TToT – Mexican Delicacies and a Love Letter of Sorts

Contrary to popular rumor, I have neither left the country or this life. I have, however, been sick with round two of whatever horrible allergy-induced respiratory nonsense I’ve had lurking the last couple of weeks. I’m sure it’s allergies because, well, the symptoms just don’t add up to anything else and…corn smut. Yup, corn smut.…

TToT – Summer’s Fast and Final Blast

How can a week go by so quickly and so slowly at the same time? Somehow, these last two weeks have flown by in exactly that manner and Labor Day is upon us. We’ve had a wonderful last bit of summer, even if it did go by a little too quickly. Zilla and I have spent…

TToT – A Dizzying Week

There is certainly no dearth of thankfulness this week! So many things have happened – and happened well, at that. It’s been a good week all around. Kind of a head-spinning week, really. So while I have much to be thankful for, I found it sort of overwhelming to sort it all out, put it…

TToT – Taking Care of Business

I am late to the party this week, but I’m here! It’s been a very eventful week and there is much to do in the week ahead. For now, I want to pause for just a few minutes and make note of the week’s highlights. There is much for which to be thankful… First, on a…

TToT – Tentative and Ambivalent

I’m having a bit of trouble with my list of thankfuls this week. It’s not that I don’t have things for which I am thankful. I do. But I’m feeling kind of ambivalent about a few of them. I thought about skipping this week, since I couldn’t quite get my brain around it, but then…

TToT – Beautiful Summer Days

This week just felt like summer. We had a great lunch at an old favorite hot dog place early this week. While of course you can have a hot dog any time you feel so moved, there is something about this place that goes with summer. Maybe it’s because we always got their take-home doggie…

Summer Reading with Kidzilla

Summer reading programs are simply awesome. As far as I’m concerned, any program that gets kids reading and introduces them to new books is awesome. Like many children, Kidzilla participates in our public library’s summer reading program. She loves books. She loves to read. Hitting the library opens up a whole new world of reading…

What We Saw at the Hot Dog Joint

If you’re looking for the Mama Kat’s Writer’s Workshop post, click here! I had a terrible craving for a hot dog this week. While any hot dog probably would have done the trick, I figure it’s best to go with the tried and true in a case like this. Since we were out running errands…

TToT – Dashing Off Again

I would much rather be in bed falling asleep right now than writing my TToT list. Can’t blame a girl for being honest. But the truth is that if I don’t do this now – quickly – I won’t do it at all because there won’t be a moment to do so. We’ve been busy…

TToT – Busy, Tired, and Satisfied

Emerson said, “A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and done his best, but what he has said or done otherwise shall give him no peace.” We have had a busy week. We have poured our hearts into our work and the sense of satisfaction, coupled with…
