  • Making our own rules

    Mismatched clothing
    Today in the Smithers-Greene, I’ve allowed myself (with Andy’s blessing) to wear prints with patterns. (Buxley doesn’t seem to mind, either.)

  • Singing “It’s Christmas Eve,” a song I wrote

    I wrote this song as a sort of rollicking sea shanty. It’s just one of those things that spontaneously came forth! Our kitty, Callie, makes an entrance at the end.

  • Getting past the morning

    Sometimes you have to get past a little unpleasantness at the start of the day and move on. This morning Andy came into “my” kitchen (where I was cooking breakfast), turned my French toast, and reheated my bacon in the microwave. I thought he was ruining it, but in fact I had undercooked the bacon, and the French toast was tough. So it’s just one meal out of life and it’s just a few minutes of arguing over whose kitchen it is and who’s a control freak. Then you have to get back to the business of living life and loving each other.
