Headmistress at the House of Wangs. Married. Mom. Multi-faceted. Pittsburgh dweller and anything but normal. She/her.

Senior photos are coming up and they’re a huge source of stress for Jamie (see: autism). He had a small meltdown this afternoon but we talked, I was more clear about the process and expectations (my fault for not being explicitly clear) and he even sat with me and picked some clothes to order.

Iiiiiiiit’s time for MONDAHLIAS!! Varieties in this bouquet: BQ Alan, BQ Mojo, Oregon Sunset, RM Illusion, Cornel Bronze, and something that might be Tomo?

A gray-brown vase sits on a white railing holding a collection of dahlias in shades of orange, peach, yellow, pink, and purple.

It occurred to me this morning that if Madonna was from Pittsburgh, the lyrics would be "When yinz call my name, it’s like a little prair. I’m dahn on my knees, I wanna take yinz ‘air. In the midnight ahr, I can feel yer pahr. Just like a prair, yinz know I’ll take yinz ‘air."
