I saw a quote online today that basically said that as a parent you are expected to guide someone else while still trying to figure out what you want to do when you grow up.

Curious… as a cat
Curiosity in this thing we do… is dangerous. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve made a passing comment about “did you see that thing on that blog?” – I don’t often mean it as more than a “huh, that’s different…” and yet quite often, I’ll get a message back that simply states…
“Get it please.”
Continue reading “Curious… as a cat”S is for Snake
So, yes, we dance and perform. That’s nothing that anyone who has read the blog for a while will not know.
Continue reading “S is for Snake”D is for Drama
So after my post last week, you probably think I’m going to write about drama llamas for this prompt. Newp.
Continue reading “D is for Drama”M is for Map Reading
Yes, I am old enough to remember having to navigate by either atlas or state map when we were doing road trips. In fact, I still prefer “seeing” where I need to go rather than being directed that way by GPS.
Continue reading “M is for Map Reading”T is for Top 10
Looking back over the past 6+ years, you’d think that most popular posts would be somewhat evenly spread over the time. Nope.
Continue reading “T is for Top 10”F is for Flashlight
I saw this quote and it just made me laugh because I have THAT memory too.

hurt my feelings?
I used to hold the
flashlight for my dad.
M is for Marlborough
If you’ve followed us at all, you know that we love a good glass of wine. A wine tasting is even better and Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, NZ, is our absolute favorite.
Continue reading “M is for Marlborough”A is for Advice
I’ve never really given or asked for a lot of advice. Cynically maybe, it feels like when I’ve been asked for advice, it isn’t really that they want advice. They want me to tell them that what they want to do is right rather than really wanting advice.
Continue reading “A is for Advice”C is for Cats
We are primarily a family of cats. We’ve had two dogs and do love dogs, but cats fit our lifestyle.
Continue reading “C is for Cats”G is for Gaming
In the beforetimes (yes, it is a word), we spent a lot of weekend time at restaurants and movies and other activities out of the house.
Continue reading “G is for Gaming”W is for Wilderness
Growing up in Colorado, wilderness was never that far away. We could go to the mountains and be away from people and civilization pretty easily. After we moved to Tucson, there still is a certain amount of that with the surrounding mountain ranges.
Continue reading “W is for Wilderness”S is for Snake
On the first day of my people who influenced me month, I have to choose Snake. Partly because he’s my person, duh, but also because his birthday is tomorrow.
Continue reading “S is for Snake”I is for Introvert
I am an introvert. Technically, we both are, although Snake tolerates noise and extroverts much better than I do.
Continue reading “I is for Introvert”C is for Courage
I don’t tend to think of myself as a terribly courageous person. Not in a self-deprecating way, but more just as a I just do what I need to do and move on.
Continue reading “C is for Courage”T is for Trouble
I don’t really have any music that I head to when I’m sad or upset. I tend to only listen to music when I’m happy.
Continue reading “T is for Trouble”A is for Absolution
Hey! I actually found an A close to the beginning of the month….It happens occasionally
Continue reading “A is for Absolution”P is for Pi Day
Or in the Snake household, Pi Day=Anniversary! Since the world is a wee bit chaotic at the moment, I thought I’d share a picture of us from 2016. It still seems appropriate.
Continue reading “P is for Pi Day”T is for Trust
When I think about the foundation of our dynamic, the first word that comes to mind is trust.
Continue reading “T is for Trust”C is for (Steeled Snake) Charmer
I don’t know if we have ever told the stories about our pen names, to be honest. The names actually came before we started the blog because we needed Twitter handles.
Continue reading “C is for (Steeled Snake) Charmer”E is for Expectations
When I first started thinking about this prompt, all of the quotes talked about making sure you have low expectations to avoid being hurt or disappointed. While that way be true for the “outer world,” I don’t want to live that way within our marriage and dynamic.
Continue reading “E is for Expectations”U is for Us
As part of the 4Thoughts meme, we have updated our About Us Page. I have linked the old one here.
Continue reading “U is for Us”C is for Camping
Back in the day–college day–we didn’t have a lot of money. We stayed at a lot of slightly sketchy motels for some privacy from roommates, but we did have one really fabulous weekend in the canyon just above Sedona.

“Remember that first day of college after our parents finally left?”
