So close
Just an “e” away from fulfilling my life long dream of being Aes Sedai.

Add a little happy
Several months ago one of my co-workers recommended a little browser extension that says nice things to you every time you open a tab. Sounded a little silly, and wasn’t sure that randomly generated nice thoughts from a glass of water would make that much difference, but I was wrong. I love them. Sometimes I take…

My First Feminist Role Models
In honor of International Women’s Day I want to tell you about a group of women who played a major role in how I became the woman I am today: The Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity. Specifically the ones who taught at Lindsay Holy Family School in the very early 1980s. I’m not sure they set…

Miss you Dad!
It’s almost impossible for me to believe it’s been 10 years since dad passed on. In some ways it feels like he’s been gone forever, and then other times like I could pick up the phone and call him (well, no because he was deaf and the phone was a nightmare for him). It makes…

Standoff: A study in cat politics
Two of our girls had a little “discussion” this afternoon about who was in control of the dresser territory. Pheobe won as she always does. After which she got down to hang out on the bed. She doesn’t actually want to be on the dresser, she just needs Piper to know that she can be…

A New Hobby?
I’ve never had what I would call a real hobby. I love to read, and I’m an on again, off again knitter, but I’ve never really gotten into anything that I only did for pleasure*. Part of the reason for that is I’ve always had work that I really enjoyed and I put my whole…
