Did You Get Your Swag Yet? I would have a picture of me in my swag for you, but I spilled yogurt on the shirt yesterday and now it's in the laundry (don't judge me for how backed up the laundry is). The pants are in there as well because I wore them for...

Welcome to our ool. When I was a kid, those signs used to crack me up. You know the one? "Welcome to our ool. Notice there is no "P" in it. Please keep it that way." It was a friendly and humorous way of stating the rules for folks who for some reason didn't know that...

The Doctor is Out I just spent two hours at urgent care because my teenage son picked a hangnail, which then became really infected. I have a Ph.D. in biology so sometimes I play doctor (for mild things, obviously) but this particular infection was not having my home...

Do Over So, January was 172 days long and February lasted only about 172 minutes. In all of that, I definitely lost sight of my writing resolutions and goals. How about you? Are you plugging along or in need of a reboot? I think it's probably more fair to...

Whatever the Reason Stacie's got her fitbit. I've got Pokemon GO. Don't judge; I bet I'll walk more steps than her today, since the next wave of Pokemon are being released. My dog has never gotten so much exercise in her life. It doesn't matter, in the end, what gets...
