  • Worst Blogger Ever.

    It’s no wonder I’m never nominated for any blog awards or why I’m never asked to do any talks or invited to any big conferences. I can’t even keep up with my own blog let alone what’s going on out there. If it weren’t for Murray, I probably wouldn’t even realize how much time goes by…

  • Snowy Brooklyn. Photos.

    We finally got our snowstorm. So this morning before things got too unruly out there, I decided to take Emory for a walk. All was well for a while. He even pelted me with snowballs. But then something happened with his hands. They started to hurt because ice cold stuff on bare hands hurts! Naturally,…

  • Tuesdays With Murray: OOPS!

    I missed yesterday’s Murray post because I was buried in work. SMOOSHY FURRY AWESOME BELLY WORK!

  • Mom It Down: Vanilla Cake with Chocolate Frosting.

    In anticipation of the “Storm of the Century”, I was in a baking mood this weekend. Well, the storm never came, but the baking sure did. I baked a few things. And I was very pleased with both outcomes. This week, I’ll feature the cake. I am a little surprised with how well this turned…

  • Adopt a Kitty! Empty Cages Event This Weekend.

    Hey, New York City! You should come to Williamsburg this Saturday and adopt a cat. Empty Cages Collective is holding an adoption event. It will be held at PS 9 Pets on North 9TH Street. Please? Pretty please? ECC is a no-kill shelter. They work to trap, neuter and spay Brooklyn’s feral kitties (among other…

  • My Due Date.

    On Monday I took a bus from 14th Street all the way to the Upper East side. I enjoy riding the bus. Many people find that crazy, but I do. I love getting lost in thought while moving through the streets of Manhattan. There’s just so much to look at, so many things that don’t…

  • Tuesdays With Murray (Chapter 124) His Neuticals.

    A photographic exploration of Murray, how he relaxes and his neuticals. P.S. I took a post down because the tone was all wrong. It will return later. Now! Commence with the fussy balls!

  • Mom It Down: Vanilla Meringues

    I had a bunch of egg whites that needed to be used, so I googled “things to do with leftover egg whites” or some such nonsense and found a bunch of meringue cookie recipes. So I combined some of the things I read and gave it a go. Twice. I’m quite pleased with the flavor…

  • Thirty. Six.

    At 11:36 AM, I turn 36 years old. I’m looking forward to 36—there’s no way it can be as craptastic as 35. I used to have a thing for odd numbers, well, 35 has cured me of that bias. Bring on the good stuff, even-numbered age. Toby took the day off. And naturally, it’s like…

  • A Small Confession

    As I was sitting around last night craving comfort food and feeling a little sorry for myself, two words suddenly came to mind: I’m lonely. And then saying them out loud later to my husband gave me a bit of relief. I’m lonely. When it comes to friendship, I tend to put most of my…
