You know that saying, “No news is good news.”? I think that actually is true in a lot of scenarios. When it comes to adoption and waiting, I think no news is quite simply no news. So we’re still just waiting. And living life while doing so. In the meantime I’m sick. I’ve got a [...]

Parenting choices
Posted in Hodge-Podge on March 29, 2007 | 2 Comments »
I’ll never say never when it comes to parenting because what you think you might or might not do might be quite different when you have a real life child in the midst. And there is plenty of advice around, lots of books to read and specialists weighing in on issues. But I plan to [...]
It’s Monday alright

I am so tired this morning. And I should get some writing done because (a) I need to keep the book moving forward and (b) I can pretend that writing keeps my mind off the fact that we’re waiting to hear about the next contract. I’m like a big stress ball. Seriously. [...]
Our anniversary

Next Monday we will celebrate our 2nd wedding anniversary. In so many ways it seems like it has been a lot longer than 2 years. Granted we’ve been through quite a lot since we got married. Since we got married, we’ve indured a seizure scare, moving 1000 miles away from our friends and my family, [...]
Beginnings

Starting a new thing is always difficult. We’re reluctant to change and are quite happy with the status quo. Yet new things, beginnings, are always around the corner. It’s a new year, we’re about to start a new month, and I’m starting a new book. Now some writers might really [...]
I’m back

I’ve been away for several weeks because frankly I didn’t know what to write. I set this up as our adoption blog, but then we haven’t been able to move forward with that so I felt like I had nothing to say. But while we’re on hold from pursuing adoption we certainly have [...]
2007

It’s been a few years since I was glad to see a year leave. And I would be ungratful if I said there was nothing good about 2006; I have an amazing husband who adores me, the best family in the world, a blossoming career, two healthy kitties, and my list could go on. [...]
Travel time

We’re getting ready to go to my in-laws for a week and I’m so not ready yet. I almost have all the laundry done, but I haven’t even started packing and I still have a batch of cookies to decorate. Oh, and the house needs a good scrubbing before we take off. [...]

Let the decorating commence. Our mantle and hearth have been doused with festivity, our tree is up and shining brightly, holly with bright red berries adourn our porch and a wreath greets visitors, our table is sporting adorable reindeer placemats and snowmen and candles can be found scattered about. I’m just about done, [...]
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Just popping in to say happy turkey day. It’s been busy around here. Right after finishing my last book, my mom came in for a visit and we shopped and cooked and played and just had a great time. I was also able to show her the video from our adoption agency [...]
