Monday, February 28, 2011. I Am Moving. To. Arizona. Links to this post. Wednesday, February 23, 2011. Cool things to distract me from Major Life Changes on the Horizon. I'm not as oddly peaceful today as I have been of late. The reality of moving again is seeping in at the seams a bit. The thought of the many, many details and days of hard work and time apart from my dh can be downright paralyzing. Add to that a tremendously huge. I love love love. Like she did. I can't imagine making a coat! 2 hours, n...

Saturday, January 29, 2011. The worst librarian in the world. So it has been months- months! Anyway, moving beyond my irresponsibility and on to the delirium tremors. My frequent-flier mile funded magazine subscriptions are up for renewal. I'm not sure if I can renew them with miles (haven't bothered to find out- see above-referenced laziness). Although not always applicable to my current situation (Architectural Digest and Conde Nast Traveler, anyone? I have a tiny list going:. At Home, by Bill Bryson.

my shore: decoupage is dangerous
http://myshore.blogspot.com/2011/10/decoupage-is-dangerous.html
Thursday, October 20, 2011. I've had this sort of awful wooden vase-thing for years. At one point it occupied a place among other botanical items and blended in pretty well. Three houses later, it doesn't really "go" with anything in the living room (or any other rooms for that matter). It is sturdy and was only three bucks on clearance at Marshall's and what's more I've moved it three times. In as many years. I'm not getting rid of it. Therefore it must be decoupaged. Magical, isn't it? Food, glorious f...

Tuesday, April 23, 2013. Family tree paper craft. Here are a few not-great images of a beautiful family tree my SIL made for me. I love it! Links to this post. Monday, April 01, 2013. Walmart: a complicated relationship. The Saturday before Easter I found myself once again in The Crappiest Place on Earth determined to "make it quick" and come home with my soul intact. All three (3! And who doesn't love a pair of googly eyes on a toddler? Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Food, glorious food.

my shore: July 2011

Thursday, July 21, 2011. Can I just take a moment and be petty? Our neighbors. They didn't make a great first impression. The first day we were here I noticed that everyone in their house from the 13 year old on up is a chain smoker. (The 6 and 4 year olds may as well be with all those smokers around.). The man of the house introduced himself as "John Doe, nice to meet you. Just moving the wife out myself today, to an apartment. So are you on your own here as well? Now I've been petty on the internet....

my shore: my hiatus
http://myshore.blogspot.com/2013/02/my-hiatus.html
Wednesday, February 20, 2013. So I have neglected this blog for many months. I had a few legitimate reasons. Exhibit A: nearly full-time job as an assistant high school librarian. I really loved, REALLY loved that job, but, sadly, it didn't pay well enough for me to stay there and afford day care for Exhibit B:. I just couldn't eat another bite! After 13 solid years in LegoNerfMinecraftHotWheelsSkateboard Land I finally have someone to watch Downton with! I am so happy for you. View my complete profile.

Thursday, April 14, 2011. So we had an incredibly fabulous spring break in AZ. Checked out our new town, swam in some pretty cold water, ate out more than we have for months, soaked up the sun and extended family love. Meanwhile the 8 year old is seriously missing his dad. Spontaneously sobbing. Doesn't want to go to school. Doesn't want to eat sometimes. Meanwhile the 11 year old is turning into a 13 year old (! Extremely fond of talking back VERY LOUDLY.

Wednesday, February 12, 2014. That moment when you think, Oh God, what have I done with this day? And what am I doing with my life? And what must I change to avoid catastrophic end-of-life regrets? That was from this essay: The Incredible Buddha Boy. I read those paragraphs and a gong went off in my chest. YES. YES! I am sometimes so sick of myself- " being caught in the same loops of anxiety and defensiveness". Refers to as Mostly Love. If the end result is a kinder, gentler me? Links to this post.
