To quote Victor Hugo (I just love the French), To give thanks in solitude is enough. Thanksgiving has wings and goes where it must go. Your prayer knows much more about it that you do. I know Thankgiving is an American holiday, but thanksgiving is a…

Today: Lucky in New England.
Welp, we survived Sandy with little more than high winds and a few flying street signs. We never lost power, and were able to stay safe and dry, save for a few quick walks with Clark. Unfortunately, this is not true for everyone in the…

Today: The calm before the storm.
It would seem like Hurricane Sandy is the real deal, and is set to reach Boston tomorrow morning, so I spent much of today doing any and everything that requires electricity. Like laundry. And charging anything that comes with a charger. I tracked down our…

Today: A weekend at home.
Home Alone My older brother and sister-in-law celebrated their wedding anniversary this week, which meant Nick and I got to babysit our niece for the first time. We partied like animals, singing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star while changing into PJs at 6:45 PM and reading…

Today: 21 hours.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]Monday was a long day. I was awake (and mostly functioning) for 21 hours straight. When you’re up and about for that long, you’re bound to see some shi things. 4:00 AM Nick was planning to take an early class at CrossFit Southie, so when…

Today: Back floats and naps, box jumps and lunges.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]After a quick back float in Boothbay Harbor, I’m back and better than ever probably just my same old self. Salt water is good for your soul. So are naps, especially when you have a Frenchie to serve as your alarm clock. We were…
