It's such a beautiful day out today.
I have a lot to do to get ready for our trip and�a messy house to clean.
I should pick up C from school, take up both straight home, make a quick dinner, and get to the cleaning and packing.
But, at the same time, it seems really unfair to keep [...]

Things that I need to do in order to prepare and pack for Celeste and my trip to NY and VT, for which the plane departs at 7:30am on October 5th which is in 5 days:

Everything

As I have always done with this space here, when a particular topic becomes prevalent enough that someone is either loving or hating seeing post after post of that nature, then it's time to move that content into it's own little corner.
I did this once before with Photographs. This blog became consumed with Photos. I [...]

This weekend was packed with fun, the highlight of which was the Texas State Fair on Saturday evening.
I'm not a big "Fair" person. It's not that I don't like it. I can just usually find just as much fun doing my own thing in a less crowded space for less money. And if I bring [...]

First of all, I'd like to point out the fact that, I love comments. Even if just a "me too" or an "I like this" or a "I disagree" or a "stop being a douche". Just knowing that someone cared enough to read through something I've written makes me day.

Rows and rows of empty boxes,
waiting for their fills.

There is a certain peace that comes with the understanding that something I was afraid to try wouldn't have worked out anyway. With the sadness of loss comes the satisfaction of knowing.
I'm taking Celeste to the Texas State Fair this weekend. If I go on Friday it'll be a mad dash to pick her up [...]

A few years ago spending time with people that mattered to me and respected me was the most important thing in my life. That hasn't changed. That still is what is most important. We are, after all, very social animals. Being social makes us happy. And, as I've said before, success is happiness.
But the people [...]

This morning, I am just blah. I feel like I'm not doing enough or being enough of anything. Despite having more of it, I feel like my time with Celeste is more rushed and less interesting. I feel the same for what little time I have for myself. I have so much I want to [...]

I've got a 9am meeting this morning so I have to rush Celeste out the door. This will not be fun. No bath. Eat in the car. And my having to say no in regard to playing, reading books, and going for a walk will probably bring plenty of tears. But… if I can keep [...]
