It’s been a while.
January 14, 2024
It’s been approximately 6 years since my last post and honestly very little has changed except:
- Maya escaped the madness of my parenting and is now at college.
- We now purchase frozen onions exclusively.
- ChatGPT has replaced Alexa, Siri, and Cortana as his first love. (I’m somewhere after Cortana who apparently no longer exists.)
The list of what hasn’t changed is much longer:
- My hair is still mostly a frizzy mess.
- Ali’s socks still mostly reside on the floor of the living room.
- I still don’t share very well.
- I still won’t touch a hotel remote. Or sometimes even our own remote. (I swear I did a post about this but I can’t seem to find it.)
- My cooking hasn’t improved, nor has my desire to cook.
- Ali’s mansplaining has reached new heights.
I’m not really sure why today felt like the right day to resurrect this blog. It could be because:
- Maya encouraged me to start up it up again before she left for school. I think she thinks the fact that work is my hobby is quite sad.
- Ali encouraged me to start it up again. His motives are a mystery but I think his logic has something to do with the fact that the busier I am the less I’m nagging him.
- I felt like writing something where I could use scores of bullet points which always make me feel articulate and smarter than I really am.
In any case feel free to come by for a dose of absurdity whenever you feel called. (Just please take my over-the-top nonsense with a grain of salt.)

Ameena! Your brilliant dry wit arrives on a cold gray winter day like a shifting in the clouds allowing patch of sunlight to illuminate the sidewalk. One can’t can’t resist hurrying to bask in its glory and pray it’s a sign of better days to come! Do NOT wait another 6 yrs to post again, we, your devoted readers, implore you!
Thank you Leslie for reading, and for the nicest comment!
Welcome back! I’ve missed you! I hope you continue to post!
Thank you Mary!
Welcome back Ameena! I am looking forward to reading your posts. Always refreshing. 😊
Thank you. 🙂
Oh wow Ameena – how wonderful to see you here again! Very glad to get a brief catch up with how things are. We’re all a lot older (and wiser??…maybe) than we were…
You have inspired me to possibly re-take up my own old blog – untouched for nearly ten years I think now. Perhaps this will be the year?
Thank you Ken! I’m definitely older…probably not too much wiser.
Good to have you back. Looking forward to your wit!
Thank you Pat!
Well this brought me much joy as I sip my morning coffee. Welcome back!! I live in a sea of discarded socks.
Thank you Heather….I can only imagine the socks you have to manage.
You’re back! I was just thinking about you the other day! I missed your humor. Can’t wait for more posts 🙂
