Husband, fiddling with the satellite radio: "The same song is on the 70's channel and the 60's channel at the same time. That's metaphysically impossible."
Me: "You're just trying to get quoted on my blog again - stop it."
All of this has happened before, and all of it will happen again.
About me
I'm 43, and yes, that is a good age. Attorney, mom and wife: 3 full-time jobs, which makes me jack of all trades, master of none. I like it. Two boys, 13 and 10, otherwise known here as One and Two, just to keep things simple. Husband? He is the inspiration for the title of this blog. He works 14 hour days, to which I can only say: I'm incredibly grateful he doesn't work weekends.
I love: my boys, my God, this city, good food, good books, my church, and dogs (unless they're really, really small).
I hate: fear, cold weather, grey skies, reality TV, shoes that pinch, and Daylight Savings Time.
You can email me at grasswidowsdiary (at) gmail (dot) com - I love mail, too.

"Always there has been an adventure just around the corner - and the world is still full of corners!"
--- Roy Chapman Andrews
“Time is a treasure that melts away. It escapes us, slipping through our fingers like water through the mountain rocks. Tomorrow will soon be another yesterday. Our lives are so very short. Yesterday has gone and today is passing by. But what a great deal can be done for the love of God in this short space of time!”
--- Josemaria Escriva
"Do all in your power not to fall, for strong athletes should not fall. But if you do fall, get up again at once and continue the contest. Even if you fall a thousand times ... rise up again each time, and keep on doing this until the day of your death. For it is written, "If a righteous man falls seven times' - that is repeatedly throughout his life - seven times 'shall he rise again.'"
--- Saint John of Karpathos

Just wanted a chance to use "metaphysical," don't you think? It's hard to turn down...
