Bad bad dog

Here is my little bookhouse after Deedee got done with it.

Art every day

The other night (while the boys were playing Madden) Zoe and I sat at opposite ends of the table in my room and made art.  It was so much fun.  Here's Zoe's painting:

And here's a little house I made out of recycled book pages:

We love making stuff!

It's been a while.

I promised myself that I would post at least once every two weeks, but not worry about it beyond that.  So I'm trying not to feel guilty if some time passes by.  Things have been more hectic than usual around here, but the important stuff is still good -- teaching, knitting, being with my family -- and I'm getting really excited about several upcoming things:

• Seeing Lynda Barry at the 92nd Street Y in NYC on December 3 
• The writing retreat I am going to in February.  http://www.bepresentretreats.com/pen-and-paper/

Lenny and I also had a wonderful anniversary dinner/overnight to celebrate 15 years being married.  I am so lucky to have someone who supports me in everything I do and puts up with my weirdnesses.  We had dinner at Gramercy Tavern and it was amazing.
