  • Bloganuary prompt – Jan 1

    What is something you want to achieve this year? I think of myself as not particularly ambitious, which is true and also not quite correct. The true part is that I’m not inclined to glory. I don’t need to get the credit or be well-known, or any of that (I do thrive on validation, however). […]

  • Reading

    I realize I just blogged about reading this year, but here we are again. After I picked up Cloud Cuckoo Land at the airport Friday, I really thought, “this is what I will snack on all the rest of the year. As I lie around relaxing with the fam, I’ll be reading this.” But I […]

  • A year of murder

    A year of murder

    Technically, the murders started late last year, at least for me, with Roger Ackroyd and nine odious and unlucky people trapped with a sociopath (also odious) on an island. Yesterday, I went to La Guardia at 12:30pm to catch a plane. Eight hours later and from a different terminal, I flew out (to the wrong […]

  • Cookie day

    Every year, my mother-in-law hosts cookie day at her house before Christmas. My sister-in-law and I bring our kids over and we make about fifteen dozen cookies to split between us all for the holidays. We always make three kinds, and this year we chose peanut butter, spritz, and chocolate covered pretzels. The kids make […]

  • Notes

    I have several ways I like to take notes while I work, and my methodology is pretty much non-existent. I use whichever depending on what feels right. My three ways of taking notes are: With Simplenote and my notebook, I expect those to be part of the record. I keep them – I don’t throw […]

  • A little bit stats, a little bit flowers

    Every year on your anniversary date, HR sends an email to you to give you some stats from the last year. Since I wrote my One Decade post the day before my actual anniversary, I didn’t have the email. Now I do, and these are my stats: Last year, these were my stats: While I […]

  • One Decade

    On Saturday, Dec 3 2022, I will have been with Automattic for ten years – a full decade. This is the only job any of my kids remember me having (the twins had just turned one when I accepted my job offer). The twins did think my former boss was Wapuu, though, when I told […]

  • Eleven!

    The twins are eleven! Hitting double digits last year was a big milestone, but somehow, eleven feels much bigger. We’re on the cusp of tweenage years, and puberty is looming. Both my first babies are very comfortable with their age – Eleanor has stated she is not eager to grow up too quickly, and Henry, […]

  • Bob at 42

    Today Bob is 42, which is the answer the life, the universe, and everything. This year of his life has been one of my favorites to spend with him; it’s been a very good year! He’s gotten stronger, working with his coach to become an excellent Masters runner. He’s switched jobs and spends his days […]

  • Costumes

    For the third year, the twins chose to be dinosaurs. And Grant continues to make his way through the Paw Patrol.
