Curtis Family News: April 2010
http://curtisfamilyupdate.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 27, 2010. Two days later and my legs are still useless. I don't really get it because I had been running 12 miles without being sore the next day, but I guess 13 at a faster pace will put your body over the edge. I made it to the subway and was able to force a power bar down as I waited for my stop. I looked around the train and there were several other women going to the race. Why did they look so relaxed? Didn't they realize what we were about to do? That was until mile 11 when I hit a w...

Curtis Family News: June 2011
http://curtisfamilyupdate.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 8, 2011. Ok, I know I've really dropped the ball on the whole blogging thing, but I have a good excuse, I promise! Since I last wrote you, we found out that we were moving back home to Washington! Secondly, we bought a house! Third, we found out that baby Curtis #3 is going to be. ANOTHER boy! Well, time to pull the clothes from the dryer and get moving. Did I mention that our new house is only a 1.5 hour drive from the Ocean? Here's a pic of my awesome boys for your viewing pleasure :).

thoughts, ramblings & rubbish: I'll Try Again Tomorrow
http://liffeys.blogspot.com/2015/03/ill-try-again-tomorrow.html
Tuesday, 3 March 2015. I'll Try Again Tomorrow. A little while ago I had a really crappy day. You know the kind - starts off with a cold coffee and then just gets worse and worse. The main cause was clashing heads with Kalani over everything. Complaining, whinging, answering back, not listening to anything I was saying. He was driving me insane. I felt (and still feel) horrible. Because in the end, that's all any of us can do with anything in life - just keep trying. So whatever kind of day you've just h...

thoughts, ramblings & rubbish: April 2014
http://liffeys.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Friday, 11 April 2014. Those Pesky Green Nosed Canadians. I was on the toilet the other day, and Kalani was sitting on the other side of the door telling me a story (he still doesn't want to be left by himself). His story was about some good injra (ninja) turtles who were being attacked by a whole host of baddies. Firstly they were attacked by an Iron Man (no idea where this came from), then some monsters, and then finally . the Canadians. The Canadians. They had green noses and were very very bad. Bigge...

Friday, March 4, 2011. What to expect when you're not expecting to expect. Did you get that? It took me a while, a few weeks really, to get used to the idea that we are expecting our third child! This sweet little one took us by surprise. If you know me, you know that I am a planner. I have always been that way. My mom used to tell me that before we went anywhere I would ask her who would be there, what it would look like, etc. I wanted to be prepared! Wanna hear God laugh? Time to change those plans!

http://liffeys.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, 1 February 2014. My Nightmarish Day (aka "My new New Years Resolution"). This year I made a New Years Resolution. It was to Take part in a triathalon. I know. I'm actually laughing out loud while I'm typing this because that is so definitely NOT going to happen. Obviously I was quite drunk when this particular resolution was made. Well, no worries. I've never been particularly into making resolutions anyway. But then. IT happened. I had to get up, in front of the whole room and . Some people ar...

OldDogBlog: April 2012
http://olddogblog.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
OldDogBlog was inspired by our dog's tendency to lunge at everyone in the 'hood. I had just quit my job, and briefly considered training him and writing a blog about it. The OldDogBlog! Alas, when the sake-tinis wore off I realized that the old dog most in need of new tricks is me. So this is the story of my own hopeful transformation from a hard-working, stressed-out, and unfulfilled professional, to the new me, whoever she may be. Can I find satisfaction in the suburbs, on a shoestring? WABI SABI Scand...

52 Weeks to Leave Your Clutter: The List
http://organizeusin52.blogspot.com/2011/05/list.html
What follows is a list of things that we want, but that we will only purchase once we have saved up enough cash to do so. Please feel free to check up on us regularly to see if we're staying strong, or if we've buckled under the pressure of the I WANT IT ALL RIGHT NOW philosophy. And please, wish us luck. We don't have any seating of any kind for a living room, so this will be one of our first purchases. For now we have an inflatable queen sized air mattress, which is better than the floor. If only our u...

52 Weeks to Leave Your Clutter: Now where did I put that book??
http://organizeusin52.blogspot.com/2011/07/now-where-did-i-put-that-book.html
Now where did I put that book? There is still furniture to be purchased, window coverings, photos to be enlarged, framed and hung, a clothesline to be installed, and a myriad of other things that crop up every day. And with a toddler running around infiltrating my every thought with her exuberant questioning and lists of demands, it is becoming more and more difficult to move forward. Every time I decide that's it. I'm driving to IKEA and I'm not leaving until everything I need is in my cart. But, it mus...
