February 1 – Cleaned out all our old magazines. Filed the recipes and book reviews I wanted to save. Total dorky happiness about it, yes.
February 2 – Best workday lunch ever. I would explain it, but [...]

January was filled with books and organizing and exercising. I have to say, to be honest with you, 2009 kind of sucked in a lot of ways. But this was a good beginning to the new year.
I know many of you also write “good things” posts, and I would love it if you would [...]

December 1 – Good workshop with friends. And white siding on our house instead of green.
December 2 – Dinner meeting with fellow librarians. Good times.
December 3 – My last class ever. (EVER. If I try to take classes again, remind me how much I hate taking classes.) And dinner with my book club.
December 4 – [...]

When I saw Brandi’s picture of Mad-Eye Moody, I realized I had left off a good thing of my own. Not because of Mad-Eye Moody, but because I had a picture I meant to show you. I don’t know how I forgot this. My OTHER good thing for October 7 can be seen in this [...]

I have been dreading October since the summer. I knew it would be busy with fun things, but it’s also a hard part of the school year and a hard part of the semester when you are taking classes. This is my testimony of how I survived. And now it is over and I am [...]

You know what I don’t like? Blog posts where people post about how they don’t have anything to say. I didn’t have anything to say, so I didn’t say it. But I’m back! I think. I also don’t like posts where people apologize for not posting. It’s okay not to post! I was busy. Doing [...]

June has been deeply unkind to me thus far, so you will have to excuse the delay. I didn’t want to think about good things. I wanted to wallow.
May 1 – I made the best cauliflower side dish EVER. (Basically this without the pasta. Make sure you get it very brown [...]

With all due respect, Mr. Eliot, I think that March was a whole lot more cruel than April this year.
1. Dinner at Lucky 32 for Andrea’s birthday. Also, I spanked both Alisa and Andrea in Uno.
2. Solaris for my friend Ginny’s birthday. Half-price tapas!
3. I went out to dinner for the third night [...]

1. The deacon meeting was canceled because of snow. And so I don’t sound like a total heathen: Sunday service was really good.
2. SNOW DAY!
3. My class got out about 45 minutes early, and I came home and had tea and toast.
4. Two-hour delay! And my students worked hard in spite of it!
5. [...]

Okay, I’m on Brandi’s bandwagon, and I have decided to write down good things for each day. If there’s something that was good enough to write down, there’s probably a decent story, so if you want to know about something, just ask and I will be glad to explain (most of the time).
1. Went [...]
