Oh cod.
My dr was so nice.
Though she acted like she’s never met me which makes me wanna twich. To her credit she’s seen the kids once each and me only once, like, 100 years ago. But still. oh. I remember why I love her so much. She was super super nice to me.
Although she did pick up my frappuccino and eyeball it questioningly. Even reading the side of it (decaf, mint mocha chip thanks) Thank
At this rate, only six years until JNCO phat pants come back with a vengeance! (via)
We played today. It was a gorgeous day outside. We went to a friend’s house and jumped around a bit. The kids found berries to snack on, which they thought was really cool. Then we headed out to the beach for a picnic and some splash time. J even …
The world is divided into two kinds of people: those who have tattoos, and those who are afraid of people with tattoos. ~Author UnknownNot sure how true that is, but one thing is for sure, after tonight I now fall into the former category. For years …
ok… ok… maybe not that news worthy to some… but for me who never buys clothes… well it is something worth mentioning… honestly…
I have never spent so much in one day on clothes in my life!!! actually I have never even spent 1/3 of what I spent yesterday…
I really needed it though…
All of my clothes […]
I wrote this for my friends at Vain to post on their blog, but I wanted to share it here, too
I’m a marketing manager in my mid-30s. I work on the Eastside in a windowless office where I do stuff like social media campaign strategy (zzz), PR planning (*blink blink*) and mulling the return on […]

meeting milo…, originally uploaded by katerw.
Last week Leah and I had the pleasure of meeting Milo and one of his mom’s caught our excitement and his possible confusion.
So a few weeks ago I had a dot on my stomach. Followed by a little circle, like, nickel sized. Thinking they were irritated skin or something I ignored them.
The larger spot started to spread very strangely. Getting white in the center. Josh thought, perhaps, it was ring worm. So I started attacking it with antifungal and forgot about it. It’s much lighter but it’s so still there.
Then about a
Its been a while. I'm not really sure why I haven't been moved to write here in so long, I've been busy, yes, but that's not new. Things haven't been uninteresting… at all. I guess I just…

Monday night David arranged a movie date since he reads my blog and is a savvy husband. We saw the new Pixar movie WALL-E. We had a good time. I got popcorn and candy cause the last time we went to a movie was the night before my PET scan and I couldn’…

I’ve had a couple of funny experiences lately. Last Saturday, my girlfriend Holly and I were wandering around the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens in Prospect Park. It was very lovely. But at one point we came around a corner, and ran into this woman who said, “Alison! Holly!” And although she looked very much like someone […]
Well, it’s been a crazy couple of days!! BJ has been having some health problems on and off now for about a year. I’ll spare you the gorey details, but basically he would randomly have a couple of days where he couldn’t keep any food or liquids down. W…
Still back East in such a vacation mode that I haven’t even kept up blogging about it.
Took a trip to Western Mass to read by the lake and get bitten by mosquitoes. Ventured into the city for NYC pride which was a very wet rainy affair, but still uber gay. Jumped a megabus down to […]
We just picked up our car for the third time from the dealership. The back driver-side wheel keeps locking up. When this happens we hear a terrible screeching noise and the car slows down and turns. Not a good thing to have happen on the interstate….
There many things that really get under my skin, like people that put stuffed animals in their car’s rear window, cinnamon, Log Cabin Republicans and red light cameras. But as of this writing, far and away, my biggest pet peeve are flips flops.Now, I m…
OH! I am fucking STOKED.
One of my favorite local italian restaurants? Agreed to host a fundraiser night for us. Short notice but it will be next Thursday. 20% of the tabs will go directly to us-provided the people have one of our flyers! (And by us I mean split between Jena & myself and another gal we’re going to see if she’s interested in joining.) They are also allowing us to set up a booth
Life in Minam is not for the faint of heart…
Mothra and I have come to terms with each other. ‘Round these parts, the evening light fluttering critter that I’m known to run screaming from, comes in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors. There’s no fear of moths in the canyon because I am far out numbered. In order to cope with the magnitude of the moth infestation, I ask myself “What Would
Because 5 just isn’t enough, I have added another blog to my list.
This one is called Memories Through Photography and it can be found here.
I have spent the last 4 days working with my husband on getting his company organized on Quickbooks which has been interesting and exhausting. Most of the work has to happen […]

