The waiting is the hardest part Every day you see one more card You take it on faith, you take it to the heart The waiting is the hardest part -Tom Petty, The Waiting Some thoughts for the day: I decided I have no idea how to wait for something when I have [...]

No Title
The wind is conducting a perfect orchestra with my wind chimes this morning. At first I worried it would bother the neighbors…and then I got over it. I’m on the prowl for an idea for this giant canvas we bought to be placed over our very own fireplace. (The excitement the newness brings is [...]
I need some fog lights.
Ahhh, nap time. I wish I could remember the point in my life where nap time became a wonderful treasure as opposed to something I dreaded as a kid. It seems there’s a trade-off, however, and I’m not sure it’s worth it – sleeping in late. Ever since I became a vessel for life [...]
'B' is for babble
Oh good gracious! I’ve been so preoccupied with cursing the world for not allowing me to bilocate, fighting off labor terror and coping with my inability to tear my eyes away from my books that I missed the birthday of the wonderful Billy Collins! It was this past Sunday, which was also my sister’s-in-law birthday. [...]
Inspire me.
A while back I had this delightful surprise in my inbox from a family member. I’ve been meaning to share it with you, gracious reader. The Artist A tribute to a dying day was hung upon the wall. In a hallowed spot it caught the thought of every passer by. A common sight, [...]
Well what'd'ya'know…life goes on.
I’m alive, astonishingly so. There’s little hope when you find yourself flattened on the frozen pavement by a collision-hungry semi going 90 mph. I can’t remember the last time I was knocked so hard on my tookus by a measly cold virus. I believe at one point, probably 3am when I’m struggling to breathe [...]
"Disturbia" is playing on repeat in my head…
…that can’t be good, omen-wise. I must say, this home-buying business is more intense than expected. I can’t seem to concentrate on much except maybe not breaking the ice I feel like I’m tip-toeing across. I think baby can feel my anxiety/excitement because he/she has been hosting a rodeo of sorts in my [...]
Her head was on her butt.
Not even joking… Mama and I revisited JCCC this past Saturday for another glorious night of entertainment. We saw the ever so flexible Chinese Acrobats. It was enjoyable, but I’d rather something a little more artsy, like the violinists we saw previously. I won’t deny that their body control is absolutely unbelievable and their [...]
Master of composition
This past Friday mama and I went to see a violinist play at Johnson County Community College. His name is Roby Lakatos and his ensemble included an additional violin, guitar, piano, bass and something called a cimbalom, similar to a hammer dulcimer (one of mom’s fav’s). He’s known for his quickness and versatility. The [...]
museum of musings
Mama and I went to the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art this past weekend and were delighted to have our very own personal docent. She’s a family friend, who I actually give full credit for giving me my husband. Aside from the many magnificent treasures on the inside, the structure of the museum, especially at [...]
