Don't Touch the Stove 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I don't even remember how I left things with my cousin. It was awkward. I don't think she has said nice things to her friends and neighbors about us. They look at us like we're from the circus. I have not mentioned her, until now, to anyone except in the most neutral way. Maybe at times exasperated, but no details. She wants me, or anyone really, to make her happy, and it's not possible. Only she can do that. We ran into each other at kids' yoga, but she didn't come back. I haven't seen her since. Not for any really good reason. I'm just trying to avoid pain.My father sent a box of smashed and broken trinkets of my grandfather's, packed with no padding. Metal and glass. He called now and then. I didn't tell him only the Fu Dogs and a few paper and metal things survived. I told him I could not extend myself in his direction until I could speak with his sponsor. And that if he wants a relationship with my children, he first has to work on his relationship with me. He tried a ja
NYC Friday & Saturday 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Friday night Kym wanted us to go to the First Friday Guggenheim party, but we'd been travelling.We had driven, planed, trained, stepped. We had walked 9th Ave, had cookies and tea at Amy's, got some groceries at Amish Market including some yummy beef cervelat (so hard to find, so superior to sopressata, I absolve me of indulging during Lent!), and then went to Veritas for wine and cheese. We missed Scott, and Kopec wasn't there, but we had fun with the adorable new bartender, the always hilarious gang, and Bellardo, after which I was totalled. There was no way we could go be fierce at an art thing with a D.J.. Just no way. We made a plan to see Bodies with Bellardo the next day.We worked on the apartment, tossing, packing, labelling all Saturday
morning, snarfed some sandwich and fruit, and ran to meet Bellardo. Bodies was so disgusting, and so fascinating. I'm still grossed out, but also want to say I loved the circulatory system, especially the fluffy looking kidneys. The tiny bo Read more:Friday
My Generation 1970-01-01 00:59:59 We're headed to NYC for the weekend to begin the packing and clearing of the apartment. Just me and T. Apparently it was doing one of those bizarre, big-flaked, April snow things today. It always melts immediately, but how cool?T's working on the social calendar. We'll probably hit Veritas on Friday night, see some people there, have some brunches, do Palm Sunday church at St. Mary the Virgin, and we may even, surprise of all surprises see Ted. That would be something. It's been more wierd not seeing him on his ascent after seeing so much of him up until we had a baby and he got married. We've missed him.Reading the New York Magazine article on Grups was interesting. I suspect more of them have trust funds than not. And as far as their fear that they're so painfully cool their kids will become Republicans just to differentiate themselves? Well founded. I am case in point. Read my Leaving the Left post. Mom was a punk, doing that grup thing in the East Village in the late '70s an Read more:Generation
Human Sexuality at Trinity 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Exhausted. Third. Trimester. In full swing. Baby in lungs. My brain severely compromised from hormones and sleepiness. Time change and the weekend spent gardening not helpful. Stressful Sunday at church not helpful.Stressful Sunday at church? Yes, darling. That's how you know I'm Episcopalian. It's what we do.The last session of the human sexuality series took place. There was general disappointment over the lack of opposing view. Though they supposedly searched high and low, there wasn't one soul who would come out and 'splain why fags are unacceptable as partners or bishops if they're not closeted or celibate (i.e. not in a commited relationship, as if that means celibate!). They didn't want to be called gay-bashers.Hmmm, if the shoe fits...So they weren't there. They said they were scared. As if they have the right to fear, when LGBT people are so persecuted and in physical danger in so many places, and denied even the ability to work in others, including our diocese.

