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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Well, it’s done.
The house is sold. We’ve moved into our apartment and we’ve officially become Wisconsinites. Well, there’s still the matter of our driver’s licenses, but once we get those updated, then we’ll be Wisconsinites.
Which means that pretty soon, I won’t have any excuse to start writing again.
Actually, I’m quite proud of how I weathered [...]

The truck is packed.
Rain patters on the rooftop. It will be a while before I hear the soft susurration of rain on shingle again.
The house looks the same. There’s no empty feel to it. I keep trying to will it empty, but I can’t. Because everything looks the same, even without furniture. It’s curves and [...]

As my life continue its shake-up towards new possibilities and destinations, I’ve been pondering more about the role this blog plays. Don’t worry, I’m not shutting it down. Don’t you even start thinking that’s where I’m going with this.
I do want this blog to be more, though, than just a place where I ramble on [...]

If you’re a regular at the Cafe, you’ll notice that I haven’t done any book reviews for a while. I can say that I’ve been busy working on our house, so I haven’t had time to read, much less write. And while that’s true, there’s also a more simpler reason–I got a bit burnt out [...]

Well, now that I have time to think about it, I guess I am pretty much in mourning.
I suppose I’m in stage four of adjusting to things. I’ve done the disbelief, the denial, the anger, and now I’m in mourning. I suppose after that will be acceptance, then the ‘moving on’. Literally.
S’okay. I’m cool with [...]

(Disclaimer: the following post contains a lot of moping, groaning and whining about the stresses of putting a house on the market and life changes in general. You have been warned.)
I’ve been thinking a lot about life-altering events these past few days.
Death and tragedy ones, like the shootings what happened in Tinley Park and NIU [...]
