Like the romcoms and Hallmark movies that obviously inspired it, there is not as much tension of “will there be a happy ending or not”, but rather how will these stubborn characters find their way to that happy ending freeze frame we know is waiting ahead of the credits.

A July Morning of Awesome
I suddenly realized that I’m having a great morning so far. I mean, sure, no one wants to get up before 6 with a crying baby. Yeah. Crying. She used to wake up happy, she used to play in her crib and over the monitor I would hear coos and giggles. I peeked once, sheContinue reading “A July Morning of Awesome”
Show Me… Your Kitchen!
It’s that time again… Friday is “Show Me” day ’round these parts! Thank you to everyone who participated last week! This week’s assignment: Kitchen… or something pertaining to the kitchen. I don’t love our kitchen. I don’t hate it, it is fine, but it is relatively normal. and nothing all that special. What I love are the things in my kitchen…Continue reading “Show Me… Your Kitchen!”
These Delicious Things I Made
Happy New Year! …. and all the jazz… I have to say I had a lot of fun during this past holiday season. I got to do some baking, got to do some shopping, got to do some adorable photo taking of Ella… and of course, got to do some serious family bonding time. Baby Ella atContinue reading “These Delicious Things I Made”
Adventures in Dining
I ate at In-N-Out Burger today for the first time. I won’t be back. It hasn’t really been for a political reason or a emotional reason that I have avoided In-N-Out in the past, it has had more to do with my reticence to give in to anything that gets THAT much hype… but alsoContinue reading “Adventures in Dining”
Pants!
This morning I put on a pair of pants. Not just any pair of pants, a pair of pants that are a size 6. This is a big deal. See, a while ago, I stopped wearing dress pants to work. I had a job that didn’t need dress pants… I wore leggings or skirts or dressesContinue reading “Pants!”
Boys on Bikes, God, and A Rainbow Connection
Ever since I interviewed Matt Mazzei about his grassroots organization, the Rainbow Delegation, (for GayFresn.com, read the article here), I have proudly worn my own rainbow bracelet. I don’t bother to take it off at that pool or in the shower. It has, like my support of the LGBT community, become an unavoidable part of myself. The braceletsContinue reading “Boys on Bikes, God, and A Rainbow Connection”
How Not To BBQ
How hard can it be? I asked myself. Turns out, harder than I thought. I know I am a bit behind the curve on learning to do some things. I was 27 before I did my own taxes. I was 28 before I made my first omelet. Seriously. I still haven’t managed to cook aContinue reading “How Not To BBQ”
Adventure in Ovens
The party was a success! The cookies were good, the candy was appreciated, the brie and apples were munched upon, the spinach dip and bread were gobbled up…. And even the apple crisp was enjoyed despite its brush with doom. Oh yes, the brush with doom. Aka, an example of just how NOOB-y I canContinue reading “Adventure in Ovens”
Machine Bread
In my continuing desire to be awesome (or rather, more awesome than I already am) I made my first loaf of bread in my brand new bread machine today. (Aside: New additions to our home: casserole dish, bread maker, baking sheets, nice glasses. Can we say “Nesting!”?) Ahem, I never considered myself a Bread MachineContinue reading “Machine Bread”
