Well good morning December and how are you this cool, grey and rainy morning? I imagine you are trying to ease into my year but I’m not really the easing type. And you know what goes really well with grey? Red and white. As in peppermint. Mmmmmm…peppermint. What was I saying? Oh! I was just [...]
The field trip to Philly was very helpful for us. We looked at three different areas and it was sort of calming to get a sense of imagining our life there. Obviously nothing got settled yesterday as we are still very much in the absorbing stage of things in terms of location and financial reality, [...]

Oh my! All of a sudden there are SO MANY THINGS TO DO! 99% of the things fall into the category of “problems we have been looking forward to having”. But they are problems to solve nonetheless. Which means stress. But knowing that the rope has been tossed to us in the quicksand is huge- [...]

I am a fantastic chronicler of bad stuff. You want a play by play of awful, horrible events? Let me take your [...]
Quick post because I am in the midst of a big Plaid House project (happy face) and this is my Wednesday work day…but guess who just got a call to have a 2nd interview for a job in the Northeast? I am so excited and proud of my Mother. WOO! A couple of nice things [...]
