I am here for Friends

About Me

Profile modified by: The CricketSoda Myspace Profile Editor
Who Am I? I am a doer of many things, cooking, baking, art, sewing... but am neither a cook, baker, artist or seamstress. In short, I'm a Momma bird, to four magnificent little chicks. Is that all? Well no, not entirely... but it's pretty damn near everything.My loves: words of wisdom from people under five feet tall, acts of innocence from people under five feet tall, calling snow days when there is no snow, allowing vulnerability, dessert before dinner nights, having the nerve, finding the time, when the words don't come out of my mouth sounding as though I'd chewed them first, old friends who just "get it", new friends who might (some day), people who seem to run exclusively on heart, stories, feigned cynicism, natural tendencies toward optimism, yummy food, coffee, indulgence in general, scrabble nights, swimming days, Thursdays!, sunshine, thoughtful solo bike rides, teaching kids to cook, the sounds of geese flying overhead, trusty old dogs that stink a little, peacocks, thrift shops, rejuvenating stuff, old people, new people, many others...I love a lot.

My Interests

imagining stuff. making it real.

I'd like to meet:

grownups.

Music:

happens.

Movies:

make me cry.

Television:

drives me nuts.

Books:

are good, books are great.

Heroes:

little people doing tiny things to make this large world we live in seem a little bit smaller. my Mom. my kids. survivors...all varieties.

My Blog

Hey, do you speak-a my language?

My little Milo has had speech difficulties since the beginning, and at four years old, has hardly outgrown them. His vocabulary is vast, I struggle to think of a word he doesn't know the meaning of or...

Christmas is over, and  there is always that sense of relief with having made it through, along with a tinge of regret for the things which were left undone. The week prior was a trying one, with...

Baby, it's cold inside.

It is 58 degrees inside my house right now. We woke up to a very chilly 54. I knew it seemed a bit strange when "O" woke me up asking for more blankets last night, and it did seem a bit cold, but...
