How Facebook nearly ruined my Thanksgiving I am a sucker for holidays. Thanks to the media and our consumer culture, I have long fallen hard for the fantasy of Thanksgiving dinner, huge extended family gathered for a perfectly cooked meal, fire roaring, children playing, the sound of laughter rolling across a warm home full of love. Although I have much to be thankful for, this year that Kodak moment was going to be hard to accomplish. We lost our mother three and a half years ago, and with her passing the glue that held our small family together seemed to dissolve. My sisters live in other states with their children, my husband lives in London (another story), and, at this point, it’s just me and my dad here in Southern California. My husband, a Brit, understandably has little feeling for the holiday, but he was coming out to visit, and we talked about how we could make the best of our Thanksgiving. We were invited to friends, but dad wouldn’t be able t...
Memo to myself for next year... no major decisions the week before Mother's Day. When you have major surgery there is a clause on the release forms you sign that I probably should have read before deciding to purchase a house while I was on percocet. I am paraphrasing, but it goes something like "wait two weeks after surgery before making major decisions." I heeded that advice after surgery in 2012 to repair my clavicle, but missed it after the surgery in 2004 to remove a tumor in my finger and nearly bankrupted myself. That story has a happy ending and is a tale for another time. On May 12, 2007 we took my mother to the hospital to be hydrated. She had been battling cancer since October, 2006 and the chemotherapy was running roughshod through her weakened immune system. May 12 also happened to be her birthday. I arrived at my parents house that morning with some presents, a baby blue hand knit purse with wood handles is the only thing I ca...
So, here's a lovely photo of a fuchsia from my front yard. i took it with the super groovy hipstamatic setting on my Iphone. I have lots of other things to share but i am too lazy to find the cord to connect to the phone to download all the photos. So, I will just ramble a little bit about how my creative life is going. I have to say, it's going swimmingly. I finished the job I mentioned last time I was here...time really does fly, and in addition to being pleasant due to the fine folks i was working with, it gave me the mental permission to just take it easy for the rest of the summer. and, finally, eight months (more?) after leaving my job, things are really making sense to me. Every day I find my creative energy level rising. I have been knitting, thinking about knitting, reading about knitting.. and taking drawing classes, which is just....well, indescribably pleasurable. I LOVE THEM!!! And, the odd and fantastic thing is that the more things I do that I like th...
