This post was going to be something else but I’d rather tell you what is going on right now: Avelyn wants to read a book, but I don’t want to read right now so I told her to read to herself. I’d rather sit on the floor drinking hot tea and feeling sorry for myself [...]

Avelyn is finally old enough to be interviewed, so I thought I’d pull this out of the archives. I laughed out loud over and over again re-reading Kevin’s answers. I might do a follow up interview with him and the same survey later. If I recall this was very good for our marriage the first [...]

We are headed back from H-town after a much needed respite. My kids are so lucky their great grandparents live near enough to visit, albeit only a time or two per year, and in good health for their age.

Oh yeah, I am going to disable the comments on the blog for a while. It’s something I’ve been wanting to try for a while so we’ll see how it goes. I’ll probably reopen them eventually but for now I just want to feel like I can write without expecting anything in return or being [...]

Last weekend I finally convinced Kevin to go to the corn maize in Hondo. Even he admitted it was pretty fun, and we had a great time as a family. Especially a little lady who made sure she was the leader. I had trouble uploading the photos I wanted to share in this post, so [...]

Welcome to Operation: Avelyn Turns Two in Three Days! central. Sorry (again) for being MIA (again) but I’ve been knee deep S.T.R.E.S.S.I.N.G.O.U.T. The to-do list is so much longer than the done list that it’s not even funny and as usual my grand ideas have led to more planning and more to-do lists than actual [...]

Here I have combined my two favorite things: graphs and self flagellation as I realize my decline in writing is directly correlated with moving home, getting happy and having less time to waste. There are pros and cons to this revelation as well as a gigantic sigh because GOD I AM SO BORING.

I woke up after 3 very bad hours of sleep this morning with what I remember to be a great idea for a post. I had the best of intentions to write it but alas, it seems like yet again if I don’t write something down I completely forget about it. To my recollection it [...]

So, it’s 200, sorry, 2010! Which really has no significance except that it’s two thousand AND TEN. I’ve now been living in 4 decades and I’ve yet to turn 30. Sweet! When I used that line on Kevin he liked to rub it in that he’s been living in FIVE decades now and he’s not yet [...]
