I lie here on my pink puffy bed in my pink silky pajamas, or pink flannel depending on my mood (the only thing you can bank on is that there will be chocolate smeared somewhere on my attire), with my pink feathered pen, writing my most delicious daydreams. Funny? Sometimes. Scandalous? Hopefully. Inspiring? Perhaps. Full of love? Always.

Welcome to my World.

Bones, Rocks, Dozing Bulls…
February 29, 2008

Yesterday morning George told Annabelle he was going out of town for a couple of days. She turned to me and whispered, “Mom! Daddy’s going away! Now we can go to the mall!” And then she winked at me with a big smile. She’s three!! Where does she get this from? And don’t say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree! I have never in my life said these words! I have avoided even saying the word “mall” to…

Stoned Waiter, Napkins on Fire–Another Dinner with the inlaws
August 16, 2007

Ah yes. Another dinner with the in-laws. In Chilmark. Our stoned waiter with waist-length dreadlocks kept tripping over chairs, Grantine (she will NOT be called Grandma!) lit her napkin on fire, put out by GW (he will NOT be called Grandpa!), burning a hole right through the center. Annabelle got angry and threw her bread at me. Henry, who is always studying Annabelle for social cues (Monkey See-Monkey Do), promptly threw his wooden toy at me. With the perfect aim…

February 9, 2008

Just a little Disney update from Pink Pajama Mama signing on here from Disneyworld. We are having the most fabulous time!! We had breakfast with Mary Poppins and Alice in Wonderland and Pooh. The look on Annabelle’s face was priceless when we entered the room. Henry, on the other hand, was terrified of all the characters. He cried and had to be taken from the room. He was so cute. He sat in a tiny chair and his feet didn’t even touch the ground, he’s so little. A…

I Found Myself at 2am in the middle of a Remote Forest in Norway
July 3, 2021July 3, 2021

So now, it was 2am in the middle of a remote forest in Norway, with snow so deep it could swallow me whole, and I’m riding on the back of a young man, surrounded by thick pine trees soaring straight into the sky. It was cold, and a little scary, but the adventure of it all outweighed the fear.
