Somehow, I’ve managed to seriously neglect this space over the last week.  And sadly, it’s not going to improve right at this very moment.  Consider this post as something akin to a blog “lick and promise.”  However, as a taste of things to come, here are some of the things I want to write about […]

Lately, my blogging around these parts has been nothing more than the digital equivalent of a lick and a promise. I dash in, quickly write a brief summary of what I’ve been up to lately, offer pictures instead of prose and run out again. I imagine the blog feels a little like my […]

I’m tired.  I spent the whole day at work, and then went straight to class tonight.  I pulled into the garage at around 9:30 pm and lost fifteen minutes between parking and walking through my front door.  I’m really looking forward to the end of my job, because the balancing act I’m performing right now […]

The Carnival of the Mundane will be opening its tent flaps here sometime tomorrow, and is looking for a few more good blogs. The Carnival is a celebration of the ordinary, a time to gather and connect with those stories out in the far corners of the blogosphere whose topics are of the daily, […]

Okay, I admit it. Moving over here to wordpress has been kind of challenging. I found a theme I like, but I can’t figure out how to make the header have my name in it. So right now there’s no header at all. I was trying to insert my flickr badge, and that didn’t work […]

I’ve put a set of pictures together from Georgia’s birthday party on Friday night, that include the cake(!), my friends lounging on the glamorous red couch and Ingrid and Ajayi swing dancing around the living room.

I’ll get a new post up later tonight, possibly about artichokes or the dream I had last night in which I was a phone-in contestant on the NPR comedy/talk show, “What Do You Know?” In the meantime, for some of the newcomers, a few of my favorite posts.
A Family Secret
Rosemary
Pinch Pie
Break up pain, all […]

To all of you who voted in the Philly Future Featured Blog Poll, a big thank you! As of right now I am the tentative winner, but final results have not been posted.
A few things I learned through this process:
My ability to stay on good terms with ex-boyfriends, former babysitting charges (and their mothers), […]

I was never on the Homecoming or Prom Court, I wasn’t elected May Fete Queen (although I have to admit, I was on the court that time) or Rose Princess. But today, I have another chance at being Philly Future’s featured blog. The weekend’s poll to determine the next featured blog resulted in […]

So I discovered a little while ago that I’ve been nominated to be Philly Future’s featured blog. Voting to select the next featured blog is open until Sunday afternoon. I feel a little funny telling people to vote for me, and yet, not quite funny enough to not to it. So go […]
