When Will and I first moved to North Idaho in 2005, we were very aware of the ‘granolas.’ Granolas are the hippie types. The dreadlocked ones with their pot-smoking, dreadlocked babies slung to their backsides, the braless, shoeless ones, whose husbands have long mangy beards and a I’m-totally-not-digging-the-government aura about them. Oh, [...]

I believe it was Mary Poppins who stated ‘A thing of beauty is a joy forever.’ To which I emphatically respond, ‘Amen sistah.’ And then Mary Poppins says, ‘Up to bed, spit spot.’ And then I say, ‘You’re not the boss of me, and ps I think you’re a witch. And [...]

1. Gorge my belly on Dr. Peppers from Sonic.
2. Call my husband everyday.
3. Wake up promptly at 8:00 am, every morning.
4. Eat carne guisadas and kolaches.
5. Discourage Ava from singing spontaneous opera.
6. Dance with my friend named Leigh.
7. Get my hair cut into a lamentably high maintenance cut.

Sometimes I take pictures of myself. Sometimes I get bored with my blog and don’t write for many days. Sometimes, on those days, I post pictures of myself and my babies. Because I’ve got nothing else for you today.

6. On the Radio by Regina Spektor
And on the radio
You hear November Rain
That solo’s awful long
But it’s a good refrain
You listen to it twice
‘Cause the DJ is asleep
On the radio
(oh oh oh)

On the radio - uh oh

On the radio - uh oh
On the radio
Last summer one of [...]

There are several inspirations for this particular post. Here they are in list form:
1. Will suggested I do a post of the songs I would sing if I were the lead singer of a cover band. And while I love dealing in hypotheticals, I practically run my whole life around them, the [...]

Do you know the phrase ’spinning your wheels?’ When you look up that particular phrase in the phrase dictionary, you will find a picture of me, in my Dodge Caravan, stuck in my own neighborhood at 6 am on a Sunday morning, unable to move forward or backwards, blocking the road for others, wet [...]
