confessions of a reformed tourist
My sidebar mysteriously jumbied itself the other day. Which is probably yet more proof that Benadryl and CSS do not mix.
Anyhoo. The content of my invisible sidebar, not including the widgets that are built into my WordPress theme, is now available on its own page. It will live there until I get around to sorting [...]
Every time I have new ideas and plans for piscesinpurple.com, LIFE GETS IN THE WAY.
Hold on, internet. BRB.
Love is letting your snotty-faced toddler “borrow” your precious cocoa butter stick. His nose is sore, he says.
Bean, do you know what rhinovirus is?
WHAT?
Never mind, honey. And you can keep that cocoa butter stick. It’s yours now. Mommy doesn’t want it back.
And now I’m sick. It was inevitable.
Snotty-faced toddlers are like sleeper cells, man. [...]
The fate of this blog has been up in the air for a while now. I’ve been avoiding the issue. (I’m good at that.)
Meanwhile, I’ve been having way too much fun over at Tumblr, which totally fulfills my extroverted need for instant feedback. Also, community. And sometimes there are kittens.

I was planning to explain this later, I was planning to write one last actually-in-Grenada post dedicated to the indelible images of the last few weeks, but enough people have asked the obvious question – WHY? – that I feel compelled to address WHY? before I leave, in spite of the fact that I have [...]
This time next week I will be landing at JFK airport. I can hardly believe we’re really leaving. I’m too busy to really think about it much. For that I am very grateful.
I’m working on a blog post about how exquisitely bittersweet these last weeks have been. If all goes as planned, I’ll publish it [...]
The New York Times came to Grenada… and got it wrong.
My spidey sense must have been cranked up extra-high last night. This is the only explanation for why I checked out the early New York Times Sunday Magazine articles online. (I used to do this every Saturday, but lately have been much more casual about [...]
My beautiful, loving and faithful Macbook is out of commission at the moment. This is, in my personal little universe, a tragedy of epic proportions.
I could blame it on the toddler, the one who (allegedly) dropped it. But, in truth, we can blame me, the mommy, who – had she not been insanely [...]
My back hurts. My back hurts in such a way that if I am sitting down, I cannot lower my chin without pain at the other end of my spine. All because the other night, my son fell asleep in front of the TV. I leaned down to pick him up, trying very hard [...]
Perhaps you’ve noticed my rotating header images.
Originally I had just one, this one. This one is my favorite and if I could only have one this would be it. But the yummy wordpress theme I’m using has a rotating header option and I just couldn’t resist. So I added six more. (Click any photo on [...]
