I got nothin' but a little (Twilight) Sparkle

Hi folks.  Remember me?  I used to write blog posts here.  I know it has been awhile but, I was wondering, if you might consider joining me again in my subjective world.  I've missed you.

It goes without saying that November and December are busy months.  Obviously with Thanksgiving, Christmas (multiple Christmases, I should say), New Year's celebrations, travel and families, things get a little hectic.  Add to that the first birthday of my darling Chicky and a new session of classes to teach...and you have a recipe for (delightful) mayhem.

On top of all this, we had a recent sleep regression (from which we are still recovering two months later) from our former rock star sleeper.  Operating in a state of reverie leaves little time for reflection, self-expression and general bitching.

On the bright side, I have had plenty of opportunity to steep myself in the culture of Equestria with the help of the citizens of Ponyville.  And may I just say, WTF?!?!?!  Twilight Sparkle just became a friggin' alicorn???  Shit just got real. *

Yes, being a parent to a toddler during the craziest season has left me drooling and wondering what the hell just happened.  In fact, my brain is so empty that I literally have had nothing to write about since October.  Habibi and I must be completely insane to be starting the adoption process for Baby #2.  (Yup, you read that right!  Still very preliminary, but it has begun.  SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!)

So I just wanted to drop by before the next tornado hits and let you both know that yes, I'm still here.

Navigating Summer, School, and COVID-19

Guys, it has been awhile.  What can I say?  I just haven't been feeling inspired.  I know, I know...  It doesn't take a rocket scientist to discover that I am almost never  inspired; you can find evidence of this conclusion by reading any one of my past posts.  Seriously, just pick one.  But really, it has been busy around here.  Since March, we have been homeschooling both kids.  Part of this was mandated, of course, when everything shut down earlier this year.  However, since we were having growing success with taking charge of our kids' education this spring, we decided to run with it and continued with certain elements of school through the summer.  We will be full on homeschooling for the coming year because our public education system has turned into an absolute cluster.  This is going to be such a throwaway year anyway, so yeah.  We're "those people" now.   Who knows?  Maybe this year, my daughter has...

Brain Barf #4: Senior Citizens, Italian-Americans, Dreamboats, and Tap Shoes

My neighbor sent me this last night: In five years, J.Lo will be getting discounts at restaurants and movie theaters because she will be considered a senior citizen.  And she will still look like that.   YOU GUYS I SAID J.LO IS ALMOST A SENIOR CITIZEN.  SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE YOU'RE NOT EVEN LISTENING. Meanwhile, I look more and more like this every day: My friend MoMo was invited to play pool with a friend of hers today.  She told me about it, which is free license for me to post it here. MoMo (and her friend): Anouchka: In her friend's defense, he has only been in the U.S. for about 18 months and apparently thought that an "Italian-American" would be a rare and exotic treat. I'm been pestering Habibi lately to spoil me and praise me and tell me I'm a rare and divine treasure more often, but it hasn't been working.  I'll send him text messages periodically, featuring my face,  looking putrid fr...
