I have a tomato, peppers, and zucchini plant growing in my planter boxes. Chris got them for me last year, and this year I wanted to start and get some stuff growing for the summer. I ended up getting any vegetable plant the garden shops were selling.

I told Chris about it:

“My swiss chard is doing really well…””

“Is swiss chard really bland?”

“no, it’s actually got a stronger flavor than regular chard…”

“Shouldn’t it be neutral? Being Swiss?”

….I should have seen this coming…

He was not letting it go. “Does it at least have holes? Like the cheese?”

“Oh, yes, it does have holes. does that make you happy?”

Sometimes in life, it hurts when you care.

But if it hurts, I think it’s time to take my caring in a new direction.

And if it hurts to care, so that I stop caring…also very bad. Best to find another way to spend my time.

It can be done

It’s good to be with good people

One this my traipse through my ten years of blog has shown me is how valuable conversations with people are. I am inspired and enlightened when I talk with other people about what I”m thinking.

I think it is supposed to work like that.

Well, tuesday, really. But it’s the first day back at work.

LAST weekend, I thought I needed to hang myself out to dry.

THIS weekend was amazing. I feel refreshed and full of optimism. Was it the one-two punch of the ‘vacation’ away from home followed by a weekend of getting stuff done AT home?

Maybe. I’ll take it.

I feel a lot more in charge of my life today.

My first version of my blog ten years ago did not have a privacy setting.

But that was a long time ago. Now I can make any and all of my posts private.

That makes this space all the more useful.

I know for sure it’s not yesterday. That’s different. That should serve me as a reminder not to dress for yesterday’s weather

The things that were important yesterday might not be important today. So, maybe what was impossible yesterday is possible today.

I’m gonna go see….

If the internet blinked, no one would have noticed I upgraded my blog. It was down for a little bit.

But i did it!

SQL and PHP had to be adjusted, and much love to Liquid Web for their awesome customer support.

The front page of the blog doesnt’ look that different…But! My posting backend is very pretty…

AHHHHHhhhhh

it just occurred to me, that all these trials of mother hood could be grist for more writing.

i feel like i got mymojo back, re-reading my blog of all these years.

I like what I write. I have always liked what I write. And it inspires me to read what I have written before, and makes me think of new things to write.

Check me out! right now i am considering writing some poems mournign the loss of sleep.

this is when I started to read the blog

I have read my blogI

Thinking about how things might turn out well is a very nice change from fear and dread. I am glad to have discovered an alternative to fear and dread.
