A Tennessee Trek

It’s been a long time (way too long) since I’ve written here and I really have no good excuse for my lack of posting, except that I’ve been too busy living life to write about it lately. But in light of recent big life-changing events, I feel a post is in order. I’ll try not [...]

A family affair

Things have been very busy around here, which is why I’ve sort of dropped my blogging frequency. Mike and I are in the thick of a hunt for a new apartment, which is consuming an unbelievable amount of time. We like the place we live now, but we really need more space. Plus, its incredibly [...]

Losing another loved one

I’ve sort of been ignoring this thing for a while, but today, I feel the urge to write. It’s been an interesting and sad week that began with a phone call on Sunday morning from my dad telling me that grammy was in the hospital and not doing well. She continued to decline and on [...]

Happy Birthday Brother Bear!

Today is my baby brother’s 21st birthday. I can hardly believe he’s this old. Partly because time is flying and partly because if he’s 21, that makes me almost 26. Gulp. Michael and I may not talk on the phone every day, but he’s one of my best friends in the whole wide world. As [...]

Time for a re-invention

“Not till we are lost, in other words, not till we have lost the world, do we begin to find ourselves.”-Henry David Thoreau
I haven’t written here in more than a week and while there’s not one specific reason why, several factors have contributed to my lack of postings. The first is that I’ve just been [...]

Dreaming of summer

The other day, I watched “The Time Traveler’s Wife,” starring one of my favorite actresses, Rachel McAdams. The movie tells the story of a man who has a genetic disorder that causes him to travel through time and of the girl/woman he meets in his travels. I thought I had read this book, but I [...]

Think spring

It’s spring! We’ve been experiencing such lovely (and unseasonable) weather in the last week that it seems to have put me, and nearly everyone else, in a really great mood. It’s hard not to smile when you can wear shorts outside in March in Massachusetts! Mike and I went on our first outdoor run last [...]

Some much-needed R&R

Th weekend flew by, but it still managed to be both productive and relaxing. Mike and I tried to go to this new restaurant/bar in Cambridge called Lord Hobo, but there was a line just to get in the door! It’s where the always delightful B-Side used to be and judging by the popularity of [...]

Vacation anticipation

Muzzy’s longtime love affair with Alka Seltzer has finally paid off, as it seems to have (mostly) cured me of this rotten, little cold. I’m really glad because Mike and I are headed to Colorado next week for some skiing and relaxation and the last thing I wanted was to be sick on our trip. [...]

Losing a loved one

I had a nice post planned today about how much fun I had over the weekend with Mike and my family up in New Hampshire at the annual ice fishing derby. And it was really fun–despite the frigid temperatures, Mike and I managed to stay out on the ice for hours and really enjoyed ourselves. [...]