Technicalities, Tags & Categories 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I came back from buying bagels and actually believed the neighbors had a calf in their yard. It was a good one.I'm experimenting with tags, even though I'd prefer categories. Blogger is so wierd, but the google and technorati tie-ins are definitely effective. There just has to be a better way to categorize than archive by date in Blogger. The "technorati tags" as a footer option is clunky at best. Too much fiddling with code to be practical every day.Someone at O'Reilly mentioned something I was toying with, having multiple blogs/aliases and merging them. Still sounds clunky. Problogger talks about using Technorati and Del.icio.us, but it's not quite the same as internal categories. And I can't figure out how Del.icio.us gets into my blog. I'm sure I could rtfm, or their blog at least, but it seems like a lot of wading. The thing about tags is I'm promoting anyone who shares that tag, and may not even come up within a few clicks. So what's the point? I just want people who are Read more:Categories
Five Alive 1970-01-01 00:59:59 1. Wake early to the slow and painful realization I'm being bitten by the solid little clamp of D's three teeth. Left nipple still recovering. Feel sleepy and out of sorts all day. Give D Tylenol because the Hyland's is AWOL, she screams the whole time. I feel abusive because causing her to cry tweaks several mild neurotic hangover issues of mine. I remind myself it's just nasty tasting and she'll feel better, which she does. She plays on the kitchen floor. But I can't read any news or hear about the State of the Union because I must:2. Clean, clean, clean for the OM kids coming over to make props. The living room has largely been de-boxed by T, but there are still too many lamps, dust bunnies, magazines, toys, sweaters, and Costco items making their way to the back pantry.

The phone call from church is cut short at lunch because B could not wait, so opened the can of An Read more:Alive
Time Warp 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I've been in a vortex of teething, nursing, lack of sleep. I missed you last night but barely managed to get into bed with brushed teeth. Is that weird that I missed you?Yesterday I entertained myself with possibilities for decorating the van. Baby D had to nurse all day long. Nursing, sleeping, pooping, nursing more.First I checked Archie McPhee. Like maybe I need a hula boy. Then I thought maybe some string lights. I found a gaggle of bumper stickers like the (marginally less bitter and seething than most feminist bumper stickers) one that says, "Your lascivious gaze validates my existence." Or this Om. Or the old military favorite quote on a gun. And the Car Talk license plate frame. Then I got distracted by Amy Butler fabrics (which make me want to sew a quilt for our bedroom), and then there's this bag, then I started perusing Cotton Factory, until it became clear I was just plain shopping. But without actually buying anything.I don't know what happened to today. I think I'm s
Brain, Strain, Steyn 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I love brain stuff. Like this research. Never mind their single sex schools mission, the facts are astonishingly cool. Their ideas about how to teach to each as a result may be a bit contrived, but the brain stuff is good stuff.Then, of course, there is what we do with our brains. Here's a link regarding the Enlightenment as it pertains to Islamism.They're both long pieces, but so good. I'm assuming you've read Hitch on Steyn.That's your homework. Then get ye to the Make and/or Craft blogs.

