Baranta is a new martial art focusing on traditional folk dancing and activities.

I wanted to write a book last summer. Then I realized what a terrible goal that was and modified accordingly.

I cried every single day of my life until I was 18 years old. I did not know this was abnormal.

Size, like age and salary and whatever else, is just a number. Pretending numbers don’t measure things isn’t helpful. I’m 38 years old: That isn’t good or bad, but it IS different from being 18 or 50.

My main reason for doing reading testing, enduring a bus ride to a field trip about weapons engineering, and other thrills? Stalking.

Really, you should thank me. I’m just protecting your future self.

We take weekend turns. He does vacations and summers. Literally. He takes them away. It is great.

I look tired when I stay up too late. I also look tired if I get eight hours of sleep.

My sister Liz is full of wisdom, like my favorite quote I’ve shared with practically everyone I know: “Every pair of underwear has two good sides.”

Help.
