All the things I am in love with right now.
Don’t everyone freak-out at once. But, I am going to be super cheery right now.
No. No. You haven’t clicked on the wrong blog. And don’t worry, it’s okay I’m sure I’ll be mad at the world, or the media, or the political sphere – anytime now –
But for this minute . . . Things I’m loving . . .
Afternoons with Keegan. Keegan and I have barely had anytime together on our own. Read the rest of this entry

summer by the numbers
36 ideas and 42 items on my to-do list.
3 weeks worth of classes, and 6 days of training.
87 schemes, even though my friend warns that we “flirt with future living”.
22 stanzas, that belong to 12 separate poems.
4 unit plans half undone. Read the rest of this entry

Sunday List
This week, was lovely, and a little bit idgy. I don’t do down-time well, I don’t know what to do with my brain, given enough hours on its own, it starts over-analyzing the crap out of things. I’ve been trying like hell to keep the hamster in the wheel as busy as possible, but it hasn’t been working. I mean you would think throwing an impromptu fourth of July/ birthday part for twenty-five people would be enough – but nope by two on the 5th, it was back on the wheel. Class starts tomorrow though. I will be more than busy for the next three weeks.
Summer To-Do

I’ve got nothing. . .
Nothing to write about.
No stories to tell,
no words to convey,
no angst to lay out on a page.
Nothing.
I mean,
I want to tell you all about this one time in Ireland,
but it will take too long.
And there was this certain day at work,
but I like my job. Read the rest of this entry

On Waves and Sand
Sand between toes never feels very different than it did the first time you were little, and saw the shore and beach before you. And the way the cold water stings, and takes your breath away, that’s all the same.

Weekend Haiku
Coffee and Marys
Bloodied. Pines block the view of
water by the bay.

Oh, hey, how you doin’ – or – summer to-do list.
Yah that was supposed to sound like Joey – yah, the one from Friends. Yah, I haven’t written in two months. Yah, I’m not sure what I had to say or not say. But here I am writing again. Making a list, because, well, you have to break the writers block some way, and well, I like lists. . . a lot . . like a whole lot.
Summer To-Do
- Write every day. Then blog it- Because, damnit, all my writing doesn’t suck
- Get exercise three days a week. So many studies lately relate happy mental health to serious exercise, it’s time to stop talking about/writing about it and start doing it.
- Shop the farmer’s market at least once a week.
- Work on organizing the kitchen and menu things, so things run smoother come September. Focus on creating some meals that are meatless. Buy this book, and start stocking pantry (ps that author will be at the Tuesday Market for local folks)
- Put up one local item from either the farmer’s market or local farm stand once a week. Check out this lady’s recipes
- Plan at least one adventure a week with the boys
- Do at least one spoken word open mic
- Maybe build up enough of a set list to do this fest
- Breathe
- cut myself some slack
Yah, that should do for today.

lazy day on the Cape
If only every
day could be lovely
and slow, just. like. this.
Time focused around
naps and meals and the lovelyness of
hanging laundry on a line.
