  • 2018-05-20 The “Other” Sunday Status

    This time I’m not looking at the last week or even the last month. I’m glancing back over my left shoulder at one year ago. One year ago today I asked my boss for a sabbatical. The day after that I broke into tears over my failed relationship because I happened to see Orion’s Belt…

  • 2018-05-19 Eleven Week Meetup

    It’s a rainy Saturday afternoon. I’m at the gym trying to work of a big lunch. JS an I were talking last night about the foods we used to eat when we were young and in HS and college and it reminded me of my very favorite thing ever (or was a hundred years ago).…

  • 2018-05-18 My Dreams are Stirring Up Some Shit

    This morning I woke up at the tail end of a bad dream that was most certainly my brain trying to puzzle out something it’s grappled with a time or two in the past and potentially still struggling with. I have an inner desire to please People and do a good job and I think…

  • 2018-05-15 Where are My Sunnies? 😎

    So I wrote this blog post on Sunday which I realize now I never posted. It was a rant about Mother’s Day. It was kind of a mix of hating on the day for being another one of those made up holidays and an eye roll worthy commentary on my own mother sharing her personal…

  • 2018-05-06 Let’s Do This Sunday Thing

    It’s Sunday again and that means it’s Status Update time. Today’s theme.. the struggle never ends, but that’s so, so good! Exercise… 13.5K average steps per day this past week. Below average for goal and well below average for my personal lofty expectations. A big part of this is probably the sharp drop-off of my…

  • 2018-05-04 I Won’t Mention It

    It’s that day again.. but when I said something in the car this morning dropping the kids off at school, my daughter gives me that 👀 look.. kind of like tiny daggers with a slight eye roll at the end. “Mom, that joke is so tired”. Me.. “Maybe it needs a nap.” 😜 Still, nerds…

  • 2018-05-01 May Day.. Time for Tacos 🌮

    Unlike Groundhog day, May Day is a tradition that is not talked about as much when it comes around every May first. It’s basically a celebration of Spring and nature, and in some historic cultures it was the day young people were potentially paired with each other for a spring courtship that would end with…

  • 2018-04-27 French Frings and Other Things

    Last nights sleep was amazing. I woke refreshed and ready for today and the weekend. It’s going to be sunny and 70+ degrees and I’m so so ready for that. I’ve put in a fair number of hours this week and this weekend we’re doing a release of the application so there’s more where that…
