Having a weeknight off is a rarity, and now that sports are ramping back up, being home the same night as B will be a bigger challenge. We took advantage of a Wednesday night in, instead of running out to one of our usual places (which we’ve been doing too much in my book). The […]
It really shouldn’t surprise me…
…that I still suck at blogging. July with no posts? Wow, go me! July was busy. The Fourth was spent on the Jersey Shore. The following weekend was a great Saturday (sushi and a concert) and then back-to-back weekends bookended a trip out to California to (finally) see my parents, brother, one of the cats, […]

Here we go again.
I’ve written that title so many times. I am a writer by trade, so you’d think keeping a blog wouldn’t be a challenge. But it is. I get into it for a a few posts and then time gets away from me. I don’t know why — or if — this attempt will be any […]
