Travesty: 1. a burlesque treatment, imitation, or translation for purposes of ridicule. 2. a crude and ridiculous representation; a ludicrous distortion. – Webster’s Unabridged (and very heavy) Dictionary I went to a travesty of a funeral yesterday. I decided my relationship to the deceased was best described as my sister-in-law’s brother-in-law although there would be no court [...] Today you are three years old. You have the face and body of a real kid. Except for the tiny bit of delicious thunder thigh you still have going on. You are officially no longer a baby, although you’ve insisted on being called a “big girl” for months [...] I am: busy, crazy, tired, homesick, and stressed. But focusing on all of that is getting me nowhere. So today I’m re-framing. I thank God that we have work to do. Having too much is always better than not enough. And may the year continue to be a year of plenty, not just for us and [...] I get asked that question a lot. Usually via Facebook, when I post to my status whatever stupid, yummy, sugary treat I’ve just made myself. (Yesterday it was homemade chocolate-caramel ice cream. YUM!!) It’s been posited that I am either on crack, have an extreme case of ADD, or simply have a resting stress level that [...] On my honor, I will tryTo serve God and my countryTo help people at all timesAnd to live by the Girl Scout Law.The Girl Scout Promise From Veterean’s Day 2009 In case you missed it, today is Veteran’s Day; a day to honor those who have served this country with honor and valor. This is a day [...] I am a pretty good cook. No, I’m a damn fine cook. I LOVE to cook, trying new recipes, making up dishes out of thin air. My whole family is full of good cooks. I just told you last week about Brian’s magic scalloped potatoes. And my brother made some seriously good fake jambalaya last [...] I love this blog. I love writing on it, I love coming up with ideas for posts, I love taking pictures for it (gettting right on that one now that I know where the camera is) and I ADORE when you all leave comments or send emails or let me know you’ve read it. Another thing [...] We had cereal for breakfast this morning. I just wasn’t up to procuring a hot, well-balanced meal in an apartment teeming with packing tape and piles of books. Plus there were boxes in front of the stove. I almost died getting out 3 bowls and spoons. Pancakes just weren’t happening. As we sat enjoying one another’s’ [...] I’ve told this to almost every child I’ve ever met. You didn’t get the cookie and the cake? Life is choices, you chose the cake. You spent your time playing on the swings and didn’t have enough time for the slide? Life is choices, you chose the swings. It’s as an adult that I’m [...] Technically, Brian and I have never celebrated Father’s Day together. At least not since he became a father – which was, incidentally, right around the time I became a mother. Funny, that. The reason is simple and complex all at once. The simple part is that we’re just not real huge on the “Mother’s Day” and “Father’s [...] |
