Read. Write. Live deliberately.
This is what we had for dinner Tuesday night: That lovely piece of steak was grilled to perfection by my Husband, the resident Grill Master. And the perfectly grilled corn on the cob. He even prepared the marinade for the steak on his own. I was relegated to bean prep. He may not be terribly adept in…
I had about nine other things I thought I wanted to talk about today, but scrapped them all. My head is stuck in one particular place, and since it’s all I can think about, I’m going with it. I can’t decide if I’m angry or sad or a little bit of both. Probably that. Some…
As I write this, my Fabulous Husband is finishing up some vacuuming…to rid our home of this week’s allotment of cat hair! This is part of why he is fabulous. A) I haven’t touched a vacuum cleaner since we got married (HATE vacuuming more than cleaning toilets) and B) he is in charge of all…
I have had a love affair with crab for my entire life. Pretty much every form, flavor, style – you name it, I loved it. Crab cakes, lump crab meat swimming in warm browned butter, crab meat perched atop a lovely veal cutlet, filet of flounder stuffed with crab meat…what rapture! And then a sad…
Ever have one of those days where you just don’t want to eat? OK, so this really doesn’t happen to me all that often. Believe me, I am not a woman who says no to a meal. But tonight, nothing inspired. I even intentionally engaged in the “what do you want to do about dinner”…
When I first wake up, before I hit an upright position, I only open one eye. I’m not sure why, but it happens every morning without fail. It could be physiological. It could be because I live with a Kidzilla and Three Rotten Cats. Perhaps my subconscious brain intuitively knows that under such circumstances, keeping one eye open…
Wish I had a more clever title for this post. I don’t. The only thing remarkable about it, in fact, is that my husband and I (each) probably asked one another this question at least ten times yesterday. You see, there was no plan. And around here, no plan has traditionally meant junk food. But not today. …
Ever sit down to do something on your computer, click open the Internet, and find, amazingly, that you’ve travelled somewhere wonderful without quite realizing how you got there? Happens to me all the time. It’s one of the curses blessings of having ADHD. (More on that another time…)
So now I have this site. This blog. This thing. Now what in the world am I supposed to do with it? I have spent more hours than I wish to divulge reading about “how to” write a blog. There are pages upon pages of suggestions, formulas, guides, rules of etiquette and such that provide lots of…
Know what’s really scary? The unknown. We fear things that we can not see, do not understand, or have not experienced. No one will tell you that they are not terrified to thrust themselves headlong into the unknown – at least not if they’re being honest. Sure, we may find a way to surpass our fears or…
