She’s a multi-tasker.
The Ferginator carries a bone AND plays tennis-ball soccer with me.I kick it, she returns it.Now that’s a talented pooch. (Or at least that’s what I’d like to think.)
I love my Apples. I really do. But come on.
(Note: I know that the post that follows is uncharacteristic of me. Do know that I ADORE my macbook pro. I absolutely do. I would NEVER (hear me) willingly be a PC user again. Ever.) So recently I had an…

You Are Los Angeles Young and fun, you always know where the best parties are.And while you tend to keep things carefree and casual…You certainly can glam it up when you need to. Famous people from Los Angeles: Tyra Banks,…
Future ambition
When I move back to the U.S. of A. I will learn to play the violin. What instrument would you love to master? What instrument do you currently play? (I’m a piano girl.)
Fun shopping.
I’ve never been a matchy, matchy earring, necklace, bracelet person. I wear stuff that I like and mix it up. Our fellow-blogger, Dri, works for South Main Designs corporate office (based in Findlay, OH) and is a consultant. I thought…
Wii bandwagoned it.
So yeah, I’m new to wii. (I live in Mexico.)Let’s just say, C. and I are addicted. At this point – I love tennis. I really like the golf, too. Bowling’s great. Baseball is fun against the computer, not against…
Aubrey Update
Little Miss Aubrey Grace is 13 months old. And cute.—Yes, that’s mashed potatoes in her hands. Yes, that’s a washcloth on her head. Yes, that’s a maraca in one hand, a rattle in the other and a dog toy in…
Book Review: Night
By Elie Wiesel, Holocaust survivor/winner of the Noble Peace PrizeBlogger note: My copy didn’t have the Oprah seal of approval on it. Therefore, that woman didn’t influence me to read it. For the record. I actually couldn’t recall if I…
Is this font too small?
I made the font a size smaller.Thoughts?
It’s truly unfortunate.
Today we (ok, C.) grilled out.Just as C. was about to put the chicken breasts on the grill – he asked, “Did you want to eat anything else with this?” I immediately think to myself: “Cheese.” But I catch his…
It appears that Ferg has a headache, too.
Either that or someone has shot her and left her for dead on my desk.
![When I was a kid, my Mom would sometimes go to the grocery store at night while my baby sister and I were "supposed" to be sleeping. Baby sister slept, I stood by the window and watched for her headlights to turn back into the driveway, my stomach a gnarled mess while I waited.
The entire time she was gone I would create ill-fated stories in my mind that would ultimately leave her injured, kidnapped, or left for dead... I think these stories got worse after my Dad died. "What if I lose my one parent?"
I would stand there and worry.
And she always came back.
In one piece.
Over time, after therapy when I was younger, I realized that worrying doesn't shape anything... worrying doesn't CHANGE the outcome... but, it's real.
Telling someone not to worry is about as effective as telling someone not to cry when they're in the midst of full-sobbing or it's like asking someone WHERE they lost the thing that they lost.
"I can't find my keys."
"Where did you lose them."
[silence]
"Um, if I knew where I lost them, then..."

This time that we're living through right now is BIG and heavy and for the love of ALL THINGS HOLY it keeps on going.
I remember watching The Sound of Music when I was a kid and wondering when in the WORLD it would end. We're STUCK in the Sound of Music.
Schools opened, then closed.
Masks on, then off.
Life started, and stopped.
We've missed get-togethers and holdiays.
Weddings and births.
We are as disconnected as ever.
Our worrying and concern and fear and anxiety is there... and it's real.
I see you.
I know this time is hard.
I'm not going to tell you to stop feeling the feelings, I just want you to know that I'm feeling them, too. (And therapy is helping.)
Get yourself a therapist.
Talk about all of this.
As I told one of my girls this week, “It’s ok not to be strong all the time.”
With love,
