you can’t catch me, i’m a gingerbread fan…
once upon a time
a week or so ago
we read a famous old story
out loud
got very excited
to bake our own gingerbreads
imagined them to look like the pictures
everybody
worked so hard
and
finally
they were ready
and
the gingerbreads
were
really something special
even better
than we imagined
none of them
ran away
and
we all ate
happily ever after.

there is a peculiar burning odor in the room,
like explosives. the kitchen fills with smoke
and the hot, sweet, ashy smell of scorched cookies.
the war has begun.

glasses on.
putting on a new pair of glasses or sunglasses is a simple way to completely transform your look – just like a new hairstyle.

the struggle is real.
my friend/great mother of 5 active young children
is at it again –
the following quote was her post
yesterday on Facebook
and i think she’s great:
“Wishing I had a fairy godmother…
Or maybe just a cleaning lady (or man).
Kids are gross.
Nobody warns how gross they can be.
Do you know what words I uttered today? –
” Who peed in the toothbrush rinse cup”?
Honestly …. The struggle is real.”

her friend replied –
“i like that, but remember that time your twins peed in the cat litter?”

i had my taxes done yesterday
by a woman
who has done them
for over 10 years.
while there
as always
we talked about
all that has happened since we last met.
this time however,
when finishing up
she casually asked:
‘for some reason the i.r,s, shows that you have 25 children
and i can’ t get it to delete. any life changes since last year?’
‘nothing of that magnitude, really,
at least not that i’m aware of.
but maybe that’s what all that commotion is in the lobby?’
we always enjoy our time together
but this really kicked it up a notch.
same time next year?
absolutely.
bureaucracy has more than a few quirks
and i so appreciate her
for helping me to navigate through the crazy system
and somehow try to make some sense of it.
my 25, could make this
the best year of deductions ever!

trial and error.
a good friend and i
have decided to start
a local advice column
called, ‘trial & error.’
i’m trial, she’s error.
when people ask us what to do
our advice will mostly come
from a place of ‘what not to do,’
based upon personal experience.
perhaps someone will heed our advice,
though most likely they won’t.
that’s
how life is
and
how we learn.

comedian or ?
imagination was given to man to compensate him
for what he is not;
a sense of humor to console him for what he is.

“but what use is the unicorn to you if your intellect doesn’t believe in it?” ― umberto eco
yes, it’s true,
there was a moment this week
when i realized
i was
having a real text conversation
with my adult daughter
about who won the unicorn horn
(i think i did)
and
wondering where it was.

“what I lack in brilliance, i more than make up for in glitter” -josh stern
working on an art project
quiet
early morning
soft music
warm coffee
colors
paper
scissors
glue
feathers
jewels
stickers
words
ideas
glitter
and
somehow
just a dash of
glitter in my coffee.

missing pieces.
mg reads the paper
and has stopped noticing
when pieces
are cut out of a page
and
tucked away
waiting to be used
for my art collage projects.
he just reads around them
without questioning
what was there
and why
it’s no longer there
and
it’s clear
that
we have
a real easy
comfort level
between us.
