It’s the last week of school! How exactly did that happen? I have catching up to do here, but first, let’s just have a word or two about this week. This is Honey’s last week in her elementary school, and somehow I ended up on the ‘graduation committee.’ Ok, that’s a bit disingenuous as I …

The Dog Ate My Blog Post. And my Plants, and my Pillows, and my Porch…
I’ve never had a puppy before. Here’s the thing – it turns out when people say it’s like having another baby, only worse, they’re not actually joking around with you. We brought home this adorable fluff of fur, and the next thing you know she’s totally running our lives. There we were, making neurotic charts …

The Dog Ate My Blog Post
Seems to me, if you step away from your blog for a quick snack and don’t come back for months, your return post better have a hook. I spent some time thinking about it, and finally determined that the best way to jump back in would be with a tale of dreams-come-true. Let’s travel back …
Go Giants!
Today was a big one for San Francisco for sure. So many of our friends ditched work and school to hit the parade in the city. What a party! I’m not so great with the big crowds myself, so I was happy just to check in on the live feed from time to time. It …
Explain Your Reasoning
Honey is working on her math homework in the next room. One of the problems asks for an explanation of her answer. “Do you spell because b-e-c-a-u-s-e?” “Yes.” “How do you spell decimal? Oh wait. Never mind.” [long pause] “How do you spell ta-da?”
What a Weekend!!
FRIDAY Every Friday afternoon, Honey’s soccer team has a practice. I’ve mentioned it before, because we’ve had it this way for three years now – Friday soccer practice ends at 5pm and we all know that’s cocktail time. So we usually bring some snacks and drinks to the practice and kick off the weekend in …
Not Just the Clothes Make the (Wo)Man
I’m going to fess up front here – this one’s about clothes. You’ve been warned. Around this time every year I tend to look in the old closet and cringe a bit. Shopping is not on my top ten list of favorite activities – at least not for myself. I get itchy and self conscious …
Distract Me, Please
Things have been grim here, summerwise. It’s unseemly to say this, in the face of the East Coast heat wave, but we have been freezing all week. So much so that Tom has considered turning ‘fog’ into his own three-letter expletive. I guess we’re supposed to expect as much from a summer in San Francisco, …
Tooth Fairy Found
Turns out she was catching up on the Netherlands/Denmark game and got so caught up in the Denmark own goal that she, well, she got a bit distracted. Stay on target, TF! Step away from the vuvuzela.
Has Anyone Seen the Tooth Fairy?
What a flake – she forgot to show up at our house last night. What is her prob? (doh)
