Summer: Day 9

Get out of the way. *Photo by Jeff Gay (Jeff took all of these lovely photos from The Padrino’s Birthday weekend this past weekend. I’m looking [...]

The Illusion of Control

June 28th, 2011

Last Friday, Gabrielle wrote about The Illusion of Control as her daughter Maude was in the hospital, and about how she (Gabby) sometimes turns to work when she needs a diversion from disillusionment …because, in her words…“I am in need of a distraction, and work is the only thing that sounds appealing, so I’m going [...]

21 Things I Want To Do Before Next Summer. (A Top 21 before 6/21/12 List) (#Lifelist)

June 27th, 2011

Photo from Anthology Magazine. For years now, I’ve made Yearlong To-Do Lists, Tax-Day-to-Tax-Day Lists, Birthday-to-Birthday Lists. Basically, small-section versions of the beloved Life Lists. But since moving to the country, it seems that seasons have started to matter more. Even our weird seasons in Texas. And not to go all moon-cycle Farmer’s Almanac on you, [...]

  • And We’re Off!

    I have a number of great shots to post about the Texas Margarita Mixer (so fun!) but first, we’ve gotta get out of here. Austin always plans its Spring Breaks to coincide with SXSW…and there are lots of good reasons for that…so we’re leaving on a jet plane. Don’t know when we’ll be back again. [...]

  • Mom 2.0 Is All Over My Kitchen Table

    What a difference a day makes. Since I posted what my kitchen table looked like on Monday, I thought I’d go ahead and show you what it transformed into on Tuesday.
