Ali: Yeah, I really do think.
http://aliaardappel.blogspot.com/2011/10/yeah-i-really-do-think.html
Thursday, October 13, 2011. Yeah, I really do think. I was teaching irony yesterday and I tried to make a joke about how Alanis Morissette's song "Isn't it Ironic" isn't ironic at all and guess what? No one had ever heard of Alanis Morissette. No. one. I started to feel a little old and a bit disconnected when one of my brilliant (No sarcasm here.This year they really are. Brilliant) kids quickly responded, "Well, if her song about irony isn't ironic, then it's ironic, right? See what I mean? Wow, I feel...

Saturday, July 9, 2011. My cousin, Jeff, and his wife, Nicole, have two of the most amazing kids I've ever met. Polite, articulate, kind, and intelligent, those kids are part of the reason I wanted to have my own. In November on our way home from Lake Tahoe, we stopped in Santa Cruz to visit Jeff and his family. Their custom designed and built home is nestled on a mountain between gargantuan redwoods. Their windows are uncovered, leaving a view of the forest around them. The trees ARE their walls! We eac...

Sunday, October 30, 2011. From Ariel, Prince Eric, and our little Sebastian! Tuesday, October 25, 2011. Like my father, I'm somewhat of an insomniac. We both listen to podcasts at odd hours in the middle of the night to help pacify our racing minds. Anxiety is passed down, I think. Genetic or learned, passed down all the same. The Moth has been a huge source of inspiration to me because it's performed by WRITERS! And they tell their story to a live audience. Here is what I love:. The stories are true....

Tuesday, December 28, 2010. Lindsay came to visit before Christmas. First picture of Bear by the tree. Cuddling by the fire while it rains outside. Nothing better than a happy baby. Looks like his daddy. Grandma Darla with Charlie and cousin Zoey. Daddy combed Charlie's hair for a little get-together. Uncle Jeff has been around all week! The best gift EVER! Cuddling on Christmas Eve. Grandpa held Charlie all evening. And to ALL a goodnight :). Sunday, December 12, 2010. And Charlie with Hazel! Harper, Ai...

Wednesday, July 13, 2011. My favorite sense is smell. Okay, I mean, if I had to lose one of my five senses it would probably BE smell so I guess I can't say it's my favorite - but for memory and anticipation, ah, it is by far the greatest. I can smell Ohio. The heavy, muggy air right before a thunderstorm. The grass saturated with dew. I picture us all crowded at the door, watching the sky light up and then go dark. A paradox of sorts. I have a feeling, it ain't gonna be pretty. 2 World Without End (foll...

Thursday, March 31, 2011. Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air! My boy LOVES the outdoors. Luckily for him, it sure feels like summer. A pool for $6.99 and the sunshine make for a wonderful day at home. Sunday, March 27, 2011. There's Something About Mary. He continues. "She wrote me a letter and sent it from South America and it's strange because she has the king's last name.". I wondered if there was even a king in South America. Dan's dad came to the rescue and told him that was neat...

Wednesday, October 12, 2011. I was writing all the time. Thinking. reflecting. creating. Sometimes i feel paralyzed when i open my blog. the cursor blinking. waiting. waiting. waiting. And nothing good comes. Do i write just to write? I'm not so sure. i sometimes wish people wrote less, ya know? Thought more and wrote less. kinda like talking. That's all i got. It's a start, right? October 12, 2011 at 11:03 PM. Yay, youre back! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I survived an Italian Mother.
