    Terrible Tuesday: The end is nigh!

    I spent an irritatingly long time on Friday and Saturday clearing out my email. Since then, I’ve been aggressive about dealing with and deleting everything that I receive. Today, I’ve already deleted a dozen “last chance” emails. Last chance to save in 2014, last chance to give in 2014, last chance to do the rumba. […]

    It’s technically still Christmas, y’all

    It’s technically still Christmas, y’all

    On the fourth day of Christmas, my Facebook feed is filled with pictures and happy statuses of people who have swept away their Christmas decorations and kicked their trees to the curb. These are also, not coincidentally, the same people who put up their trees two days after Halloween.   I get it. If I’d […]

    Like wearing kittens on my feet

    Like wearing kittens on my feet

    I had a wonderfully blessed Christmas and got many beautiful gifts, but my favorite gift has to be these socks Sprite made for me. They’re so soft and comfortable, I want to wear them all the time. And I have! When I wash them, I’ll be like Jack when his blankets are washed: standing in […]

    Ready for the Second Day of Christmas?

    Ready for the Second Day of Christmas?

    Wait, what? Isn’t Christmas over? Didn’t we manage to survive (some of us just barely) and now we can look forward to the New Year and resolutions that won’t last the month of January? Why in the world would I still be talking about Christmas? Because “The Twelve Days of Christmas” actually refers to something […]

  • Merry Christmas!

    Merry Christmas!

    From the Thompson nerds, er family. Our Christmas Eve tradition is to open one gift, always a graphic t-shirt. They’re usually from Woot, but this year MTG and I got ours from Think Geek, and I just got Sprite’s from Amazon. Oddly, Woot doesn’t carry a lot of softball t-shirts. Weird. Give this medicine to […]

    An appeal to my fellow Gen-Xers

    An appeal to my fellow Gen-Xers

    Kids are funny. Their responses are unfiltered by cultural conventions. They say what they mean and they mean what they say. And honestly, if we weren’t allowed to laugh at our kids, none of us would survive parenthood. Gen-Xers*, in particular, seem to make their way through life by mocking most everything, and parenthood is […]

    The darkest day

    The darkest day

    Today is the darkest day of the year — or the shortest anyway. Beyond the astronomical event, it seems like a very dark time in our country and around the world. Our natural instinct is to shut out the darkness. We hole up in our well-lit homes, ignoring the darkness in the world by focusing on […]
