On Wednesday we’ll be running a sale in our store to celebrate Howard’s birthday. We’ll be discounting deeper than usual and featuring the numbers 11 (the number of birthday’s Howard has had), 29 9the date on which he was born), and 44 (how many years he’s been around.) This means that today and tomorrow will [...] Kiki came home smiling. The boy walked her to the door, both to say goodnight and to retrieve his suit jacket which she was still wearing. She gave him the jacket and apologized for the silver glitter stuck to it. Her shining dress had an infinite supply of sparkles to shed on every surface it [...] Today I: Waved to my neighbor of six years as she drove her boys away from the house next to mine, which is no longer hers. She paused long enough for us to exchange a hug through the window of her car. I felt bad that my day had been full of things which did [...] This week and next week are filled up with deadlines. Many of them are self imposed, but sticking to them is important because some of them aren’t. Some things I have to get out of the way so that I can focus on other things. Other things need to be done so that we have [...] My sister, Nancy Fulda, has been nominated for a Nebula award. I’m so glad because Nancy works really hard and the nominated story is exceptionally beautiful.

However I know she’ll be just fine [...] Went on a walk a week or more ago and took my camera with me. There was a bed full of dried up plants, weedy and broken. When I stepped closer, I saw this. Add one to the count of small lovely things in the world. In other news, I spent the weekend hostessing for [...] Some days are made out of cranky. On such days all six personalities spit and spark as if we’re all charged with static electricity, accidentally zapping each other by simple proximity. These are the days when our house feels too small. I sit in the front room, which is not far enough away from the [...] My Valentines preparations went like this: Answer the door and receive delivery of a valentine note for one of my children. Realize that Valentine’s day is, in fact, tomorrow. Remember that, unlike the rest of us who try to ignore it, for kids in grade school this holiday is Very Important. Run to grocery store [...] Patch came down for homework time toting his big stuffed dog. I didn’t think much of it. He hasn’t been prone to carrying around big stuffed toys, but it was well within normal parameters. Then he said, “I wish I had a stuffed tiger this size.” Then I realized that I’d just called him away [...] When I went to Antelope Island last October, I knew I had to go there again. I wanted to bring my daughters, who I knew would love the place as much as I did. The park is open year round and the brochures list things to look for by month. Today we packed ourselves into [...] |
