Not a legend but the name was fun. This is just the random stuff I've thought about and want to remember. If you find it useful, hurray! If not, you'll know me better anyway.
AKA “the blog” – this is a hodge-podge mixup of everything else I feel like posting.
Yesterday a couple of my kids’ friends came over to play (I’ll use shortened versions of their names). As soon as they’d walked in the door: Mary: “So… have you ever tried a green smoothie?” Sh.: “Green Smoothie? No.” Co: “Do you guys have a BLENDTEC?” Ethan: “YEAH! My mom works there!” Co: “That’s what […]
MoreLeft to their own devices, my kids invariably go crafty on me. Found tonight:
More(Oops! I’d somehow published this as a page rather than a post. Fixing that.) This morning I was surprised by a note from a young man who happened across my profile and felt strongly impressed to share an inspiring quote with me. He friended me as well. I sent a note asking if we’d met; […]
MoreBuh. I bought a reel of “professional grade” lights from GE thinking it’d save me some time in years to come. Invest in quality, right? But just to be safe, I double checked them before putting 400 on my tree and decorating it. This morning when the kids got up I brought them into the […]

His theory is that there are three “natural” loves: Affection, Friendship, and Eros… and that none of them can stand on their own because they’re all so fallible. And don’t I know it! You might say I tend to feel things intensely, and […]
MoreWhen I was a kid, the internet was just a kid too. Looking over my 30 years worth of memories, I can’t say things were actually any simpler then than now. How much simpler could things have been back in the days when everything was in black in white? 🙂 Not that everything ever was, […]
MoreI didn’t get to hear the whole conversation because I was dealing with burned broccoli (yes, I win homemaker of the year award) but it went something like this: Mary: “{insert some lengthy explanation here}” Ethan: “What?” Mary: “{expounds on lengthy explanation}” Ethan: “I don’t get it.” Mary “{slightly more concise version of explanation}” Ethan: […]
MoreI am so not a fan of winter, but I think I’ve finally figured out why & what to do about it. I was walking through a parking lot with a good friend when he asked, “So did you replace your tires yet?” He knew they were starting to get iffy back in June, and […]