Heavy Patter 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Gloat, gloat, gloat!I goh-ot caaarded, he, he, he, heeeee, he. And she looked my age or younger. Made my week. Seriously.Had some the gang over tonight. P said the Russian politician who got poisoned was probably not knocked off by Putin, but received the material to provide for nuclear ignition, spilled it in a hotel room and ate some when he cleaned it up. Doh! Said the guy supported the Chechen (Muslim) rebels and admitted his affiliation with Islam on his death bed. So he died trying to make a bomb to hit someone with, ostensibly for not being Muslim, one could wildly guess.He also said there's a group of scientists who insist the thing that made humans turn the proverbial corner on smarts was the interbreeding of Cro-Magnon with Neanderthal. I asked him if he'd heard of the wolf domestication theory. It created a hunting relationship second to none and influenced the hierarchical structure of human social systems. Both maybies are enticing.We talked design and work, and they ma Read more:Heavy
Van Without A Plan 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Stephanie, I started to write this response, then kept writing, so it's here instead of there. I know. I should decorate the van, right? It would be so fun. But I'm having identity issues, so I don't really want hula or cowgirl. Everything seems so fraught with meaning.Then I ask myself, what theme would you go with if it could be anything?Here's the thing, there are so many possibilities, but I don't have an answer. And that's buggy. It feels like a lack of commitment. It's really not, I'm just not in any kind of groove. It's both exciting to have the unknown of such flux, and frustrating to not have anything figured out. I know I'm just around the corner from all new and improved stability. Baby will be older, work will be expanded and clear, investment purchases will be made and clicking along.Signifiers. That's the hold up. They're signifiers, which is, after all, the point. Like club membership. Granted the VW is its own signifier, and carries with it the tradition of
Math, Medica, Mama 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I googled Kumon and found Indian Math. We may have to try it at $50 a year instead of Kumon's $1200.A question has been driving me crazy. If a basic homeopathic principle is that like cures like (alium cepa/onion cures watering, burning eyes, apis mellifica/bee venom cures bee stings, coffea/coffee cures wakefulness), how come arnica montana cures bruising and muscle pain when herbal--not homeopathic--arnica oil is for same, not cause of same. (Those spellings could be quite off...)No matter what, whether I'm hungry, tired, or desperate to pee, I love having a sound asleep baby on my lap. Sweet baby. And I want the kids to see snow soon. Maybe in NM. Even if D won't remember. It's been too long.
Homosexuality, the Bible and Women 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I've been mulling a few things over with the impending "human sexuality and unity in the church" shindig coming up. If you're not done with my ranting, read on.I can't believe there are people really torn up about this forum! Should we go? Will it be too contentious? Will there be homosexuals and those who hate them in the same room? If so, how are we supposed to drink our coffee without spilling it on our silk, I mean selves? Will anyone's mind be changed? Will we walk away thinking a few homosexuals we know personally are okay after all? If we do, what will God think? Will anyone mention hell, because that's not very Episcopalian, even if it's what some of us are thinking? Will some of the really old people, who are still miffed about women and the '28 Book of Common Prayer, die over this? Can it be soon enough?I realize, for me having grown up in a gay church and for the gay guys in the church, this is like being maestros among those still learning "Jingle Bells". And to expe Read more:Women

Maoist? Me? 1970-01-01 00:59:59 That's pretty funny. Or would be if it wasn't so problematic. And especially disturbing in context. It was meant in that light-hearted way Lefties often mean that sort of thing.If the two whoppers in the nightmare department last night, after the incident, are any indication, apparently I'm feeling a bit insecure. Not that I'm worried about actually being a Maoist
! But being badgered, really, into sticking my neck out, at a rather intimate function full of people from Church. Officially it's a Small Group, to which I was just invited. It was my first meeting. I am the youngest there by at least 25 years. Three members are retired, non-career priests. Two thirds men.While we can't discuss the content of meetings themselves, all of this happened after the amen. Apparently Church is not necessarily a sanctuary anymore. Oh honestly if it ever was, with secret fundamentalists here and hopped-up Democrats there. Pregnancy is such a vulnerable time anyway. And the dreams are already str
New Shopping, Required Viewing 1970-01-01 00:59:59 "Why don't you move?!" his friend asked, annoyed."I can't!"He practically spat it at me, the old coot. Return ye to Publix! I am the target market for Wild Oats! Your cart is empty! Mine is brimming with things you don't understand! And not one is a laxative!Okay, that was a little mean. But you should have seen his face! Pushing eighty and all bitter about having to wait for a mama to get her kids out of the way in a crowd. Gimme a break.The up side? We ate sushi in the van in the parking lot while I nursed baby and a warm breeze wafted in the door. It was pretty cool. The only hard part was T telling me something on the phone about capital gains, an eventual plan involving primary residence, something about flooding, suggesting maybe Naples isn't feeling like a good fit for us long-term, perhaps it's a bigger building we're looking for, but where, and he has the meetings all booked for the trip. This while the baby wants the phone, the kids kick each other and fuss, and Mom te Read more:Shopping

On The Verge 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I am Tired.Alternately Dejected and Belligerent.Leaving to find a better place seems like a good idea, then reframing and re-structuring seems better. There is a sense of drowning here. There is great potential here.We are trying to define and create our dream at the same time. It is quite painful in that Junior High squirmy way. It would be tragic if there wasn't such hope.I am tempted by the lure of just wanting NYC again, but then I realize I know the reason for NYC diaspora. We are too old for it, because if you leave, you can't just jump back in, and it only wants young bodies for fresh meat. It is a kind of beast. We are better off. We just can't accept that reality.The kids are suffering from months of chaos and change. Their behavior is plummeting. K stays up too late reading, B has started an all out war on protocol.

