Sort or search your email?
So, my inbox has 294 messages in it right now. When it gets to around 500 or so I usually go on a crusade to bring it to under 100. This involves throwing messages into folders and deleting lots and lots of no longer important ones that I won’t need. So, this concept of not…

Summer/city blues, part two
So, we’re outside now (this is after the events of the last post have taken place). Chey is planting and weeding the gardens. Lila is riding on her bicycle with a child from the other end of the culd-de-sac. I’m walking around with Eva. Some cars pull up to a house a couple doors down,…

Tick-tock. . .
Alright, so it’s the middle of the night (literally) and I am still up. Ihave to get the girls up and in the car by 7:30 tomorrow/today and I’m still awake. Why? you might ask. Because I bought a new coffee creamer the other day and I wanted to have some. At 8 PM. So…

Are you ready to RUMBLE?
so, I gave Suzanne a gentle chastisment today for being the only other mommy near me blogging and not writing to her blog just before she told me she wrote yesterday and I haven’t seen it yet. Oops. Anyway, so, I’m done with the Anne Lamott book. So lets chat. She is a little half-off…

It offers us a chance to break through the distractions that keep us from living the basic Easter message of love, of living in wonder…

a chainsaw for your birthday?
So, I did commit and I’m about halfway done with the Anne Lamott book. Here are today’s quotable quotes: “A woman I know says, for her morning prayer, ‘whatever,’ and then for the evening, ‘oh, well,’ but has conceded that these prayers are more palatable for people without children.” Ok, so that is funny. And.…

Hm, a bug.
So, the background color isn’t showing in the Flash movie at the top. Any ideas? It wouldn’t have to do with the fact that it is not one of the sacrosanct web-safe colors, I would hope. Not sure. Using #eef. Eventually the fading photo thing will be working on each photo section. In time.

Site tweak | Lila’s prayers
So, I felt like tweaking the visuals here. I’ve been meaning to since

. . .And the answer is. . .
so, I’m reading Traveling Mercies by Anne Lamott on the recommendation (however indirect) of Dan and Suzanne Price. Now Anne Lamott has always seemed to be, sort of, “half-off” to me, which is not to say “half-assed” but that is another discussion for another time. So It’s hard for me to commit to this book.…
