Seriously, you guys. Back in August of ’08 (#tbm), I was sure I was slammed with all sorts of stressful activities and thoughts. Sigh. *** Keely’s Third Cup Of Coffee And I Don’t Care (originally published August 12th, 2008) Last night we had our first tech rehearsal for Rules of Infection, a delightfully dark comedy in which my honest-to-gosh husband and I play less than divinely happy married people. Turns out, when we ran the show in the upstairs theatre at Strawdog {Read More}
Back When I “Worked Out.”
August 4, 2014 By 4 Comments
Throwback Monday (#tbm) for today, friends. This is what I was doing exactly six years ago this week, friends. This is why I do not “work out,” friends. *** Who Couldn’t Use Some Hot Club Moves? (originally published August 1st, 2008) It struck me this morning that I owe it to my friends and family to review “Core Rhythms,” the aforementioned “borrowed” workout files. It promises to help you lose four inches in SIX DAYS. Impressive, but is it fun? {Read More}
Back When I Saw Boston In Concert…
July 28, 2014 By 7 Comments
Almost exactly six years ago today, I saw the band Boston in concert for the very first time. (…Roughly 30 years after everyone else in the world did.) And it was nerdtacularly, life-changingly, euphorically perfect. 2008 was a really, really great summer, you guys. *** Seeing Boston in concert was truly a religious experience. Sure, I’m a Catholic and I go to mass and all that…but I can also worship at the (tasteful) altar of Tom Scholz. It was incredible.Not {Read More}
Back When I Was Easily My Parents’ Favorite…
July 21, 2014 By 6 Comments
Today’s Throwback Monday is a tad different- it’s only jumping back to February of ’13 (based on a post from 2 years prior to that), but it’s inspired by the events of last Saturday night. My Dad played a show. (And it was awesome. But that part isn’t even newsworthy anymore, since he is consistently and forevermore awesome.) During the second set, however, while the packed crowd was jamming and spinning and flinging drinks into the air, my Dad played a {Read More}
Back When I Chuckled At The Misfortune Of Others…

Throwback Monday! Lest you think that my habit of mocking mass-produced picture frames was a one time thing, rest assured. I’ve got a million of these. Also, I apparently could put together a coffee table book with the number of tales concerning sprinkler incidents in my twenties. *** I Scent A Trilogy (originally posted July 10th, 2008) Speaking of viciously earnest and poorly realized frames (and we were), this may be my new favorite. For now. As you can see (kinda), the photograph is {Read More}
Back When We Bought This Thing In The First Place…
July 7, 2014 By 2 Comments
Happy five year anniversary, big ol’ weird house! For today’s Throwback Monday (#tbm), I give you…the blog post wherein I still felt like everything was gonna be a-ok. Hahahahahahahahaha. *** Anyone Have A Tums? (originally published July 9th, 2009) So, in roughly the amount of time it took to BUILD a new (and smallish) house, we managed to PURCHASE one! For crazy amounts of Monopoly money that I was briefly allowed to touch before it was snapped up in the {Read More}
Back When We Celebrated The Fourth By Fixing Up The House.
June 30, 2014 By 6 Comments
Today’s Throwback Monday post is from this week in 2011. Should I be concerned/sad that- at least in terms of this house- the more things change, the more things stay the (spackly) same? P.J. also still threatens to kick people offa our lawn. (But that’s just comforting.) *** He Also Wears Dark Socks With Shorts. (originally published July 5th, 2011) I love the Fourth. Specifically, I love any holiday where you hafta take a day off (in a good chunk o’ industries). {Read More}
Back When I Only Wiped Down One Kid…

Continuing on with my exceptional laziness/desire to make ThrowbackMonday a thing (#tbm, y’all), here’s a post from four years ago this very week. It’s been four years. And I’m still sad about cleaning and fighting with my Wii Fit. *** Home Is Where The Swiffer Is (originally posted June 24th, 2010) My Wii Fit was snarky to me this morning. We have a history, that thing and I do. Back in January it called me obese. Then the boxing instructor openly {Read More}
