I spent a lot of time making faces. Here’s a selection: From Porter I give Porter the thumbs up Also from Porter Betsy likes my stickers Cindy thinks I have a secret\ Several people were kind enough to take pictures during our panel:\ These are all from the talented (and gimpy) Cindy Li: Before we […]
I was really looking forward to SxSW this year. I’m moderating a panel I’m really excited about. I get to see all of my south-by pals, go to amazing panels and eat good food. It was a good plan, until I went to pick up the rental car and rolled my ankle turning to talk […]
My fridge is empty except for diet soda and milk. And I just dropped my dinner on the floor. Guess I’ll be eating cereal instead.
I wrote this a couple of days ago…\ Day one without the husband, only 8 more to go:\ I’m back from church, for which I had to get ready and endure without help. We skipped Sacrament Meeting cuz the baby was cranky and I didn’t think I could handle him alone. We got there in […]

Lawver family breaking news: Kevin wore pants yesterday for the first time in 8 months.\ Why is this exciting news? It means Kevin is out of the boot. YAY! Sadly, he is still sore and gimpy and can’t help out around the house or go on walks yet.
A couple updates from the weekend (and the end of last week) before I get back to work:\ I am now a member of the Loudoun County Democratic Committee. I joined officially last week. I’m still not sure what all that means other than attending committee meetings and brushing up on Robert’s Rules Of Order, […]
I went to see Dr. Ankle yesterday, and he says to me after playing with my foot, “Yep, everything’s still intact, that’s good.” Yeah, I made a face.\ I’m allowed to wear normal shoes for a grand total of 15-30 minutes a day and have four more weeks of physical therapy. I see Dr. Ankle […]
\ Some days, it feels like I’m going through life under water.\ But in other news, I go to the doctor bright and early Monday morning and find out if I can finally wear a normal shoe on my right foot. It will have been over six months since I started wearing either the Velcro […]
