Kate's Suburban Minutiae: October 2010
http://katediggins.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 27, 2010. The End of an Era. There was the year of the skeleton costume. And the Anakin Skywalker. Year, with the bat costume. This year, Nate wants to be David Beckham. And I'm actually feeling bereft, despite the fact that I whine about Halloween costumes all through the month of October every year. "But Nate, don't you just wear your Beckham jersey and some other soccer stuff? No, 'cause I'm doing a Mohawk for him. That's all that is required of me this year. Sunday, October 24, 2010.

Kate's Suburban Minutiae: April 2011
http://katediggins.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 3, 2011. Letter to my Family. Dear family members who read my blog, Got a call from Mom today. And two yesterday. She wants to talk to me. I e-mailed with her last week. She knows I am having a lot of problems. She wants me to come home for awhile. She has promised me sleep! Plenty of work-out time! Food I don't have to cook! That's what Facebook is for! Why am I writing here, and not on my new blog? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Letter to my Family. Paradise", by Toni Morrison. I am a disgra...

Kate's Suburban Minutiae: March 2011
http://katediggins.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 29, 2011. Love Note to my Old Blog. I miss you, blog! I have my new place set up to look a lot like this, but I still find myself wandering back here every day. This is where my good writing is. Mwah! Tuesday, March 15, 2011. Check Out Our New Location. It's a safe place, beyond the reach of a once-trusted friend who manipulated, then casually discarded me. Was it REALLY so bad that I need to close a blog that I have maintained this long? Yes Shocking. I am still in shock. Kate@guadalupe&#...

Kate's Suburban Minutiae: February 2011
http://katediggins.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 27, 2011. Yes, I'm back. I am willing to own up to the selfishness of journaling. But in the overall sweep of Kate's selfishness, it's small potatoes. And, as Nikki commented, everyone who blogs understands the need for this selfishness. Others selfishly watch TV or prune their Bonsais. I selfishly blog. Check out the dark circles under this kid's eyes! The Girl Scout snowshoe weekend at Camp Trefoil was cancelled because we had a snowstorm. (I know! And Mo was being meeeeeeaaaaan. This ...

Pixels from the Edge: November 2012
http://www.pixelsfromtheedge.net/2012_11_01_archive.html
Pixels from the Edge. Rebecca's Ramblings. Not a diary, no particular theme, just whatever is on my mind at the moment. Tuesday, November 13, 2012. Long Vs. Short Form. It's hard to believe I have been away from my blog for nearly a year. I was surprised to learn that before January of this year I hadn't written a post for two years. In fact, since 2008 my postings became increasing sporadic. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Opening day of the 2009 season.

Kate's Suburban Minutiae: Shelter from the Storm
http://katediggins.blogspot.com/2011/03/shelter-from-storm.html
Friday, March 11, 2011. Shelter from the Storm. This post took a while to write; it was painful and I was not really up to the task. I couldn't wrangle my language. Si is gone for the weekend, staying at his job. I am trying to recover my tranquility. Please: shelter is what I need right now. I sing that Bob Dylan tune under my breath all day. In previous posts, I have described flying adjectives. Hmmm Let's just say that Simon didn't get that memo. I have no shelter, but I need to BE a shelter. That...

Kate's Suburban Minutiae: May 2010
http://katediggins.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 28, 2010. Meetings, Bloody Meetings. Here I am with the bureaucrats at the Uta* State Offic* of Educatio* (you know the place I mean). Nice touch to have an engraver present, huh? This etching was done after we had spent most of an hour arguing about how to quantify "student progress". With the exception of the tablecloth, this is quite realistic, especially my glower and knitted eyebrows. What? Is it statistically significant? Labels: My Work Can Be So Wierd. Monday, May 24, 2010. My friends...

Kate's Suburban Minutiae: Nose for No
http://katediggins.blogspot.com/2011/03/nose-for-no.html
Sunday, March 13, 2011. Let me tell you something interesting I learned in graduate school that I now see played out in my regular life: language change primarily originates with girls in the age group pictured above. Scary, huh? This is true of shifts in vowel height (I did a study on that years ago), grammar, and introduction of new words. Don't even get me started on slang. 2 The gentleman who returned to buy cookies after he had completed his shopping. I saw him and said, "Ha! Things got slow, though...
