Okay, where to start? There’s been a lot going on in the past few months. I guess I should start by going back to October or so. I posted then that I was looking for a job. Things were tight, and we have already been living a bare-bones, no luxury budget for a couple of [...]
Sorry I disappeared and failed again on the NaBloPoMo thing. There’s been a lot going on this week; I may be able to share some potentially exciting developments here tomorrow, if things pan out. I hope.
Anyway, since it’s Thanksgiving as I’ve done in years past, I’m going to talk about a few things I’m thankful [...]
Sigh. I failed. Miserably.
Here’s my defense: first, my keyboard stopped working, just before NaBloPoMo started. And if that wasn’t enough, then my computer charger died and the battery on my computer was so low that it died, too. Then, I tried posting from Brett’s iPhone but Wordpress did NOT like the iPhone so typing a [...]
I’ll keep this short tonight; like Annie mentioned today, I’m finding NaBloPoMo a little more difficult than I anticipated. I don’t seem to be able to find much to say, although I hope I can find some time to do some more in-depth writing soon.
Anyway, Elanor and I went to the grocery store today. Now, [...]
It’s been five months since we moved here, and four since the Great Church Debacle of 2009, and we still haven’t found a church here in San Francisco. It’s kind of frustrating, but it doesn’t surprise me. It took us almost two years to find our church in Maine; it makes sense that it would [...]
I have a lot of things I’m thinking about lately, so I think I’ll just do a bullet-style post; it’s just easier than writing a ton of transitions.
Writing: A post manifesto piece about our child rearing ideas. It’s gotten really, really long. It may wind up being a series of posts, actually, but, then, that [...]
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 [...]
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 get [...]
I love, love, love our new home. We had a really tough time finding an apartment here. This was the one place that was even remotely livable. (And boy, it really is livable!) Everything else was tiny, dirty, cramped, not up to code — just not okay. We had seen icky place after icky place, [...]
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 experience with my [...]
