Prompt – Jan 5
Today’s prompt is “what is something you wish you knew how to do.” Where do I begin! Some things are pretty accessible. Like, a few years ago I wanted to try my hand at origami (modular, rather than traditional), and that’s pretty easy to do. You can use notebook paper (if you can cut it…

I’m participating in the bloganuary challenge (though I have missed some days and will surely miss some more), which means I will be responding to prompts throughout the month.

Fine at nine
This past Friday (December 3) was my 9 year anniversary at Automattic. I’m sure I’ve talked about this in past anniversary posts, but I remember when I’d been at A8c about 2 or 3 years, and some folks were celebrating 5 years, and I was just astounded. It seemed so long! And not many people…

Remembery
Grant doesn’t forget about stuff. You can’t distract him by saying, “let’s save that for the weekend,” on, say, a Monday and hope he forgets. He will not. Case in point: he came home from school on Monday and said, “mom, let’s write a story!” And I, up to my arms in cooking dinner and…
