I’m sitting here in my chair, a mug of decaf hot Lipton tea next to me (my third one), and an episode of Babylon 5 playing on the TV.
Rainy nights always make me moody.
Our cable went out a couple of months ago. I haven’t missed it at all. Been too busy working on Willow [...]

Rambling Thoughts on a Rainy Cold Night…

R.I.P, Michael Jackson…
You know what the sad thing is? Daniel will never know him.
I’m sure he’ll hear a song on the radio. He may even surprise me by getting "Thriller" or "Off the Wall" for his own collection. But chances are, Daniel will know Michael Jackson as a past figure, a supposed superstar who got really, really [...]

The Juxtaposition between Mourning and Celebration
So yesterday was my co-worker’s funeral. Today was Family Fun Night at my son’s school.
It was surreal, seeing so many people dressed up. Ours is a laid-back office, so seeing dresses and suits with ties was distressing. Most of the office is still in shock. It would’ve made a difference if our co-worker died from [...]

Sunshine warm on my face
Yesterday started off with my son coming into our bedroom with his pants around his ankles, where he proceeded to pee on our carpet and then tried to dig his way back into his room via our closet.
It ended in learning about the death of a co-worker who was instrumental in moving us to Madison.
Daniel’s [...]

Should I be happy?
It’s been pretty busy here at the Cafe as I race to get some stuff done in the face of deadlines, writing-wise. Been checking stats of how people come to hear of the Cafe. It’s getting to be a cliche of what bloggers will put down as far as how their blogs are discovered through [...]

Cleaning + Writing = Happy Writer Mommy
Last week’s experiment turned out to be a success: doing cleaning with Daniel instead of putting him down for a naptime right away works a whole lot better than coming home, putting him down for a nap, then trying to write right away.
When Daniel and I get home, the first thing I do is put [...]

We’re All Connected (the Fun of Networking)
So over the weekend, I succumbed and got myself a LiveJournal account. This after a couple of months of being on Facebook.
It’s not that I’ve been reluctant to get on LiveJournal (that’s more my feelings towards MySpace). On the contrary–I seriously considered it when I decided to jump on the blogging bandwagon. But one [...]

The Cafe in the Woods goes GREEN….
Actually, seeing that this is a virtual blog, it’s not really green (unless you count the new header picture,) But I am pleased to announce that our household has become a bit more environmental-conscious. Well, I have, anyway. The hubby and kid just goes along with it.
I’ve been looking into organic eating before we moved [...]

Back to Normality and Routine…Hooray!
If you noticed, I hadn’t posted anything last week. There’s a good reason for that–I’ve been playing around with my writing schedule, figuring out when was the best time to do work on which writing projects, now that we’ve settled into a normal routine again.
A normal routine. I never thought it would happen. After all [...]

End of a Stay-At-Home Era…at Least for Now….
Today is my last day as a stay at home mom. Well, for now, anyway.
Phase I of settling into Madison is complete. All the boxes are put away, things are somewhat in their rightful place again, we’re not tripping over things–much. All we got left is small things, putting up pictures, finding a system to [...]
