A frequent nanny, sometimes actor and more-often-than-not writer. This calendar year has brought: a first wedding anniversary, a babe on the way, a plethora of writing projects, a brand spankin' new fixer-upper and a first-time car in the city of Chi. I am awfully sleepy...but possess an uncanny ability to nap in any location. Do you know any rock trivia? I would love to hear it.

The Full Catastrophe! The Nields!

Katryna and Nerissa Nields have come out with a new album. For anyone who a) grew up in Western Massachusetts or b) loves good folk music, this is terribly exciting. I fall into both of these categories. The Nields were big on the coffeehouse/Lilith Fair circuit when I was an impressionable high-s

In Dog Years It's A Lot Longer.

We look so, so awesome in this picture. To my darling, patient, better-than-I-sometimes-deserve but always-exactly-what-I-need husband on our fourth anniversary... Nothing has changed yet everything has changed and I wouldn't change a thing. (Except for maybe one or two teensy things regarding ou

It's The Little Things.

As we close out week five of "The Project," it's pictures like this that keep me going: Yuv. This one doesn't hurt, either: 90% finished laundry room. (Yuv.)

Keely Rants At Her Kid's Clothing.

Resting up. So, Nora has this shirt. It's a hand-me-down, as we're lucky enough to have most of her clothing be. It's short-sleeved, and features gold scrolling writing that spells out: "Where's My Prince Charming?" And for some reason (that I couldn't put my finger upon until today) this passiv

Full Disclosure: I Am Not A Contractor.

I'm with you, kid. There are many things that I just know: -The vocal lineup of most classic rock bands since 1972. -An innate awareness of when a ladybug sticker is being placed on an item of good furniture. -How to fall asleep on any surface despite exterior influences. And then there are thing

Wynken And Blynken And Nod.

Even when things get awful and messy and smelly and chaotic, it never fails to amaze me that the simple act of watching these two dynamos nap can make everything seem a teensy bit sweeter. (Still messy. Just nicer to look at.)

Broken House Still Broken.

See? The crumbling stoop loves me! I was extremely ready for the weekend. This is largely in part because I love weekends, but even more largely in part (how many parts am I allowed?) because the house broke even further on Thursday night. P.J., having ventured downstairs after work to, you know,

The Dirtying Machine.

I am airing my dirty laundry. Right now, an entire floor of stuff has been absorbed by the other parts of the house. Like a sponge. Like a big, bloated, no-more-room-for-knick-knacks sponge.  And by "knick knacks," I mean wool coats. Books n' books n' books n' books. Upended tables. At least

Reminiscing This And That.

I was going to post more pix of the whole-house carnage, but decided on this instead. I present to you: [Part Of] "Oodelally," Sung By A Slightly Crabby Swedish Chef.

Forget The Girls- I'M Going To Trade School.

ALL the furniture must be moved. All. Sometimes I feel like I'm hosting a contractor convention- and I'm the keynote speaker as well as the janitor. On Friday afternoon, we had our heating and cooling guys out yet again. "But Keely," you ask. "Didn't you just pay close to 4k for an a brand new a/
