The (mis)Adventures of Miss Kate: Not quite my story, but I can learn
http://adventuresofmisskate.blogspot.com/2007/04/not-quite-my-story-but-i-can-learn.html
The (mis)Adventures of Miss Kate. Born to hand-jive, Baby. Wednesday, April 18, 2007. Not quite my story, but I can learn. On a friend's recommendation, I just read The Color of Water: a Black Man's Tribute to his White Mother. By James McBride. Since the baby we'll get will most likely be a different color than we are, I'm trying to prepare for some of the reactions and situations that our family will find ourselves in. What about all the good white people he knew? The Color of Water. To raise her child...

The (mis)Adventures of Miss Kate: October 2006
http://adventuresofmisskate.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
The (mis)Adventures of Miss Kate. Born to hand-jive, Baby. Monday, October 30, 2006. Our House = Sold. What I'm talkin' about. In any case, we're having some fun, doing some strange stuff. We don't want to buy a house now just because it's available and drive by these houses for the next 20 years, wishing we lived there. I can learn. I'm starting to really get the hang of this patience thing. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Things I think about when I wish I were sleeping. Light and the red balloon.

The (mis)Adventures of Miss Kate: Questions for mothers
http://adventuresofmisskate.blogspot.com/2007/01/questions-for-mothers.html
The (mis)Adventures of Miss Kate. Born to hand-jive, Baby. Monday, January 29, 2007. So, we're going through the home study to get OK'd to adopt a baby and we are getting asked some annoying-assed questions. I'm sure that if most parents had to go through this process before they could get pregnant, we wouldn't have a population control issue. A sampling:. How much cash do you have in the bank? How long have you been married? How much is your rent/ monthly mortgage payment? What if the baby isn't white?

The (mis)Adventures of Miss Kate: April 2007
http://adventuresofmisskate.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
The (mis)Adventures of Miss Kate. Born to hand-jive, Baby. Monday, April 30, 2007. Hippies make me happy. Last night, our friends, The J's, took us to see Medeski, Martin, and Wood. Last night the band played an acoustic show, which is reportedly rare for these guys. I had never listened to their music before because while The J's are fans, even they have told us that sometimes the music gets too crazy for them - so crazy that once even left an MMW show between sets. Wednesday, April 25, 2007. So much th...

The (mis)Adventures of Miss Kate: November 2007
http://adventuresofmisskate.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
The (mis)Adventures of Miss Kate. Born to hand-jive, Baby. Monday, November 26, 2007. Who let this movie happen? Why didn't anyone tell me that Happy Feet. Is the worst movie made in my lifetime? Sparky and I just finished watching it - barely. I lost count of how many messages contradicted themselves - or how long I waited for the movie to actually begin. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The (mis)Adventures of Miss Kate: September 2006
http://adventuresofmisskate.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html
The (mis)Adventures of Miss Kate. Born to hand-jive, Baby. Monday, September 18, 2006. So much good news going on around here:. Saturday was my birthday and it was a significant one. It was the first one that I ever had trouble with, because in general, I love me some birthday. Thanks to some good friends who are excellent listeners, I got OK with it and am enjoying the celebration. Sparkelstone's amazing gift of some sparkly stones certainly take a lot of credit for the happy vibes too. We got a contrac...

The (mis)Adventures of Miss Kate: August 2006
http://adventuresofmisskate.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
The (mis)Adventures of Miss Kate. Born to hand-jive, Baby. Tuesday, August 15, 2006. It feels really good to run, both when I'm at it and the other 23 hours of my day. I'm slowly working on adding distance - I'm much more interested in distance than speed - and I'm now up to about 16 miles / week. Without pain. I'm gonna run a marathon at some point, dammit. I want a bumper sticker that says 26.2. Tuesday, August 08, 2006. Crisis in the Office. I am out of chocolate. Friday, August 04, 2006. I am a do-er...

The (mis)Adventures of Miss Kate: Marie Antoinette
http://adventuresofmisskate.blogspot.com/2007/04/marie-antoinette.html
The (mis)Adventures of Miss Kate. Born to hand-jive, Baby. Wednesday, April 18, 2007. I'm a fan of Sofia Coppola already, so I was pretty sure I'd like this movie before I even saw it. I was right. (I had the same experience with sushi too - I knew I would like it before I tried it). About the characters' internal worlds increased my empathy. And if you have recommendations for me, don't hold back! Maybe I'll even post more than once a quarter this way. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The (mis)Adventures of Miss Kate: March 2006
http://adventuresofmisskate.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html
The (mis)Adventures of Miss Kate. Born to hand-jive, Baby. Sunday, March 19, 2006. So, I started working for Nils waaaaaaaaay back in August and I've obviously been fairly occupied there. Life is good: the work is good, the family's good, the new PDA is good. There's only one stinky thing going on now and that's our commute. That's right: at least one hour to drive less than 30 miles on a good day. On a bad day, we're in the car for a total of 2h, 20m. It's wrong. Now I gotta pack.
