A Love Story
Posted in day in the life, Love Life, On Midlife, photography on April 1, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
Hello. Remember me? I’m that chick who has been neglecting her blog. Ring a bell? And right now, I’m also the one with writer’s block. There is a love story to report, however. Alas, it isn’t mine. Wait — that’s not entirely true; were it not for me, this story couldn’t be told. Let’s start [...]
A Fine Time

Once, a few years ago, I flipped through some old journals, going as far back as those from 8th and 9th grade. Two things became abundantly clear. First, I live a fairly boring life. Second, virtually every post regarded money, my (crappy) love life, or my parents. The only things that seemed to change were [...]
Lagoon

The East Coast is about to be pounded with yet another heat wave. To keep my geranium from bursting into flames out there on the balcony, I’ve brought it indoors to hang out on my dining room table. I was sitting here on the couch earlier today and the beauty of the red blossoms against [...]
My Disney

There’s no Mickey Mouse or Magic Mountain, but for me, this is the happiest place on Earth: The curtains in my bedroom are closed, but it doesn’t matter. The sun floods in through the vertical blinds in the living room and the glow creeps down the hall to find me. It’s like a good-morning kiss. [...]
A Day in D.C.
Posted in day in the life, photography on January 3, 2010 | 1 Comment »
I moved to the D.C. metro area almost nine years ago. While I had been wanting to move for some time, and had even been squirreling away basic housing supplies (dishes, pots and pans, and the like) for several years, when the time came for me to move, it was all done very quickly, within [...]
ISO: Connection

In my last post, I debated whether I should shred my old journals. You can see from my picture the results of my decision. I didn’t do it haphazardly; I reread the entries first. It wasn’t easy, though it wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be. I went through my last year of [...]
Reflections on the Good Things
Posted in day in the life, Friendship, photography, the 'rents on June 7, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I visited my parents this weekend. I love them, but staying with them beyond a few days is stressful. Also, I lived in that city for too long — and familiarity breeds contempt. Still, I’m going to reflect here on the good things about my visit: The first is Ren’s home and studio. My friend [...]
Skinny Scarf, Part I
Posted in crafting, day in the life, Friendship, Love Life, photography on April 12, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Finally, a picture of my finished scarf. I completed it a couple weeks ago, but only today did I find the right moment to photograph it. I’m very happy with it. It has a lovely drape, and the yarn — bamboo — is soft as silk. In other news, I spent the greater part of [...]
Budding Romance

I’m fortunate to live near an area known for its cherry blossoms. Since moving here about eight years ago, I’ve made the trek about five times. Maybe six. I don’t know what it is about those little flowers, but they really are spectacular when all those trees are in bloom. And everyone is so happy! [...]
