This other stuff is important, too

Still thinking about that values post I wrote, and feeling like I left some out. When I wrote the other post, I figured Life, Freedom, Truth and Love were kind of gimmees. But then I thought, maybe they weren’t. And maybe it’s a good time to spell some things out.
So. Here are some more things […]

House sneak peeks

Oh my God. It’s not the moving that takes a while, it’s the damn unpacking. Lord. Half this house is still a disaster zone. But I do have a few teasers for you. Which, hmm. That makes it sound as though you should be expecting something awesome. You should not be. It’s still all my […]

I think I nailed all the biggies, yes?

Siobhan, that great ape, tagged me in a recent post of hers. Because I like her so much, and because I drank another cup of tea this evening, and because I’m a wild and crazy girl, here go my answers to the writing prompt:
Six things I value

A well-made bed. It’s pretty to look at, it […]

How to watch TV in a valley in Western Pennsylvania when you don’t have cable

Dudes! We’re officially in the new house. It’s fabulous. Mostly. I mean, there are a LOT of boxes around here, and we keep finding little nuggets of wtf (“tub diverter? who needs a rusty corroded tub diverter?”). But it’s mostly fabulous.
However, it’s also a tiny bit unfabulous. Yesterday’s wtf nugget was this: when we tried […]

We’re on the brink

Today begins phase-one possession-moving, as I twittered last night. My husband and some of my in-laws are moving our stuff from the storage unit into the new, clean, fixed-up house today, while I stay at Grandma’s and kid-wrangle. I have a trunk full of new curtains and a burning, itching desire to get in that […]

every road’s a scenic road

Add to my long list of things I love about Western Pennsylvania:
1. twisty turny beautiful treacherous roads
2. autumn
3. helpful people
4. autumn
5. the “Pittsburgh Left”
6. autumn

I’ll call this one “Oh my God, we still haven’t moved in”

Heya! Have we been living with my in-laws for three months? You betcha! Is my new house, for which I am dutifully paying the dumb ol’ mortgage every month without benefit of actually living in it, a big ol’ mess? You betcha! (or, “tu betchus!”)
I cannot believe I thought we’d get all this work done […]

A Falcon good time

I went to Homecoming with my sisters and some friends yesterday.

After many, many hours of walking around in the sun (and a beer or two from the BG News alumni tent) —

— and a couple of Pollyeye’s breadsticks, I arrived home feeling like a little kid who had been at the zoo all day. *Clonk! […]

The gripping conclusion of our heroine’s tale

All right. I can’t leave that bit about the pants up there at the top of the page. Ugh.
Epilogue to the Sad Pants Story
I drove back to the mall, by myself. I reveled in the simple freedom of taking the escalator, unencumbered and light as a feather without two tots and a stroller. I smiled […]
