Special favors come in 31 flavors
Sunday, January 31st, 2010
When I hit “Publish” on this one, I will have met my goal of 31 posts in 31 days. I’m very proud of myself. And truly awed and inspired by those of you who have been doing this for many years.
Thank you to those who have sent good vibes and good feedback. I’m so grateful [...] -
Bonzai!

Me, Stan Lee and B

I’m working on a longer post that’s not quite ready.
I’m in a quandary over whether I should allow myself to skip today and post two tomorrow because my BFBeth is coming to town, and I must leave toute suite.
I’m electing to reprogram this apparent Kobayashi Maru and make a simple post of one of our last [...] -
Three guesses…

Special appreciation to Jen Consalvo for inspiration and “permission to play”. Sometimes it takes a professional to tell you something you already know before you’ll believe it yourself. I am, indeed, thankful.

Does this look infected to you?
Wednesday, January 27th, 2010
While looking for a 5 minute song to hoop-and-heat by today (It’s freezing again here in DC!), I scrolled past a number of faves from a group I was introduced to last summer.
One of my favorite moments from Burning Man 2009 was arriving at the Opulent Temple to the spectacular madness of Infected Mushroom. (Warning [...] -
Put it in your pantry with your cupcakes

I’ve been working on squeezing extra bits of physical activity into my days to combat my disease. If you’re trying to do the same, here’s an idea:
It takes about 5 minutes to boil water for a cup of tea at my house these days in the depths of winter when the water comes from the tap [...] -
Have you kissed your IT Department lately?
Monday, January 25th, 2010
No matter where you work, live or love, the job of the ITG (IT Guy or Gal) is usually a pretty thankless job.
When you’re a small, start-up “homepreneur”, intentionally or not, if you’re lucky enough not to be wearing that hat yourself, the ITG is probably your husband, wife, partner or roommate. If that’s the [...] -
Put my corpse in a heart shaped box

“I’m dead.”
That’s what we who are prone to exaggerate say when we’re really tired.
That’s what we who ignored our fairy-godmother’s warnings about dancing after midnight, not once, but twice on a weekend, say on Sundays.
I’m dead.
Something that I’ve always found to be a little ironic about yoga is that one of the best ways to [...] -
BMWs are good for your health and the environment

With four kids, I’ve spent (and continue to spend) a fair amount of time over the last twenty years schlepping kids around DC and to near and not-so-near suburbs. Today was no exception with a theatre play practice and a birthday party starting at the same time.
Despite a fairly large sample to judge by – [...] -
Almost eleven foods that I AM eating
Friday, January 22nd, 2010
One of the top viewed stories of 2009 from the NYT was this post. Apparently it took most folks 6-18 months to figure out what’s good for them since it was originally posted in June of 2008, but I’m proud to say I’ve been partaking of 9 of the 11 for many years.
So, there. Tara [...]
