When my neighbors are being particularly obnoxious, when I am about to go mad from the extreme noise and seismic shaking, I have a super secret ultimate diabolic weapon of doom. But I don’t use it often. Something this powerful must be used responsibly, and only when absolutely necessary.
Happily, this usually does the trick. At […]

…be with you.
Happy Star Wars Day!
In observance, here is a link to Paul’s Steampunk Saturday post featuring a different, wicked cool look for Obi-Wan, Luke and the rest of the gang.

I snapped this photo of the maple tree beside our apartment building. See the tiny new leaves popping out? I think spring is finally gracing us with her long-anticipated presence. This is a section of this larger photo if you’re interested.
It seemed, and sometimes still seems, like this winter will never end. In some places, […]

As you may have read on Paul’s blog, we had a bit of excitement on Sunday.
As we were leaving Manchester after an afternoon visit to the bookstore, our car died while we were getting on the highway. It was a single-lane on ramp. Paul only just managed to get the car half onto the side […]

We were getting ready to drive to Maynard to visit Paul’s mom. As we were about to leave, we saw this out of our bedroom window, rising out of the high school parking lot.
It was really beautiful and peaceful. I love hot air balloons, as long as I can watch them from the ground. You’ll […]

It’s 80 degrees out. Eighty. Degrees. Out. It’s 80 flippin’ degrees at 5:00 in the flippin’ evening.
I think we just skipped spring and went straight from winter to summer. That happens in New England. But then again, it is New England and next week it could be freezing again. Or maybe not. After seven years […]

I have this aversion to food lately. Not when we are dining out. When we are out and about, and we stop for a snack or a meal, I my appetite is fine. I actually have a difficult time not ordering everything on the menu, and yes I’ll have fries with that. No, it’s when […]

Or is it daze?
Paul had Monday and Tuesday off from work. Monday we visited the recently renovated Currier Museum of Art, which was lovely. We saw, among other things, pieces from some of my favorites; Monet, Hopper, Sargent, Parrish, Wyeth, Remington, and Alma-Tadema.
As we’re planning to move to the Concord area, we spent Tuesday driving […]

I am happy to report that I have not yet lost my sanity. Siofra has begun to eat her meals again, and is keeping them down. For a while there she would not eat, and would sit and stare at the ceiling during the ‘child-storms’. But I think she has finally adjusted to the noise […]

I’m sure you’ve heard this before. The truth is, that life is full of challenges. Some are harder than others, and they can come one right after another. The challenges themselves are not what matter. What matters is how you handle them.
Recently I’ve been confronted with, what is for me, an extremely trying situation. As […]
