Fit by LoLo olivia dunne nude OK, OK, even I’m getting a little tired of Christmas by now, so I really need to wrap up some of these things I’ve got sitting around here. I really wanted to keep all…

O Christmas Tree…..

Posted on: January 9, 2008 Last updated on: November 11, 2023 Written by: Reese Dixon
I may have mentioned that we go bonkers for Christmas around here. A little bit. Around the edges. But we come by it honestly. Bear’s parents set the standard that we can only hope to aspire to. Next year I’ll…

Year of Pleasures #7

I found these pajamas at Costco back in January, and I went back and got one in every color. They’re made of a fabric called “Soybu” – part Soy plant and part Bamboo plant. They are just the softest, most…

Look at this awesome little gadget! I got it at a fancy cooking store at an outlet mall nearby. I was there with my mother-in-law Marie and my sister-in-law with her two boys. Marie went inside just because she loves…

I got an ipod for Christmas, and I’m crazy about it. It’s revolutionized the way I work around the house, the way I go grocery shopping, the way I stayed sane at the boring desk job, and best of all,…

My Sirius satelite radio. I got it for Christmas last year at the same time – through an accident of planning and communication – that I got my ipod. At the time I thought it was ridiculous to lay out…

Year of Pleasures #4

Ah, freshly made Dilly Bars, how I love you. Our local Dairy Queen seems to be having some issues. Their main freezer is broken so they can’t do any cakes (and oh man a dairy queen ice cream cake with…

I’m not a fan of most of our landscaping. I’m actually not a fan of a lot of Southern California landscaping, because so much of it consists exclusively of palm trees and birds of paradise. Our backyard right now is…

Torn between two lovers

Posted on: July 24, 2007 Last updated on: November 11, 2023 Written by: Reese Dixon
We started reading Harry Potter on Saturday. We have a tradition of reading them out loud together, usually Bear reads while I work on one project or another. I can’t bear the thought of buying the book twice like a…

The Social Model of Adversity

Atticus had his latest surgery this week, an operation on his knees that one of our friends and CP mentors calls “a right of passage for a CP kid.” We are home from a week in the hospital now, licking…

Productivity in the Pandemic

I had a different topic for this post in mind, but when I looked up the date and realized we’re almost through May already, I needed to toss it out for a mini-existential breakdown. Whew. Time, eh? I love hearing…

We Can Do It

I’ve spent the entire last six weeks sewing my heart out. Sustainably at first, just one project among many I’d spend my time on. A little ironing here, a little sewing there. When I started, people were still scoffing at…

There Never Was a Normal

I’ve been quieter here than I anticipated when I announced my return. Current events and a global pandemic threw all our plans up in the air and laughed. I’ve struggled with knowing exactly what to say. I’m in a very…