I'll listen to Pandora and clean my desk with baby in the backpack.Maybe I'll have a spa day and shave my legs, paint my toenails, masque my face, trim my hair.Maybe I'll go through my closet and get rid of things. Maybe I'll sew something. Or work on the tee-shirt quilt for B.Maybe I'll try to find some cheap, live music in town, or go see some art. Maybe I'll go to Ft. Myers and get the cafe mag with all the happenings. Find out about Art House.We need a babysitter. Who does not leave a mess, eat the expensive cheese, call sick half the time. Who can keep up with the kids, is fine with a smart and intimidating dog, maybe who speaks good Spanish, or tells great stories, or who can climb the tree, or teach the children something about grace and compassion.

The Light of Day 1970-01-01 00:59:59 We actually spent the day nursing yesterday, baby and I. Sometimes a day of nursing and resting is just the ticket. The kids and I re-connected and relaxed. Baby D was all smiles. The kids played with her and listened to Spiderwick. My happy and excited husband called from NM and we talked about our plans. Mom and I talked about all Naples has to offer.I can't say I got much on that fantasy list done, baby had her own ideas. Nothing was cleaned but my hair, and B's cut, a little laundry, the dog crate, and a few rugs. But it was a soft and sweet day spent with the children.Pandora was fun. They found me some new music I may have to buy. The news from NM was intriguing and involves long drives, airstrips, old towns, people who are "soooo nice" and a little snow. Best of all, T sounds like he's finding a path on this treasure hunt. I can almost taste the relief of a made decision. I looked for guitar straps. I found cool new bloggy things. The cat grass is growing, my passionflower ha
Sundry Parts 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Can it already be Wednesday? I've been in a nursing vortex. It's no small thing when it picks up like this. I'm tired from it, but cheerful. She's teething hard, sometimes on me. She wakes up crying sometimes, even in my arms. It's her hurt cry (versus tired or hungry). She's also exploring more of the floor. It's excitingPoor Ruby went to a new groomer who we asked about the constant itching. She said the rash was bad enough to see a vet, and not our usual vet, with whom I have never been satisfied. The new vet was today, and $300 clams later Ruby's been anaesthetised to have her ears properly cleaned, been taken off the Evo and put on sooooper hypoallergenic Royal Canin. Three months should let us know. Also ear drops and a systemic anti-fungal. Whew. Plus a shot for mites and hypoallergenic heartworm med. Puppy is totally wiped out, but seems better already about the ears. She had a flea on her head when I said hello to her, but that could just be from the yard.Maybe now she Read more:Parts
Pressured Musings 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Things I have heard said in the past few days that got me thinking:"If they tortured you in the place you grew up, why didn't your parents move?"And that makes me wonder why we stay in Naples. Further, I don't think of Florida as any kind of cool. Naples is one thing, Florida quite another. I don't need to go see the 'Gators, I don't get all "Ra Ra" about the state, I don't really like it, frankly. Even though it's gorgeous. I don't have any pride of place. And I didn't think that mattered, but maybe it actually does. Even if it's silly. But if not here, where?"She got mad and threw away his Viagra, so he doesn't mess with her anymore."Subtle."If you leverage and mortgage in a 1031, would you pay more in interest over 30 years than you would save paying 25% taxes now and taking the cash? This is with equity, cash flow, appreciation and depreciation aside."An interesting new piece to consider. Like we need another thing to consider in our trial-by-fire crash course...

