I found out who the mysterious C is, who left me flowers by the site of my natural disaster, and it all made perfect sense. It came from my neighbor around the corner who was spreading some love around the neighborhood. A mitzvah for her, for us. Today on the way home from Franklinton, we got off at our exit and a car was broken down with a women standing by the trunk speaking to…
Oh the mother lode, it is possibly the weightiest topic we could ever try to articulate. Tin and I drove across the lake to see my aunt and cousins and feast. They know how to put on a spread – roast beef, corn on the cob boiled in coconut milk, cornbread salad, green beans, two kinds of potato salad, rolls, and a dessert table that was buckling under its own weight. I ate too much!!…
I woke this morning after a long day’s journey through conversation and pizza and there was a pair of panties on the floor, only they were almost small enough for a barbie doll and I realized they belonged to my friend’s daughter who had been in the pool. Sign of the times. I read in the NYT that Loudon Wainwright said if families didn’t break up there would be no need for art and so…
I took some interesting pics in the last day and a half and will post them when I remember to bring my phone up to where my computer is. It will happen. My friend with her beautiful blog posts Wordless Wednesdays that are always so beautiful they make you want to live her life. But I digress. Last night, I went to sleep in a tizzy, woke up to write, and went back to bed…
I woke way too early, I went back to sleep, and my horoscope for today had a good message so I took it and ran with it. May 12, 2012 Taurus (4/20-5/20) If your life is a circle (and you’re standing in the middle of it), are you going to spend energy turning around, giving equal focus to your past, present, and future? Of course not — if you did, you would get awfully dizzy…
“And still, after all this time, the Sun has never said to the Earth, ‘You owe me.’ Look what happens with love like that. It lights up the sky.” ~ Hafiz
Yesterday, I had mapped out a plan for the afternoon into the evening. I was going to go and get paint to fix the front porch that I had had repainted last year, but then the repair man had set the tanks of termite poison on either side of the porch and left two large drum circles that had eaten off the paint that had now attracted debris and bugs and two circles of yuck.…
There is a great line in Scarface, well there are many great lines, but one is when Al Pacino – Tony Montana says, I want what is coming to me. His bud Manny asks, What’s coming to you? Tony says, “The world, chico, and everything in it.” I juxtaposed that line against another line from a poem, The World Is Too Much With Us: The World is Too Much With Us by William Wordsworth The…
There is the hypothyroidism making me tired, there is a three year old who won’t nap making me tired. So let’s revisit what it is I want to do – SLEEP, REST, RELAX. Yes, in that order, I want to get sleep, I went to feel rested, and I want to relax. But no dice.
