Show-and-Tell Sunday: Not Much of Either!

Show-and-Tell Sunday: Not Much of Either!

My one-week-at-a-time approach toNaBloPoMo has worked for 22 days, but this may be the week it falls apart. Last week was a crazy-busy one for work–meetings, producing reports, redesigning other reports–and a rotten one for reading. I’m close to the end of three different books, but haven’t managed to make enough reading time to actually finish any of them…and even if I did get there in the next day or two, I’m not seeing much […]

Later, Longer List: Links of the Week, November 20

I’m more than halfway through NaBloPoMo now and that’s motivating me to finish the month, so even though it wasn’t pre-scheduled to go up at 5:30 this morning, there is a post today. (And to make up for being late, this week’s link list is almost twice as long as usual!) This week’s link roundup is brought to you via OneTab, with thanks to Two Bossy Dames for mentioning that it exists! Good to Read […]

Five for Friday: Links of the Week, November 13

Five for Friday: Links of the Week, November 13

The way things have gone this week, I wasn’t sure I’d get through much online reading at all, let alone have anything to share. But I really did not want to blow my NaBloPoMo streak on Friday the 13th–it just seemed too cosmically, karmically obvious–so I was extra-motivated to put together this week’s little list of links for you. “Just like people, no media is perfect. Everything is problematic, including this post. As a white, […]

A Dog’s Life: Words from Winchester, Vol. 2

We adopted Winchester a year ago this month! As a variation on Wordless Wednesday each week this November, I’ll be posting a photo of him captioned with my suspicions of what he’s thinking. I do not think he thinks this project is such a good idea. Subscribe to Blog via Email Enter your email address to subscribe to this blog and receive notifications of new posts by email.

5 Signs of Fall in Southern California

I know some of you may have already seen snow by now, but where I live, it’s been struggling to get below 80 degrees in the daytime. And yes, I am complaining about that. A little. It’s technically halfway through autumn! “Halfway through autumn” is about when it usually shows up around here, though. 5 SIGNS IT’S FALL IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA When the time changes, so do the temperatures (FINALLY). You go from needing the […]

Show & Tell Sunday: One Year with Winchester!

Show & Tell Sunday: One Year with Winchester!

On November 8, 2014, we brought home an addition to the family. Today we’re celebrating our first year with Winchester! Since he’s only four years old, we look forward to many more with him…even though he’s turned out not to be the dog we thought he was. The day we brought him home, and the first of many hours chilling on the couch with his best friend. Our little captain is on the bridge! There’s […]
