Poprocks and Goblins: What I Eat: Attack of the Growing Oatmeal

http://poprocksandgoblins.blogspot.com/2013/05/what-i-eat-attack-of-growing-oatmeal.html

Monday, May 20, 2013. What I Eat: Attack of the Growing Oatmeal. After I wrote about losing weight, I got a few questions about what I eat, so I'll share a few of my favorites from time to time. For the most part, I eat the same things over and over because: (a) I love them, and (b) I feel "safer" eating something familiar within my crazy Weight Watchers/gluten-free/plant-based parameters. I make this stove-top oatmeal (adapting the Hungry Girl growing oatmeal. Adapted from www.hungry-girl.com. Because i...

Poprocks and Goblins: The Nature of Dog

http://poprocksandgoblins.blogspot.com/2013/12/the-nature-of-dog.html

Tuesday, December 31, 2013. The Nature of Dog. Gibby Is he a D-O-G. or a G-O-D? It occurred to me on my walk yesterday morning that I may have it all wrong. By "it," I mean, what if what I *think* is real. isn't? Like, what if my dog - seen here in his usual stance and mood, a happy yellow lab with his tongue hangin' out, waiting for a walk or a crumb to drop - isn't really the pet I think he is, but instead is. (gulp). What a freakin' accomplishment! Sometimes I mistake his barks for anger, when he's re...

Monday, May 20, 2013. Keeping Berries and Greens Fresh in the Fridge. If you don't have a fancy "berry keeper,". Use the following method:. For strawberries, cherries and blueberries, DO NOT RINSE or wash them before you store them - they will rot and turn ugly! Instead, place them in more or less a single layer (blueberries can be on top of each other) on a few paper towels in a shallow bowl or tupperware container, cover, and store in the fridge. This is what they look like this morning:. Considering h...

Poprocks and Goblins: November 2012

http://poprocksandgoblins.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html

Monday, November 5, 2012. A Poem for Monday. Sometimes change happens because outside forces cause us to change the way we live. Other times, it happens from within, like a light that gradually bursts out of our bodies like a wildfire. In the midst of contemplating the very nature of change in my own life, I dutifully went to Monday morning yoga. And I was rewarded by this poem, which my teacher read at the very beginning of class:. Archaic Torso of Apollo. We cannot know his legendary head. Simple templ...

Poprocks and Goblins: March 2013

http://poprocksandgoblins.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html

Thursday, March 21, 2013. I may have also considered it a "poor man's vacation." I longed to stay in a comfy hotel room, with soft sheets and turn-down service and cheeseburgers that you could order at the pool bar and sign to your room. That. Sounded like a real vacation to me. And then.we had kids. For a few years now, my girls have been asking to camp. They saw it on "Parent Trap" and it looked pretty fun - outsmarting bears, hiking trails, swimming in lakes. Last weekend, though, we went camping....

Poprocks and Goblins: August 2012

Thursday, August 23, 2012. What I Like About You. She just turned 39. (I know, right? She blogged about it here. But I just had to add my two cents. In 39 years, this girl has managed to live a life that most of us can only dream of. She found the love of her life in high school and allowed him the honor of marrying her (lucky guy! I'm not even kidding. She works full-time, drives a Suburban and has a backyard full of pets. Well, why is that. Because the girl doesn't REALLY age! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Poprocks and Goblins: February 2014

http://poprocksandgoblins.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html

Monday, February 24, 2014. Clap Along if You Feel Like Happiness is the Truth. I've had this song stuck in my head for days. and I keep thinking it's just because I'm sweet on Pharrell (and, let's be honest, his Canadian Mounty/Bullwinkle hat). But maybe it's more than that. In all honesty, I just wanna be happy. More than anything else, I love that feeling of having to smile on the outside coz I feel so good on the inside. Did you see the whale? So it ought to surface again soon.". This is who I am.

Poprocks and Goblins: December 2012

http://poprocksandgoblins.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html

Friday, December 14, 2012. I am shaking with horror at the images from the Connecticut elementary school where an asshole decided to shoot at young children, their teachers and other staff who love them. Normally, I don't love to swear in this blog, but I am stunned. Those could be my kids, or yours, or perfect strangers - it doesn't matter. They are *all* our children. We are all connected.
