Product Review: Things That Suck – Vacuums!
Ultimate Vacuuming Power…in an itty bitty living space… (Yes, that was a reference to Aladdin. I was a child of the 90s, ok?) I’m sure I’ve mentioned it, but I’ll say it again: My husband and I live in a very small (and very fabulous) loft, so we’re always looking for ways to conserve space […]
Heidelberg Closed, Anchors Away
What’s in a Home? Four and a half years ago, I wrote about the concept of “home” and why I find it complicated. I closed the post, essentially by pussing out, and claiming that home meant ALL THINGS. The truth is, it was my cowardly way of pretending to grasp something that continued to elude […]

And as someone who has read more than her fair share of SciFi and Fantasy involving time travel, I’ve always entertained thoughts like: “Wouldn’t it be awesome if I could go back in time and {fill in the blank}?” This blank I have often filled with things like: Meet Douglas Adams […]
Cats are the Best Part of Dying
Unlucky me, I caught one of the plagues going around the office. I spent the last two days in bed accompanied by the giant wad of mucus in my face, a sporadic fever, and two cats. Though I was drifting in and out of consciousness, I did notice how differently my cats behave on days […]
