Husband Appreciation Day
I’ll be honest, this should be every day in my house. It isn’t. I come up short. The hubs is a long-suffering control freak married to another control freak. Fortunately, we got pretty good early on at divvying up what … Continue reading
Librarian Day
I should probably diversify and write about other Librarians I Have Known (and who made me laugh and grow), but I feel like that might be overstepping for people who don’t like their stories splashed around or who might write … Continue reading
Only Child Day
When I was a tot, I wanted a sibling. Partly because I wanted someone who had no choice but to hang out with me (I was unclear on the concept, obviously), and partly because I wanted my mom and dad … Continue reading

From the ages of two through seven, I pretty much lived on sourdough bread. We ate loaves and loaves of Pioneer. (I remember thinking the guy on the label was Pa Ingalls, which makes a certain amount of sense I … Continue reading
Piano Day
I had a couple frightening run-ins with pianos when I was four or five—not frightening to me, mind you. I was the scary one! The first time, my mom and I were dispatched to go pick up my Aunt … Continue reading
Opening Day
Easter. Purim. Eid. Opening Day. Whatever, y’all, this a religious holiday for my husband and me. Our first real date was to a baseball game. We got married at a baseball game. Our kid was dragged to many ballgames until … Continue reading

Tamale Day
I am of a very pale descent and a very homogenized culture. Growing up, our food traditions were pretty bland, to be honest: Thanksgiving turkey, Christmas sugar cookies, birthday cake, the end. My ethnic background is English, Irish, German and … Continue reading
