There was exactly one flight out before the storm – the next morning, Monday, at 6:30 a.m. – with enough seats for us. The rest of the flights – particularly Wednesday – were already booked. So, our trip cut short – the shortest trip I’ve ever taken to California – we missed our tour of … Continue reading Destination San Fran – The Anti-Climax

Destination: San Francisco, Day 2… Hey!
Photo copyright TKA and The Tara Chronicles I was wide awake at 5:30 a.m., and Todd and Jonathan left early for the conference at 6:30. It was still dark out. I stayed in bed, thinking I’d go back to sleep, but instead started reading the hotel’s guidebooks. Not expecting the boys back before lunch, I … Continue reading Destination: San Francisco, Day 2… Hey!
Destination San Francisco: Dazed and Confused
Photo copyright TKA and The Tara Chronicles, 2017 Part 1, continued So we get off the plane and head toward the exit where Visitor Information gives us a thousand instructions on taking BART into the city. Todd is the only one paying attention. She lost me after the third step of the directions. We opt … Continue reading Destination San Francisco: Dazed and Confused
Destination: San Francisco, Part 1
Three hours into a six-hour flight on Southwest Airlines. Had no idea about “open seating.” WTF is up with open seating? Whose idea was this? We were literally among the last five to board, so Todd and I were separated, but luckily were across the aisle from each other in the middle seats. AKA, the … Continue reading Destination: San Francisco, Part 1
Random Thoughts – March 10th
It snowed this morning. First snowfall that actually laid, this year. It was 41 degrees and misty at 7 a.m., and twenty-five minutes later it was 37 degrees as I drove Veruca to school and chunks of wet snow started falling. There were 200 black birds in the tree next to the driveway, all shouting … Continue reading Random Thoughts – March 10th
Call Me Honey
I don’t know how it happened. Somewhere along the way after I moved south, I became Honey. Everywhere I go, somebody calls me honey. Every time I’d enter the elementary school, which was often thanks to a T1 kid, the girls behind the desk would call me honey. Hi honey. What can I do for … Continue reading Call Me Honey
Where I’ve Been – February/March 2017
I have a confession to make. I’ve been on the lam. Avoiding writing, reading, and general responsibility. Although the latter seems to catch up with me every time. In the last two weeks or so, I’ve been to CHOP (Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia) four times, gave Todd a homemade Valentine’s gift, attended Baltimore County’s wrestling … Continue reading Where I’ve Been – February/March 2017
Life After Midnight
Home from work at 1:36 a.m. and enjoying a little leftover Ferrari-Carano Siena Red, which is delicious by the way, while the kitty snores behind me and everyone else sleeps. It sucks working Saturday nights, if only because I come home and Todd is sound asleep at 1 a.m. because he rises so early. … Continue reading Life After Midnight
Melancholy
I went to Walmart yesterday with Opac. He was adamant about stocking up on his favorite hair glue, so much so that he was spazzing out because I didn’t want to go since my brother was over and Veruca is overdue for a haircut and I wanted to kill two birds with one stone … Continue reading Melancholy
