The Earth Mother

admin | April 21, 2006

It?s so quiet here during the day. Sometimes I play the television for background noise. Sometimes I prefer the birds and wind chimes.
Last night I was sharing some of my memories of young motherhood with Will. You see, I bought ?Mother Earth? magazine a few days ago and since then have been [...]

what fools these mortals be

admin | April 20, 2006

if they don't take time to go out and see A Midsummer Night's Dream performed by Port Tobacco Players.
You can find their site at www.ptplayers.com
The flier they made is lovely, but I can't post it here because of the format it was sent to me in - so - I'll just point you that [...]

Dojo Jojo

admin | April 14, 2006

I?ve had a couple of folks asking me about the sword fighting class, sooooo I figured I?d post a strictly informational blog.
The dojo Robert and I are training at is in Waldorf. Our trainer is Steven Huff ? he is also a teacher at Northpoint High School.
I get the impression that his business partner [...]

Poo Poo Pee Doo

admin | April 11, 2006

I have noticed for many years that whenever I have dreamed of a public restroom of any sort, it?s always a negative experience.
Why is that?
Am I alone in this bizarre dream pattern?
I know everybody has the missed a test dream or the walking naked in school dream, but does anybody else have the negative public [...]

My Big Fat Identity

admin | April 11, 2006

I don't want being fat to be my identity any more than I want other girls to make being skinny theirs.
I of course embrace art, activities and groups that include well upholstered girls like me, but I don't want it to be all about everything I do. I also don't want other plus size [...]

my chemical romance

admin | April 11, 2006

everybody's chemical romance
did you ever find yourself attracted to somebody and later wonder what the HELL you were thinking
when they did so many things you don't like
when they had habits that drive you nuts and you thought you were willing to overlook them
when really the chemicals in you were clouding your brain
when you look back [...]

Bikey Bikey, Exercise Me Likey

admin | April 11, 2006

 
Okay, so the gym thing wore off after Jade’s school time changed – I couldn’t run straight to the gym anymore and I fell out of routine.  It did remind me how much I like exercising, when the conditions are right.

When we lived at our old house I loved walking – I [...]

The LOOOOOONG Sword

admin | April 6, 2006

I went to sword fighting class with Robert today - I chose to study the long sword, he chose the cutlass. It was pretty fun. Next time Sauron comes, I'll be ready!
When we got home Robert plopped down on the couch and an old Star Trek was in the DVD player - he said, [...]

I'm Jeff Daniels

admin | April 6, 2006

Okay, I'm not Jeff Daniels, but sometimes I feel quite the resonance with his character in Pleasntville. If you haven't seen Pleasntville you are really missing out on a movie with many layers and a great message!
In particular, once I changed from doing everything the same, day after day (in terms of how I [...]

Sauron is coming to get us, honey.

admin | April 5, 2006

Day before yesterday the morning was overcast and a bit sprinkly on my patch of Middle Earth ? and then it was a bright and sunny day in the Shire. When Robert got home he decided to toss some chicken on the bbq so we could sit outside and chat and enjoy the [...]
