After my loooong post the other day, I am presenting you with a shorter post on the same topic, addressing another of the supporting arguments in that ridiculous indictment of feminism that I lambasted because I was feeling fed up with the state of the sexist world that day.
The argument: Because men simply won’t do housework, women have [...]
My daughter didn’t just make lunch for me yesterday, she put together a beautiful feast.
Look at this! Apple fritters! OMG, these were DE-licious. (And sparkling cider there on the left.)
Two types of sandwiches! Egg salad and cucumber. Plus, a beautiful Polish (or Ukrainian, maybe) salad. And another (!) dessert—strawberries with Balsamic vinegar and mascarpone. Heavenly!
And [...]
YogaMum tagged me back! Here’s a marriage meme for Valentine’s Day.
1. Where / how did you meet?
At a coffee shop. He sat down at my table. We talked. We went out for dinner. We saw each other again and again and again. (There’s a longer version, but this is the short, sweet one.)
2. How long have you [...]
Jan tagged me a few days ago, but I’ve been in the real world and out of the cyber world, so am just now getting around to it. This is similar to that ten facts about me meme I did recently, but I’ll try to think of new tidbits for this one.
The rules:
- Link to [...]
I decided to take a picture of the beautiful box my daughter decorated and gave me for Christmas (the photo doesn’t do it justice, unfortunately—it is gorgeous, with several types of wood and copper edging, and, as you can see, a picture of the two of us). I wanted to share my gift with y’all.
So I [...]
Yesterday my daughter graduated from college.
She graduated number one in her class in her major (architecture). Here is a photo of her giving her speech (click for larger photo; I’m sorry it’s a little blurry).
Here is a photo of the two of us. She’s just a tad taller than me (and no, I’m not short—I’m [...]
for the whole weekend and, as a consequence, failed to notice that I was a taggee. Good ‘ol YogaMum got me (back)! [and I don't mean that she is old, I mean good-'ol---because she's younger than me!]
So . . .
What is your least favorite holiday task? (e.g. shopping, cooking, wrapping)
Shopping, especially for my husband—it’s so darn painful. Every year I try to talk him into not buying gifts for one another, and every [...]
Here’s a video of my daughter’s dance troupe in a swing competition this past summer.

And, if you’re feeling stressed out about work, or anything else (heck, who isn’t?), go watch this video (found at DZM’s blog).
Yesterday was J’s 22nd birthday.
Happy Birthday to you!!
This is the first time my cake did not collapse in the middle. Yahoo! Celebration! Ring the bells! Okay, in the interest of full disclosure, it was a little lopsided, but it looked pretty good. Unfortunately, I did not think of taking a picture before it was devoured. I [...]
Tagged three times recently and what a sluggard, I haven’t managed any of them—busy, actually—working on that interbeing post at gartenfische and finding all kinds of cool, cool images and articles on the Internet (plus the usual life stuff). My mind is whirling. I apologize, friends, for my uncooperativity/invisibility. I’m writing up the most [...]
