Kitchen Out!
Our first proper renovation in the house has begun. The kitchen is an interesting place in my history. For me, it has very mixed emotions. My unhappiest and happiest memories are in a kitchen. Before my family, I would be punished in the kitchen. The grand event that got me moved out of my second…

These are the days…
…that the Lord hath made. Let us rejoice and be glad in them. 🎶 When I was young, spring and fall were my least favorite seasons because it meant rain and allergies while summer and winter were the days of vacation. Now, I barely tolerate summer as the heat is no longer my friend, winter…

Braids!
So… I thought I had sworn off doing braids again after having three goes before – each lasting fewer days than the one before. My first round was done at the same place as the two following, but by a different braider. I loved them and only took them out after two weeks because I…

TGIF!

A Peripatetic Lifestyle
The other day one of our friends told me as I was recounting our movements for the next few weeks that we were living a peripatetic lifestyle. I had never heard this word before, so they explained it to me. It’s true. Beyond just our travels, we tend to live this kind of life because…

AF Is Baaack!
**Warning: Possible TMI alert – blood and adult content to follow** 😛 It may have been the law of attraction. It may have been the Universe’s idea of a good joke. It may have been finally returning to regular yoga classes. It may have been a subconscious release. Whatever it was/is, my monthly visitor —…

What DO I do?
A common and fair question when we first meet people is to ask what one does – for work, for life, for whatever. For years, that was a safe and easy question to answer with no unintended nuances like ‘where are you from’ can hold. I knew how to answer it directly and, though, I…
