Time and Place | 8:50 a.m on my couch with my Chromebook. Yay for weekends at home. Eating and Drinking | I’m on day seven of my Whole 30 (second time giving this a try), so lots of protein, fruits, vegetables and healthy fats. I haven’t made the kale and apple soup I mentioned last week, hopefully today, along with [...]

Briefly | January is a month that I just try and get through. Between work travel and personal travel, I just never feel like I get to settle in. February is a month where I burrow in at home and enjoy not going anywhere. Time and Place | About 8:45 a.m. with my laptop on my couch [...]
Briefly | I spent almost all of this week in the middle of a gross winter cold, but didn’t admit that I needed rest and quiet until I basically fell apart on Thursday evening. After a couple of good nights of sleep (thanks, cold medicine) I’m finally on the upswing, but it’s been a rough [...]
Time and Place | About 8:45 a.m. on my couch Reading | I’ve been on an awesome little streak of reading books about famous and almost famous women. It started with Helen Rappaport’s The Romanov Sisters, a look at the Romanov family focusing primarily on Olga, Tatiana, Maria and Anastasia. That was followed by Megan Mayhew Bergman’s new short [...]
Briefly | Cheers and Happy New year! It feels like forever since I sat down and wrote a Sunday morning post — lots to catch up on. Time and Place | About 8:30 a.m. on my couch with my new Asus Chromebook, one of my Christmas presents. My old laptop was on it’s last legs and a [...]
Briefly | It has been an eventful week! A new restaurant opened in town (this is a huge deal for a town our size), work was very stressful, and we had a plumbing issue in our basement. Our landlord is coming to look at it again today… hopefully it’s an easy fix. Time and Place | [...]
Briefly | I missed checking in the last two Sundays because I was at my parents house — first for Thanksgiving, then for a volunteering event and my mom’s annual Christmas party. I thought about blogging from the road, but figured I could just catch up when I get back. Consider this three weeks of [...]
Time and Place | About 8:30 a.m. at my desk, nothing special here. Eating and Drinking | Black tea. Reading | I had another slow reading week. I finished Seabiscuit by Laura Hillenbrand yesterday morning, but that’s it. I haven’t decided what I want to read next, but I got several good choices in the mail this week: The Unspeakable by [...]
Briefly | This week has been… a lot. Between work and the weather, it was one of those weeks I just feel lucky to have gotten through. Everything in my life is behind right now, so apologies for neglecting comments and missing out on most of the second week of Nonfiction November. I’m hoping this week will be better. [...]
Time and Place | 9 a.m. at my desk Eating and Drinking | Black tea and a donut (ok… two donuts) Reading | This week was really hectic, mostly because of work and election coverage. After I finished The Underground Girls of Kabul by Jenny Nordberg, I had a hard time settling into my next read — especially when I only [...]
