Year of Projects: Week 26
I think I’m approaching that time of year when everything starts to blend in together and one day becomes the next with no real delineation yet you still mark the passage of time in days, weeks, months. This is what Deep Winter does to me. Today is February 14th, Valentine’s Day. But that’s not a…

Book Hangovers and Snowy Days
Last year I read Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, and I instantly wanted to devour EVERYTHING I could find by the author. But for some silly reason, I decided to hold off on reading another one of her books. Mostly because I don’t want to put them down and I get sad when it’s time…

#YarniaPix2021 Recap

This may be because we’ve been having a cold, dreary snap in the weather making it more difficult to WANT to be outside. I had hoped to have my Merry Unbirthday Hat released late…

Revolution 40
Yesterday was a great day! Not only was it my birthday, but America gave me a REALLY great gift! We watched the inauguration with our daughter (a first grader), our son (pre-K) was completely not interested in the proceedings. We made a cake on the 19th, the Chocolate Cake from the Snoop Dogg cookbook. I…

Baby, Take a Break.
A number of connotations in the title, this being Friday, the 8th of January, 2021 and all. First, I need a break from the news cycle. The insurrection of the 6th is still being processed in my mind; I have a lot of feelings right now. None of them are sympathetic to the perpetrators terrorizing…
