I was tagged by the beautiful Boho to write about 5 things that I haven’t already told you… hmm…I’ve already told you more than is decent to tell, but here goes.
1) I was six when I first kissed a boy.
2) I love drawing free-hand maps of the world. I love to draw the blue [...]
5 things I would write more about, if I were not utterly exhausted:
1) Your awesome list ideas rock. Thank you a zillion times. I have never, ever purchased any legit holiday gifts before, oh, December 23, and though that may not change this year, at least I now have no shortage of good ideas!
2) I pierced my ears over the weekend. This was a HUGE [...]
A little help, please
What might one give a guy this holiday season? I need some ideas…both for big gifts and tiny ones (Dh & I are uber cheesy; we exchange little treasures every day of advent–a tradition left over from my childhood).

2) The pure bright sunshine of today, and the way the clouds spread out perfectly at sunset in ribbons of red and pink against the blue bowl of the sky.
3) Dinner where everyone was talking and [...]
He is utterly obsessed
With wearing our shoes.
Remember these? They’re being put to great use these days!
Like crushing grapes
I feel myself doing the same thing I always do. Like a rodeo pony at the gate, my entire being bucks up against the process of sitting down to write about the things that matter most to me: about trying to make a life. Invariably this work always takes me to the brink of what [...]
10 random things
1) This reminded me how much fun it is to write an utterly random list.
2) Things I am into this month: pomegranates, this soap, making homemade granola, Scrubs on tivo, hearing my son giggle, and remembering to make time for the stack of books on my nightstand.
2) Sitting down and beginning anything—a manuscript, [...]
