Each day I am thankful for the five minutes of peace I get while in the bathroom. My pretty pretty bathroom. Lately Jasmine has decided she can not live without me for those five minutes, so I often have the dog with me. Today, both cats decided they wanted to join the party. Because youContinue reading “Bathroom Buddies”

Siblings
Countdown to Thanksgiving…a repeat thankful post previously on FB with a few added sprinkles. I am thankful for my brother and sister. We are brilliantly different and we don’t all interact often…we but when push comes to shove we are like the Avengers and use our individual talents to take on any issue. Super powersContinue reading “Siblings”
Thankful 3.0
Some days I am too busy being alive to plan out my thankful swoon, too many things to be thankful for, too tired to write. Swooning daily for a month is an undertaking, one I am trying so hard to be true to. Today I am thankful I am 21 days in, and I haveContinue reading “Thankful 3.0”
These Two
It’s been twenty months since these two have occupied their childhood home together. It is different. Grandma lives here now. The house is blue. There is different furniture. He walks around picking up things and asking where they are from. Things change in twenty months. There are two options: go back to the way itContinue reading “These Two”
Thankful 2.0
I am thankful it’s Friday. I am thankful I am over halfway done with my daily thankful swoons. I am thankful that tomorrow my son will be home for the first time in 20 months. I am thankful.
THE compliment
Since forever, holidays in our home meant eating Armenian appetizers before the main meal…stuffed grape leaves and boreg (think spanakopita) accompany every gathering, they go with bbq, turkey, roast beef, and lamb…of course they go with lamb. They are a staple. Delicious bits of goodness that are both complicated and tedious to make. Armenians likeContinue reading “THE compliment”
The Moon
This morning my little guy was focused on the rocket ship box. Getting in, putting on his goggles (made out of cardboard of course), closing the doors and hatches, and taking off…this meant I was counting down and shaking the box as he giggled inside. He would pick a planet, have a little visit, thenContinue reading “The Moon”
A Bag of Rice
This, this is a bag of rice. A very big bag of rice. As I unbungeed it…yes, we close it with a bungee…to refill the container that lives in the cabinet, I realized this bag represents many phases of my life. As a mom of a little peanut of a child, I would have lookedContinue reading “A Bag of Rice”
Emotional Triggers
I can walk into a performance space and as the lights go down, I completely lose my cool. My heart starts beating really fast, I have a frog in my throat, and I get teary. It could be a Kindergarten Circus of 5-year-olds, or 4th row center at Jagged Little Pill… I. Am. Done. HearingContinue reading “Emotional Triggers”
The Great British Baking Binge
It’s back and I have been bingeing. It is actually not possible to binge, they are releasing episodes one week at a time, like olden days…when we had patience because we had no other choice. I love The Great British Baking Show, everything about it. It is an exercise in listening, using existing knowledge, andContinue reading “The Great British Baking Binge”
