Movin me down the highway

Posted by Jennifer

Continuing my very belated entry into the 21st century, I also got my iPod set up over the last few days. The gadget was my birthday present from Chris in 2009, but due to a series of unfortunate events, not even one song was placed on it for oh, 366 days.  Among the obstacles, my computer [...]

Care for a Threesome?

Posted by Emily

Morning Has Broken

Posted by Jennifer

It was 1972.  My friend Lisa was in love with Jim Croce, and I was in love with Cat Stevens. Our crushes were partly based on the fact that we lived in Missouri, surrounded by Scots-Irish-Anglo blond boys – and the exotic swarthy hirsute looks of our Greek and Italian crushes were very hot. When [...]

Start Again

Posted by Emily

I am not one for New Year’s promises but I do promise you all that I will do this for the next 30 days: I wrote a dozen checks yesterday and at least half of them have the 20089 feature.  Luckily, turning an 8 into a 9 is not that thorny.  2007 was tough.  I [...]

Today’s Trivia Question:  How many times can a grown woman and mother of two listen to “Landslide” (Dixie Chicks rendition) on her 40th [...]

I Heart Strings

Posted by Jennifer

Here’s today’s #1 reason a child should study a stringed instrument. Cello and violin have never looked and sounded so cool. \”Viva La Vida on YouTube\” Our house contains one lapsed clarinetist, one lapsed violinist, and one lapsed violist. Actually two former violinists if you count me – I stopped at age 16. I’m a [...]
