Seventeen Years Ago

I said Yes. Yes to you, and your very important question. Yes to a life together, built on huge dreams and heady hopes and used furniture. Yes to the laughs and the kisses and the hand-holding, And the game playing, and the movies. Yes to the budgets and the bills and the wishing. Yes to

Skunk-Watch… Final(???)

See how I despaired? See how I abandoned all hope? See how I knew, I just KNEW that Mama was stuck in the den under the shed with babies all attached and needy, and I gave up the thoughts of catching anything? That, apparently, is what they call the darkness before the dawn. This morning,

At Least vs. If Only

I’ve read quite a bit lately about this phenomenon of thinking – and I’m way too lazy to link to any of it. Sorry. A little. But here’s the Becca version-distillation of the thing – some people live in the “If Only” world. If only I were lovely. If only I were brilliant. If only

maybe it’s valentine’s time…

But whatever the reason, I’m getting all poetic lately. I can’t stop writing these swell little ditties. Sometimes they rhyme. (Don’t be frightened.) Sometimes they’re formal, like a haiku or a sonnet. Sometimes one shows up in my WIP, and I have to just leave it there, because it’s not time to edit yet. You

Happy Making

In case you need it on this fine, blustery day, here is a short list of happy-making stuff. (In no particular order.) Wheaty artisan bread with sunflower seeds in. PSYCH on Netflix instant. Clean cars. More locker shelves = cleaner mudroom floor. I bet you’d forgotten our mudroom even had a floor, hadn’t you? Oh,

Power of a Word: Wherein I Uncover my Bald Spot

All right. We’re just diving in. I’ve been wondering how/if I was going to say this. And whether it mattered to anyone at all (besides me). And you know, when you come right down to it, it’s not like I tell you guys Everything. I keep a whole lot of the boring parts of my