Jury's Still Out 1970-01-01 00:59:59 The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam and the Crusades is clearly propaganda, yet compelling for the sheer persistent volume of what appear to be data. Also it's the piece of the puzzle never spoken, at least not at any of the schools I went to, nor in any of what I once considered polite society. I guess it's still impolite to discuss political particulars, but people seem less concerned about politesse these days. (Hey! This ain't no party! It's a diary!)Several points make me wary of really embracing the argument he provides. He seems a bit, um, enthusiastic about Christianity. And given another guide in the series, I do wonder what the publisher's broader agenda is. It does beg the question.Still, important if true. Even if only parts are true, there is enough disturbing cause for concern. I'm about three quarters through the book, and already feel like launching another crusade. Which is nutty, and how I know it's propaganda. Mellowing into vigilant interest is probably
Milk & Famous Last Words 1970-01-01 00:59:59 What were those last words? Something about rain and a good night for sleeping? Ha! I was up aaallll niiight looong with the rain keeping baby awake but wanting to nurse back to sleep. This side, roll around, fall asleep, kick me and fuss, that side, fall asleep, roll around and kick me, this side...Aaaallll niiiight.

I'm not actually looking for sympathy, but offering my experience in order to support other nursing families and educate those who may need some perspective. Baby D's now asleep in my arms, K is doing schoolwork at her new desk, B is tootling around in his room. All is well. Except we have the Odyssey gang coming over later today...I find the Read more:Famous

Old Flame 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Have you ever had a funny rash of someone's name from the past come up? I figured all the googling must mean something was going on and found this about Blue. Sweet, eh? Funny, he looks exactly the same as in high school. And Laura's cute, which doesn't surprise me. I'm glad to see them well.I also found an old mutual friend on the old Humanities alumni website, so we were just talking about him, among others.There are things I've meant to return to him still in my archives.
End & Beginning 1970-01-01 00:59:59 It is done.We closed on NYC today.We are giddy. It's weird. It's good.An opportunity came up almost immediately in one of the markets we've been researching. Much better than anything we'd looked at previously. One of those things. We're going to try to catch it.I made angel food cake tonight, with green tea in it, but I don't know if it's green inside. I thought a ginger custard would be good with it, and use some of the yolks. I hope it's good. The family have sworn they are my willing victims. I mean tasters. They're willing to eat the evidence if it's not amazing. But what if it is? Will report back.
A Light List of Concerns 1970-01-01 00:59:59 1. It's weird to be on (working) vacation with so many people suffering from Katrina. Instead of buying all the things at the mall I wanted (as if we could afford any shopping), I only bought a tiny canister of Green Tea solid perfume from L'Occitane. Then I came home and drew pics of all the clothes that caught my eye. They can be future knit/sew projects. Skirts, sweaters, lacy tops, silky things, accessories. Anthropologie has some truly lovely lovelies, and there were a select few at Banana Republic, J. Crew & Urban Outfitters. Didn't see much at Abercrombie. I'm so glad I already have my Lucchese boots. If we had a scanner handy, I'd show you my notes.Living in a hurricane-prone place is also strange. Because when it doesn't hit us, I feel so relieved, and then that feels wrong because it hits someone else. So I cry anyway, and send money, and let the kids watch too many cartoons. This one is particularly bad, as you know, and sooooo politicized...meanwhile, there are still
Soul Shake 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I have some soul searching to do. Seriously. And T and I together as well. And then with Mom, too. We are at one of those potentially life changing moments. NYC is sold. Our house is funky. Building has slowed.The questions we are asking ourselves as a group are consuming. Will there continue to be enough work Faux painting without the (now complete) summer projects we've had previously? If we expand to include painting crews will there be enough of a margin? Can we realistically hire crews going into the off-season? If we get the Dharma website up and running, will it take off? What kind of further R&D is needed? Do we even have to stay in Naples for the summer? Might there be more work in the southwest? Is it worth it to try to break into another market? How can we avoid the depressing Florida summer and the nerve wracking hurricane season?T and I can only come up with a few questions, and nothing like answers. If not Faux, what? If not Naples, where? And why? And how does that tran Read more:Shake
Good Read, Food, Buy 1970-01-01 00:59:59 No one warned me. Bridge to Terabithia is terribly, extremely sad. I think it's okay to tell you that. In fact if you haven't read it, and are trundling along, naively investing yourself in every step of the story (and, you must because it's that well written), even if the foreshadowing is clunking you over the head, believing because there's now a Disney movie about it it must be all sweetness and light, you are in for a shock of sadness. Like three or four chapters worth of crying sad. Like good luck reading it aloud because of choking. But you will anyway because you can't just leave it there. You have to read the rest. Then feel all chokey even the next day. I can't tell you any more. I'll cry again.Just a little more.The reason it's so sad is because it's so magical and wonderful. It's full of such hope and promise for the characters. You have to read it. Preferably aloud. Preferably to children. Preferably over the age of seven, ideally around ten or eleven.

