted to full professor. We do not have tenure, so don't get too excited. But it's still nice. And t...

Outside Providence: Sandy
http://outsideprovidence.blogspot.com/2012/10/sandy.html
Monday, October 29, 2012. I know I'm not the only one humming "Oh Sandy bay-beeee, can't you see? Moved the cars across the street:. That's the view from my bedroom window. There is a tree all the way to the left, plus pines overhanging the driveway (also on the left). We've all showered. I made food from the freezer last night for dinner. The bathtub's full of water. Enjoy some Joss Whedon endorsing Romney:. Oh, I hadnt thought of filling the bathtub with water! For cleaning and flushing, right?

Outside Providence: Gardens, New and Old
http://outsideprovidence.blogspot.com/2013/07/gardens-new-and-old.html
Friday, July 12, 2013. Gardens, New and Old. We moved in May to a new house just 1/2 miles away. It's a little bigger than our old house, and we needed some more space. Over the past 3 years, I've installed and worked on a garden at the old house. Here are some pics of it near its summer peak (the rudbeckia aren't blooming yet):. The new house has a different palette:. The light purple ones, not the reddish ones. I have only two of them. Hmmmm. I love the truffala tree! July 12, 2013 at 10:37 PM.

Outside Providence: February 2012
http://outsideprovidence.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 27, 2012. I've been reading The Secret Life of Pronouns. By James Pennebaker, and I've been looking at some reviews and his website and found a series of quizzes. On one part of his website. Here are my results on the LIFE survey. Your responses suggest several things about you. Overall, there are four major dimensions to people's daily behaviors:. Your score on the Preppie dimension (which ranges from 0 to 12) is: 4. You are relatively LOW on this dimension. This often reflects ...It's ...

Tuesday, June 05, 2012. The Unpaid Work of the PTO Mom. Going out the window: any hope of cooking healthy meals this week. Last night was pizza. Tonight will likely be Wendy's. Who knows about Wednesday because I am pretty much screwed. I think I've been invited to a BBQ. Maybe I can eat and run? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Lawyers, Guns and Money. No More Mister Nice Blog.

Outside Providence: From One Natural Disaster To Another
http://outsideprovidence.blogspot.com/2013/02/from-one-natural-disaster-to-another.html
Friday, February 08, 2013. From One Natural Disaster To Another. I've been reminded that the last time I posted was during Hurricane Sandy. And today we have Winter Storm Nemo. I live in Ground Zero for Nemo (southeast Massachusetts), and we expect over 2 feet of snow. Wheee. The kids just got into their first fight while playing Wii. Wiiiiii! I am smitten with these little rats (as my husband calls them). They love me, too, but I think that's only because I bring them nuts to munch on. From One Natural ...

Outside Providence: May 2012
http://outsideprovidence.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 31, 2012. Neither of my children has been challenged very much in their lives, and I desperately want them to have those challenges. It works better, because of their contrary natures and my husband's and my easygoing natures, for them to be challenged by others rather than us. But it is so hard to find things that challenge them and to motivate them to see the challenges through. Wednesday, May 30, 2012. Laura's post on the six-year-old spelling bee contestant. But it was black crayon!
