uh, hi.

Well, I did it again. I went on another unintended blogging hiatus. *sigh* I know, I know. But, like I mentioned in this post, it’s hard for me to blog when I’m preoccupied with something else. And lately, that’s been a really rough Elanor phase. Y’all, it’s been brutal. This parenting thing just keeps getting [...]

keeping cool

The past few days have been really hot here in San Francisco, somewhere around 90 even at our house in the Sunset, which tends to be 10-15 degrees cooler than the rest of the city. Yesterday, to escape the sauna that was our apartment, we went down to the beach, stopping on the way to [...]

Happy Week: Thursday

Riding my bike; that’s what’s making me happy lately. More about this tomorrow…I’m wiped out and couldn’t construct a coherent entry. It’s been a really rough week in Elanor-land, and I’m just tired. But I promise I’ll elaborate (and post yesterday’s pictures) in the morning!

Happy Week: Wednesday

**Picture coming in the morning; it’s late and dark and I need to go to bed. My love of books has been with me for as long as I can remember. Some of my earliest memories have to do with reading, at first picture books, and later chapter books. When my sister was born, my [...]

Happy Week: Tuesday

You knew this would be on my list, right? Elanor and Brett. Oh, they make me so happy. Being with them, hanging out with them, having them as my family. Need I say more?

Happy Week: Monday

This week, I’ll be participating in Happy Week, headed up by Lisa at Curious Girl. Every day from now until Saturday, I’ll share something with you that makes me happy. Today, it’s this: That’s everything I bought at the Farmers’ Market on Sunday. Amazing! Fresh produce, flowers, food…it all makes me happy. And sharing the [...]

after-dinner conversation

Brett: Elanor, where do tooties come from? Can you show me where tooties come from? Elanor: Opens mouth and points inside while grinning, obviously very satisfied with her answer. Ooookay. I have no idea where she got the idea that you toot from your mouth…but I think it’s pretty darn hilarious.

July 14-ish: 18 months old, a little late

I’ve got more posts coming up this week and next, including one about my recent creative and domestic endeavors, one about my current cooking rut (oh, it’s BAD), and one about the randomness that goes on around our house on a daily basis. So stay tuned! I’ve been writing this letter for about a week [...]

the pastor’s response

I heard back from the pastor. I emailed my letter Tuesday afternoon about 2:00, and he called me at 5:30. Not a bad turnaround, actually, considering I wasn’t expecting a response. The conversation was very civil, and very calm. He apologized for how we were treated, and said that he was glad I’d taken the [...]

un-freaking-believable, round two

Remember this post? About the time Elanor and I got kicked out of a coffee shop? Yeah. It happened again. Only this time, we didn’t get kicked out of a coffee shop, we got kicked out of a church. *jaw drops to floor* I know! Me! Getting kicked out of church! CHURCH! Haha. It’s so [...]
