you know you're old when....cont'd

ignorance is bliss.
what you don't know won't hurt you.
enjoy the fog.
there's something to be said for living in your own private idaho.

you know you're old when....

i've been spending the morning thinking about this concept and it seems pretty rich.
there's so many degrees of old.
there's actually old...like people that are really, really up in the years.
and they are super cool.
and then there's the rest of us.
those of us that are actually not anywhere near old but every now and then see glimpses of what's coming.
like a little gray hair.
a little trouble seeing.
wrinkling knees.
i can hardly wait for what's next.

more mother's day cards...

my daughter sammy came up with this card.
says something...
but it's mother's day, so hey, i'm not going to over think it.

more mother's day cards...

coffee was sammy's first word.
starbucks was zoe's.
i just love coffee.
especially the first cup in the morning.
it's just a really perfect time of the day.
as much as i love my kids and would do absolutely anything for them....
first they gotta let me get through the new york times
and my first cup of coffee.
then, i'm good to go.

mother's day

something really amazing happens when you become a mom.
in addition to becoming wise and all knowing you are able to perform tasks other family members can't.
like replacing an empty roll of toilet paper.
transfering dishes from the sink to the dishwasher.
placing clothes in the hamper.
i know, i know.
it's crazy but true.

last day of spring break...

does the sun make you stupid?
it's been a great week of sleeping late, reading and generally not doing much.
but if i don't get back to nyc soon, i won't be able to put a sentence together.
where are you?
hey, that's a sentence.

spring break

i often think the most when i'm on vacation.
(there should be a rule against this.)
without the distraction of day-to-day life
i can't help but focus on all the brain lint.
this card is simple
but sort of poses the right question.
at least for me.
