D.5G.5 – Piglet flu

A couple of years ago, about this time, my daughter got this strange, unnamed, mono-behaving virus. We named it ourselves because what good is an illness without a cool name to go along with it? Hers? Euphonium Fever. It kept her out of commission for about a month, behaved, smelled and tasted [...]

Phoning it in

Yep, it’s a cheat day here at Heidi’s attempt at NaBloPoMo. Had a lovely day with family and now this evening, I’m at mom and dad’s feeling W-E-I-R-D. Wondering if I can even drive home. Just…ick.

So, HI!! And, um…BYE! Tomorrow will be better. Or I will be. [...]

It’s good I’m a band mom

Truly, it IS good I’m a band mom. Because after watching the OSU vs. Iowa game today, I think I finally discovered why football is just not the game for me.

Okay, before the other Buckeye readers have 16 kittens, “WHAT!? How could you NOT love Buckeye football!? ANY football!? That’s…that’s [...]

All I Want for Christmas

Sing along with me now:

All I want for Christmas
is my own Tim Gunn,
my own Tim Gunn,
Yes, my own Tim Gunn!

Gee, if I could only
have my own Tim Gunn,
then I could tell you
that you’re fabulous!

I have said this sort of thing for quite some time now, but after last night’s Project Runway I am convinced that he [...]

I am sick…

Everybody with me now…AND TIRED…

…of being female. You men can stay. I won’t be talking vivid girly stuff here…not this time anyway.

There’s a side of me that no one has yet seen on this blog. Granted, so far everyone who reads it already knows me and knows full well that [...]

Wordless Wednesday

Trader Joe's Mint Chocolate Cocoa, Aunt Flossie's quilt and Glee – a trifecta [...]

If I had a Twitter…

…I’d twitter on a Tuesday.

Okay, so, I have a twitter. But, I haven’t twittered…tweeted…twatted. But, it’s been a not-having-heaploads-to-say sort of day, so if I blogged in tweets, this is what it might look like today, without that 140 character restraint.

My son’s dedication to practicing the french horn as his second instrument is admirable. [...]

September 14, 2008

After a 4 month hiatus on posting these, I bring back my series of Letters to Lisa. This is the 9th letter posted and now that I’ve taken a break to help ease my family into the grieving process after losing my mother-in-law, I think I’m ready to dive in, post a few more and [...]

A boy’s Promise

He gave me a big, wide-toothed grin as he grabbed the quilt, hopped on the couch and rested his head on my lap. After a few adjustments, his body was under the quilt, a snuggly ball just the right size for my left hand to rest on his bum. My right hand combed through [...]

Location, location, location

Ten years ago last month, we picked up our happy little family of four and moved from the community both husband and I grew up in. We thought we were doing the right thing. It felt like the timing was right. All our loose ends were tied. The home we’d found one [...]
