Saturdays are for getting eight hours of sleep…making muffins…drinking coffee on the back deck, visiting with Max, Charly, and Frankie while they eat breakfast…running with Rick Steves through the streets of Athens (me on the treadmill, him on TV)…cooling down to Three Doors Down…moving the laundry around…drinking more coffee while paying bills, blogging, checking email,…

Tom and company…Max (in the shade), Charly, Frankie, Tom…Charly, Frankie, Max

Tommy was barely two weeks old when the most awful wave of out-of-control mother's anxiety/premonition overwhelmed me, and I burst into tears. I know it was just the combination of overactive hormones on an overactive imagination, (think gasoline on a fire), but my thoughts flew far into the future, to a world at war and my baby son all grown up and…

Ah, Veggie Heaven with extra shrimp! Pass on the sake, though – I prefer red wine (specifically a merlot from Chile last night), although I'm sure there's a wine connoisseur out there somewhere shuddering about that.

My friend Kim had sent in invitation asking me…

I admit it…overall this was one of the worst years of procrastination for me (although is it truly procrastination when you're just so busy with other things that you don't have time for some things until it's almost too late?) But for the first time, maybe EVER, I had presents wrapped and under the tree before…

I knew it would be a busy day, but still…WHEW! First, an update on Tommy's vehicle saga: Tom changed his strategy…he left for Dallas at 5am this morning and just drove his Capris, not the truck and trailer. He already suspected the problem was the timing belt, and he was right, but Tommy told me (when…

I totally apologize for my last post. Sometimes I drive myself crazy! The truth is, I talked to Tommy on the phone about his new job for almost an hour two nights ago. I've talked to my mom at least twice this week, my sister a couple of times, and three or four friends. …I'm working…
