Thank God for that man right there. In the past month, we lived with his parents for a week, said goodbye to his father, dearly loved his Mom, celebrated numerous Christmases, New Years, his father’s life, his namesake’s life; he started grad school, I applied and was accepted to grad school (again), we purchased a […]

What more fitting way is there to begin the only post I’ve written in this God-forsaken year than by simply stating…the year? I received notification from wordpress today that my annual website charge would be coming “soon,” and realized…oh. Yeah. I still have one of those. It seems something of a pointless location lately. But […]

All I did today was cake. And ride my peloton for 16 miles.And stress about the cakes I made because NO ONE I MADE THE CAKES FOR ACTUALLY SAW THEM TODAY WHEN I DELIVERED THEM AHHHHH. I cried and yelled when I got home because I was starving from only eating an apple and a […]

Today, I swept the kitchen. Repeatedly. Cut Rea’s hair. Sculpted stupid things. Cigars for an 80th birthday cake. Turquoise roses that might be the wrong color for a wedding cake. Whatever. More of the Iron Throne. Listened to Joe scream at more insurance people. Because OH MY GOSH, NY can’t get it right. Period. Got […]

Baked 12 layers of cake today. Encouraged my associate in her business…put your foot down NOW girl. Trust me, you will want this in the future. Boundaries are no joke. (too bad I don’t live by the same rule)Made a home plate/softball cake for my friend’s son’s girlfriend. Talked my daughter through a canceled nutritionist […]

That’s right. I just started a blog post with a date. Just a date. Wanna know why?I keep reading about people journaling. Or reading someone’s journal. It’s in front of me constantly. Frankly, it’s annoying. Primarily because I meant to do this my whole freaking life. I was reminded a couple of weeks ago that […]

ornaments
Posted by malindar in Uncategorized on November 28, 2018
(Sigh. I’m going to regret being silent some day.) I have a child this Christmas who is decorating her own Christmas tree…and she has no ornaments. I mean, she probably has some in my basement, but they are not “hers” yet. So different from my experience 21 years ago. Through the years, my aunt gave […]

in my mind, i am made up of a whole bunch of parts of a person i really want to be. i’m a mom. a writer. a helper. a thinker. a doer. in reality…i struggle with the fact that maybe i’m not really any of those things. i am a mom who finds herself with […]
