Things I Missed

July 27, 2010 therapy in session

I have been back to my real life since two Sundays ago. After a week on the beach, doing nothing, having no appointments to make, no place to rush to, I find it hard to adjust back to life in the suburbia 100%. On the first few days after The Beach, I caught myself thinking [...]

Announcing: Birthday Month Extravaganza!

July 1, 2010 random

I never ever got to celebrate my birthday in style. In fact, I have the urge to dig a hole and bury my head in it when my birthday is approaching, not because I dread getting one year older but that I worry about being disappointed. I am disappointed every year. That is why I [...]

Rainbow

June 16, 2010 a picture is worth a thousand words

. After I dropped off my 7 year-old at his Taekwondo class, I had less than an hour to drive, grocery shop, drive, unload groceries, stuff 99% of the groceries into the freezer portion of our refrigerator, and then drive back to pick him up. As I pulled up to the stop sign inside our [...]

Hope springs eternal

April 2, 2010 a picture is worth a thousand words

Hope humbly then; with trembling pinions soar; Wait the great teacher Death, and God adore. What future bliss He gives not thee to know, But gives that hope to be thy blessing now. Hope springs eternal in the human breast: Man never is, but always to be, blest. The soul, uneasy and confin’d from home, [...]

I have not yet participated in Unknown Mami‘s Sundays in My City weekly feature that I so enjoy on her blog. (Actually, I love all her weekly features: the I Comment Therefore I am on Mondays and the Fragmented Fridays) I thought I’d give it a go this Sunday, seeing how I need a good [...]

View from Above, Literally.

December 31, 2009 through the looking glass

Happy New Year! These are pictures taken from the plane when flying into Washington D.C. (IAD), of course, before we were told to “turn off anything with an on/off button”. It was such a gorgeous view. I simply put the iPhone to the window and proceeded to Tap, Tap, Tap to capture these images. No [...]

Christmas Eve Shuffle

December 24, 2009 a picture is worth a thousand words

Every year we come back to my husband’s childhood home for Christmas. We are fortunate, I guess, in that we never have to worry/argue/agonize about splitting time between two sets of grandparents since mine are 7,500 miles away. It has become a holiday ritual: Santa goes to grandpa and grandma’s house. This year I let [...]

“I want to be your personal penguin”

October 20, 2009 random

Both of my boys grew up with Sandra Boynton’s books. My oldest especially grew up on the fiber provided by chewing on the board books. His favorite at that age? Blue Hat, Green Hat. Ms. Boynton later started turning her delightful books into sing-along songs. And soon famous people started joining in to compose music [...]