My net worth is so high these days that even this month’s large drop due to stock market drama doesn’t really bother me. It may not seem all that high to some of you, but to me it seems like a huge amount.I don’t mean to sound cocky. On the contrary, I…
We just got a notice that my partner’s stimulus payment of $600 will arrive this week. I got mine a long time ago, because I had a refund coming so I put down a bank account number for direct deposit. Because M owed money and had to send a check, he fo…
Last Friday I decided to head to Montreal to see an old friend who had a photography/art exposition… I picked Simon up at work and we headed up to St-Denis and Deluth and I found a parking space right away which is always a nice thing…
We headed to the gallery to make sure that she […]

The pool went into Summer hours and it makes it a lot harder to go… I would have to leave the minute Simon gets home to get my hour in… which would mean that supper would have to be done completely before Simon gets here… […]
A poem describing the Iowa weather so far this summer. Every time it dries up the mosquitoes attack. Then it rains again giving them new breeding grounds. Will we ever get to go outside without threat of rain or West Nile Virus? Not to worry. The …
Do you ever feel like you are wearing to many hats? I feel that way sometimes. Hats are labels or roles that either you put yourself in or you allow others to put upon you. Some of mine are: Super Mom, wife (chef’s wife at that), sister, daughter, …
We were having a nice relaxing lunch at Olive Garden today. Well the others were relaxed. I was trying to calm a baby that was hungry and tired. I ended up feeding him at the table which made my husband freak out. He is always afraid that the manag…
That’s about all I have to say.
100 degress? In western washington? Is bullshit.
Especially when it’s only June.
We’ve already had a good half dozen of those kinds of days this month.
Fuck. that. shit.
I have even been up and about and out and around in this weather and productive but today? All fuel has been used up. My resources are tapped out. I hate this shit.
And it’s really not
A few things to report. My CT scan came back clear. So yay. Cancer is still gone. So I guess I am glad I ate the paste and endured the barium belly. Friday night was opening night for the play David directed at the Palace; Daddy’s Dyin Who’s got the Wi…
Sarah and I go way back. All the way back to like 8th grade or something crazy like that. We didn’t go to school together, but we did attend the same church and were very active in our youth group. I’ve known her for years. She’s getting married in 8 w…
The word at Mo’s Manic Monday is Pride.
This is going to be a piece of cake. I have been brimming with pride ever since Friday, June 20th when my son graduated Pre-K.
Walking into his class room with his father who has only been to school once I thought for sure he would bolt from his […]
Those of you who have read my blog for a while probably know about my beloved dog, Duff. Ten years old with the physique of a five year old, nearly a hundred lbs., and as robust and good an animal as any I’ve had the privilege to know, the fellow was …
It was 85° yesterday, and Andreas and I were walking four blocks from our house to dinner. I noticed he had his backpack on, and asked “What’s with the big ol’ backpack? Are we going somewhere after dinner?”
He looked at me and thought. “I don’t know,” he said. “I don’t need anything in my bag […]

My Goddess cracks me up every day. She is funny, witty, lovable and just plain cute but when she apologizes I just want to cry. She always comes back and apologizes AFTER she has had time to think about it.

I hope tomorrow morning my little man is feeling better.
Today was the first time since he was 21 months old that he complained about his stomach. We have been fortunate with illness, or ailments in this house for the last 3 years.
He started complaining at about 1:30 right after lunch. He basically said, “mommy, my […]
Look at that face! It looks like the heavens are shining down and he knows he was just baptized.
