I know what I know would not fill a thimble*

Hoo boy, the last two weeks really got away from me there. I intended to blog every day, and every day slipped from my sweaty grip and crashed to the bed in a heap of exhaustion. Oh wait, that was me crashing to the bed each night, steam sputtering from my ears. I just haven’t [...]

Kerri: Will you be going (Han) solo?*

Posted on July 19, 2010 | Category: Uncategorized | 4 Comments

Summer’s typically a quiet time in the book publishing industry, specifically the entire month of August when all of Europe takes a month-long holiday, but as of last week, my month of August is looking like it’s going to the busiest on record. Not only are we remodeling the kitchen (and throwing a party the [...]

I like you, Portland

When we decided we wanted to move from California to Seattle (gosh, more than five years ago now!), we had set our sights only on the Emerald City.

Posted on July 10, 2010 | Category: Saturday Snapshot | 6 Comments

Nothing says summer like a drippy ice cream, a green garden hose, and no pants. Rowan’s ready. *** I’d been planning a low-key overnight visit to Portland to hang out with Kerri for a couple weeks now, but the other night, my sleepy plans sort of exploded with the last-minute addition of Jennie suddenly in [...]

CSAy what?: Once upon a time, when the world was still a pancake*

Posted on July 7, 2010 | Category: CSAy what?, Uncategorized | 5 Comments

CSA: Week 3 I’ve been composing a life list in my head for a few months now — basically, it’s my New Years Resolution decade list with the addition (and omission) of a few items. Nothing so extraordinary that it requires a corporate sponsor or anything. (Ahem.) Just realistic and attainable goals — things I [...]

Friday, I’m in love: Yellow tote

Posted on July 2, 2010 | Category: Friday I'm in love | 4 Comments

Ever since professing a reluctance to embrace bigger bags, I’ve become the proud owner of THREE rather large canvas tote bags, including this most recent steal from Target. (Just $12.99!) I still can’t ever find my phone or keys when I need to (*SIGH*), but I love that I can haul around SO. MUCH. CRAP. [...]