Bloggy Day 1970-01-01 00:59:59 My new favorite blogging tech website is Mandarin. It's juicy. I also love the flowers here.I'm no closer to really understanding CSS, but I'm preparing mentally. I fooled around making bad banners today while nursing a feverish baby, made some candy hearts which I love, and checked out some other folks made (whoa, Betty! they can be hilariously crude!

To "B" 1970-01-01 00:59:59 In response to Grave Tactical Error in July of '06, which is an irrelevant post a few posts up-screen from the popular Name Dropping post in which his name appears, I received this comment, ostensibly from Blue Kraning. It was from CA. No other part of the blog was accessed, just the Archive for July '06. The entire visit took 40 minutes.Anonymous said..."M, I am extremely glad to hear you are happy and well but ask that you please take my name off of your blog. Best Wishes,B"Well. That's chilly, and cowardly. Especially considering I was in that first Super 8 you so fondly mention in your bio. I didn't think I was that mean. It was high school, for heaven's sake!Given it took you over a year to even have a noticeable web presence, which gave you the light bulb to google yourself, and dig eight pages deep no less, and this is a public venue, you might have taken more than 40 minutes to consider the tone of your comment. Most people sign in and say hi, or content themselves with kn
Feeding Frenzy 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Snow pea vine tips with flowers, sliced puffy tofu and oyster sauce. Shanghai style steamed turkey dumplings with red cabbage, green onions, poblano pepper dipped in tamari spiked with Busha Browne's Pukka Sauce. Baked yam disks fried in olive oil. Black Japonica rice cooked with bay leaf and cinnamon stick.That was a lovely thing. Light and delicious. K really helped me make the dumplings. It was fun working together.That was a little Jerry Springer today. But without the hair pulling and swearing. I was just so...annoyed. All the other alumni have been so enthusiastic and curious. I don't get it.Moving on.Baby's fever hasn't been too bad today. I'm glad for Mother's Milk Tea though because she's nursing like crazy and it really helps with production.The weekend has to be about organization. NYC stuff: the books need to go on the shelves, the other boxes unpacked a bit. Our closets have to be moved from the back to our new room. My desk has to be switched (terrifying thought).

All Good Things 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Even though it's not until tomorrow, we decided to use the weekend to party with K for her birthday. She was born at 2:30 in the morning, so that seems pretty fair. We'll do cake tomorrow. She wants carrot, bless her.We did a full day, even though I have the cold now too. She had it first, so she's almost done with it, B is just behind her, then baby, and I've had it since yesterday. It's not terrible, just annoying. I'm happy as long as I can breathe. My lungs are clear as a bell, so I can sniffle and sneeze continuously and still be really, truly happy. It's amazing what an even moderately scary health thing can do for one's perspective!Anyway, went by the theatre and got tickets for Terabithia at 7:30, and I ran into the new Asian market for more of those snow pea vine tips. Delish.Then to Books A Million and bought the D&D Player's Handbook, DM Guide and the Draconomicon, which was the clincher for her. We still need the Monster Manual, but that's easy.
