Today while we were getting ready to go to a birthday party for an autistic child who plays on my son's special needs baseball team, I was reminded of something that has been particularly painful here and there over the years. And the thing is, I'm not sure if what I think is happening is actually happening, or if I'm being too sensitive. If I am being too sensitive, that would be a new thing for me.  Read more >

We have never been into scary Halloween decor... we usually put out fall decorations and carve pumpkins. I carve eyes into little white pumpkins to make spooks and hide them under bushes and such. But this year I thought of something more Halloween-y that totally suits us!My neighbor cut them for us out of plywood we already had. I sprayed them with granite spraypaint, used a stencil for the letters and then sprayed them with a clear coat. They have already weathered one rainstorm.  Read more >

 In my house, June 5 is known as Dave Wakeling Day. This is because on June 5, 2009, I actually met and spent time with Dave Wakeling of The English Beat (and General Public), a man I've been a fan of for 25 years. I've loved his lyrics, his music and his voice.One song, "Ackee 123," held so much meaning for me that I put it on my license plate. (Click here to read why and see song lyrics.)  Read more >
