Don't you visit me tonight!
Saturday, 29 March 2008 4:12 P GMT-05
Today Sophie and I were watching LOTR, FOTR to be exact, while the boys were napping. Sophie kept fast forwarding and rewinding the part where Lurtz is "born". It used to be that we couldn't watch that part as she would get

Bat in my bedroom, part 2
Monday, 24 March 2008 11:39 A GMT-05
At 4:30am we were revisited by the little brown bat that has figured out a way to get into Jim's closet from outside. Does that need clarification? Probably. This is a simplified cut-away drawing of our upstairs bedroom. J
Moroccan Braised Lamb
Sunday, 23 March 2008 10:32 P GMT-05
M and I saw a segment on Martha Stewart the other day for Moroccan Braised Lamb Shanks. The contributing chef (according to the website) is Brad Farmerie, who I quite honestly have never heard of, but if this recipe is any indication I'd gl
A visit from the Easter Bat
Sunday, 23 March 2008 8:28 A GMT-05
Never heard of the Easter Bat? Well let me tell you.Once upon a time there was nice little family. There was a sister and two little brothers, a Mommy who stayed home and a Poppy who worked at night.One Easter Eve the Mommy and the childr
Writers Meeting II or Draft 1 of A Sort of Short Story*
Saturday, 22 March 2008 10:14 P GMT-05
Today was the weekend meeting for the Upstate writers group. I usually don’t schedule social outings for myself, but I had really enjoyed my last meeting, even with my shoulder demon, and was seriously looking forward to meeting more of the gro
Not a Good Thing
Friday, 21 March 2008 6:23 P GMT-05
M and I ended up taking the kids to G'ville today to do a little grocery shopping instead of planting our seeds. The kids had a blast, as usual, although I'm feeling a little strung out from our adventure!We started out at Whole Foods.&
Seeds- a reprise
Friday, 21 March 2008 9:48 A GMT-05
M went to my brother's for a couple days and left me to tend her little seedlings. Beautiful little things. At least they were, until I forgot about them and didn't bring them inside for the night. All the beautiful little t
My first blog award ever :)

(That neat little graphic that goes here won't do right on my cantankerous blog so just imagine a cute little black and white picture of flowers, peonies I think, with "you make the world a better place" in the top corner)Andrea ov
Why is it?
Monday, 17 March 2008 8:52 A GMT-05
Why is it when you want to do one thing then everything else you can do suddenly finds an excuse to take center stage?The next writers meeting is coming up this weekend and I, unsurprisingly, still have nothing to share. However, I do have quit
A year ago in Bishkek we all became a family
Tuesday, 11 March 2008 1:25 P GMT-05
Way back in August 2006 we saw these pictures. Two little boys in far off Kyrgyzstan. Half a world away. We filled the days and weeks with completing our dossier and lived for the frequent photo updates, but somehow I always would c
Remembering Moscow
Monday, 10 March 2008 11:47 A GMT-05
A year ago today I sent the following message to Kyle: "Hey guys! We're in Moscow at CWA's coordinator's apartment... he's letting me use his computer to send you a quickie email that we are all doing great and M
Adding to the Family
Friday, 7 March 2008 11:21 P GMT-05
Yesterday while talking with M while she fed the sheep, I noticed that Harriett (one of the new sheep we got back in Sept) looked a little plump and that she was walking with what could only be described as a pregnant waddle. The only thing is,
Craft Stores, Scales and Kids
Wednesday, 5 March 2008 10:33 P GMT-05
I have this thing for art/craft stores. I love them. Insanely. It's something I'm nearly embarrassed to admit, but it's true. I owe it to the fact that M used to carry us to the craft stores looking for pipe cleane
Immaturity and having an Opinion
Wednesday, 5 March 2008 4:43 P GMT-05
I've been faced today with an interesting conundrum. Either agree whole heartedly 100% with everything someone says or be accused of being a "flamer" or an "enemy" of the Kyrgyz adoption community. I'm either s
Facebooking the past
Wednesday, 5 March 2008 1:06 A GMT-05
My brother’s been hounding me for quite some time to get on Facebook. Really… it’s not my thing. There’s not a lot of people out there that I really need to reconnect with. The way I look at it, if they really wanted to get i
