As an accumulator of things, I want to take some time to sort of create a cool off zone before accumulating more things. So, here is a place I can leave the things that I considered purchasing over the last week. The question is whether I will still be interested in these items at the… Continue reading Cool Down Zone #2
I Am What I Ate
My insurance plan is one of those where if your weight creeps up past a certain amount, you either need to pay more money, or commit to trying to lose weight. In this case, you can either track your steps using a Fitbit or something similar, or you can join WW. I can not go… Continue reading I Am What I Ate

Risograph Workshop
I’ve been interested in risograph printing for a little bit. I’m not sure exactly when the interest cropped up, but I do know that following Kate Bingaman-Burt’s work applied the bellows to the ember of interest here. This is the part where I could talk about the challenges of the last few years, but I… Continue reading Risograph Workshop
Hummus Obsession: Week 2
Well, I know that this interest in hummus isn’t exactly fleeting. In the last week, I’ve picked up some hummus from Whole Foods. I ordered carryout for dinner for my family from Casablanca just because I wanted to try the hummus. I’ve also made some hummus at home. Each day as I drive to work,… Continue reading Hummus Obsession: Week 2

There are so many things that I have wanted to do and had the good fortune to be able to do those things. However, right now, the math doesn’t work for the things that… Continue reading Goals and Obsessions
Bringing Back Birthday Goals
Once upon a time, I would try to set birthday goals that corresponded with my new age. However, after a year or two of that, you kind of check off the big things that you want to do, and I found myself reaching for goals that weren’t as meaningful. However, I’m in a busy season… Continue reading Bringing Back Birthday Goals
Playing with Procreate—AND Watching TLC
Anyone who knows me at all knows that the last thing that I need is another hobby…but when has that stopped me before? I have been wanting to play around with Procreate for a while. At times, I am into hand lettering things. And at times, I am into drawing. Doing this all on the… Continue reading Playing with Procreate—AND Watching TLC
Dear Lincoln,
The last couple of days have been a little rough. You are a real trooper though. Besides your sleepiness, it would be hard to tell that you had a pretty hot fever going for most of the day on Sunday. Monday, we did a COVID test so that you could go back to daycare, and… Continue reading Dear Lincoln,
Meal Plans
It is so funny how plans and routines change or need to change in different seasons of our lives. Once upon a time, I was so, so good at regularly cooking and trying new recipes. These last few years though…. Recently I had a chance to do a little meal planning for the upcoming weeks,… Continue reading Meal Plans
