I’m too old for this, but I still dance in our living room, and the worst part is that I still make my mom watch, like I’m four-and-a-half. “Mom,” I say, “watch what I learned in Argentine Tango class last week,” and I push-lean against a kitchen chair and trace my toes in sultry circlesContinueContinue reading “Feeding thousands/ dancing the tango”

This photography is stopping me dead in my tracks
The internets takes you places you didn’t think you’d end up sometimes (like this article), but today I ended up on this photographer’s site because I’m THE BIGGEST sucker for beautiful photography, and I had to cut myself off, because otherwise I’d be looking for an IV straight to my arm because holy wow, whatContinueContinue reading “This photography is stopping me dead in my tracks”
Things I lost (and miss) in 2014
A list of things I lost in 2014. For no great reason, besides I felt like making you share in my sorrow. One of my peacock-feather earrings. I think it snagged on a scarf, was pulled out of my ear, and flew away. Or something like that. The thing is, I could just make anotherContinueContinue reading “Things I lost (and miss) in 2014”
Train of thought
I should have brought my camera in today. But, I didn’t. And as far as collected thoughts go–you’re out of luck TWICE! But, I’ll bring you a train of thought comprised of unrelated cars…how does that sound? So, in the summer, my work offers this concept called “flex time” where you have the option ofContinueContinue reading “Train of thought”

I went on retreat. You know I did, and I know you know I did. Honestly, team, I’m ready to burst back into life and go to the library and check out books and read them all and learn a bunch of things (and get behind at laundry) and go to the fabric store andContinueContinue reading “Blots of thoughts from Marytown and Detroit.

2015 whaaaaaat. That’s what’s up.
Once I was in the basement, near the mirrors. It’s even better because I wasn’t, like, seven years old when this happened. This was, like, last year. 2014. It was the morning, Saturday morning, and I was like, “I know what time it is…INTERPRETIVE DANCE TIME.” So then I think I went with a goodContinueContinue reading “2015 whaaaaaat. That’s what’s up.”

Some Christmas Snippets
My Christmas looked like this… And then…night! Christmas! Baby Jesus! The sibs kind of decided against the Midnight Mass option…and elected for the 7:30 a.m. mass instead, all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. COUGH. I love this photo someone snapped, though: Merry Christmas, everybody!
