* bedside | telling d'tales

https://tellingdtales.wordpress.com/2011/08/02/bedside

All the makings of a feast. I can reach out and touch Hemingway’s. And a flowery pen, a birthday gift from my little girl when I had swine flu. Two black hair ties overlap. A red ribbon, a piece of blue frayed fabric. From a skirt I want to transform. 4 wrinkled, handwritten letters from America lined paper, blue ink. Layered, willy-nilly, on top of the bright orange book, ‘Philosophy through Film’. A lamp, not mine, white, metal and practical. A whiteboard marker blue, juicy with ink. You are commenting...

Marisa’s Story

http://birthstoryproject.com/2015/01/marisas-story

The Birth Story Project. January 21, 2015. The Advent of Baby A. In the late spring, I learned that I was expecting a baby. This new baby would be my second child. My daughter, R, was already 16 and looking into colleges. My boyfriend of many years, T, has 2 children of his own – both boys, and both pre-teens at the time we expected our latest addition to our family. My friend X and I have been friends since we were 10, and had the same body type. She gave birth to her first child via c-section when ...

All the makings of a feast. For the first time in 7 months i have no assignment pending. i’m free to do whatever i please. What to do – what to do? First, i’m going to start tidying my long-suffering house. kitty will have to find a safe spot while i suck up everything that is loose on the floors (and walls for that matter). Afterwards, well… i’m just going to roll around on the clean floor and laugh and sing – there may be dancing. Gracious me – there’s still so much left to do. thankful...Click to shar...

Dominique’s Story

The Birth Story Project. March 30, 2015. It was roughly 2:30 AM that 23rd day of July 2014 a typical Wednesday I thought. At 41.3 weeks pregnant I was all too familiar with spontaneous contractions (false alarms) that colored various segments of my wobbly days and kept me awake at night. Yup I sighed, I’ll probably be pregnant forever. I’d be lying if I said that I wasn’t still wondering, Oh my, is this it? I lost my mucus plug. I think it’s official! On my way out of the bathroom, a much stronger contra...

The Birth Story Project. May 4, 2015. It was and then it was not. Sweetness of life scraped out. Because it was no longer life. Our petal strewn road. Blotted, clotted black red. Leading to an empty belly of a home. Vacant the sign says. The occupant is not. Or, is now more than we are? But not here, for our arms. Tagged as: birth stories. Previous post: Dominique’s Story.

The Birth Story Project. May 19, 2015. Details from October 23, 2014. Will always be a day I remember detail for detail, the one day that changed my whole life, for I couldn’t not forget. I sat there in the water, and it was the most spiritual and self-knowing experience I’ve ever had, I felt like I was finally one with myself, I knew who I was. Life made sense, and it was magical. 8:15 pm I texted my dad, for I couldn’t speak I wrote. I need you to make me a promise. And through all this, I just have to...

bonkers for garbanzos | telling d'tales

https://tellingdtales.wordpress.com/2011/06/29/bonkers-for-garbanzos

All the makings of a feast. These tasty little nibbles could not be easier – I’m garbanzo mad at the moment and I’m sharing the insanity…. Drain, Rinse and blot dry 2 cans of chick peas. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and mix it well. Season with salt, garlic or any favourite flavours. Spread on a baking sheet. Bake on high heat (230 C) for about 30 minutes or until chick peas are crunchy. Share on Facebook (Opens in new window). Click to print (Opens in new window). Click to email (Opens in new window).
