From the Outside Looking In…

You see, I love bread. I love bananas. I love banana bread. For the last year I have had five bananas in the freezer just waiting to be used. Each time I opened the freezer door I could hear a scream from the inside “hello, remember us? You do intend [...]

I am getting pretty good at this. Since one by one everyone we know is bringing a child into the world, we are getting into the habit of dealing with newborns and taking on the special roles of Uncle Gogolody (Tito JC) and Uncle T (Tito T-Train). Can we count this as practice [...]

Today is a big day for T. He is a finalist for an internship with the DC Public School Chancellor’s Office and has a phone interview this morning. I know he worked hard and late into the wee hours of the morning (4am!!) on the application, writing sample, and essay questions. Education (policy, leadership, management) [...]

It is Sunday. It is raining. It is chilly outside. What to do on a day like this? Well, watch lots of movies, of course! Today is going to be a relaxing day for me complete with a romantic comedy marathon on cable, freshly brewed coffee, a comfortable throw wrapped [...]

That must have been the vibe I was giving off last night as I went for a late evening run. I had skipped Thursday’s run because I was really tired and wanted a break. Last night I was tempted to skip again but thought about it and realized that I have a half marathon coming [...]

This has become a ritual of mine each morning. After showering and getting dressed for work, I make my way down to the kitchen to boil some water for tea and have some breakfast. I check on my e-mail (usually empty) and recent news as the water boils. When the water is [...]

It is two thirty in the morning as I write this and I can’t sleep. I tried staying awake to watch the show Top Chef and was able to make it through the first half but dozed off after that. I woke up four hours later and what was playing on the [...]

Every day is eventful, and I love it. 
It was another long evening.  Of sleep, that is.  After two glasses of wine, I didn’t make it past the end of American Idol.  Heck, I did not make it half way through.  I was tired.  I had finished a run in warm weather and ate a nice [...]

It was such an eventful weekend that it is taking me until Tuesday evening and two glasses of wine to actually blog about it! I do have reasonable excuses for not blogging over the weekend…and I do believe I briefly mentioned our plans to see Kiss of the Spider Woman on Friday evening…and I [...]

Tonight, we are going to see Kiss of the Spider Woman at the Signature Theatre in Arlington.  This will be my first time seeing this particular show and seeing a show at this particular venue as well.  Double fun!  I am picking T up at the airport this afternoon and we will make our way [...]
