Today: Prepare to spring forward.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]If you were worried that I had succumbed to a trust fall related injury, never fear. I am alive and mostly no worse for the wear. The ceramic skeleton key that used to hang by our table, however, didn’t fare quite so well. …

Today: The healthy shelf.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false](I summoned all my willpower to not title this post The healthy shelfy. I love a rhyme. Especially ones that involve made up words.) We have quite the healthy collection of books in our housecondohold. I’ve been making an effort to clear out…

Today: A novel idea.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]It’s no secret that I love to read. Right now I am in the middle of five different books. It’s sort of a problem. I recently finished The Kitchen House (and loved it). When I got to the end, I noticed an interview…

Today: Service from hell.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]I woke up this morning and thought, Oh good. We’re still alive. Nick and I took Clark for a nice long walk around Castle Island and then to BYOD for a much needed oatmeal bath. That little dude gets stinky in a…
