I remember starting this blog in November 2006. I remember the following months. How I learned as much about myself as I learned about others. I was able to reach out and interact with a giant community of people with whom I shared some common trait.

the one less traveled…
Sometimes just sitting and working things make their way into your conscious mind. Who knows from where the come. It could be anywhere.

In one of those catching … Continue reading perfect excuse for a little black dress…

I am figuring it all out. I am sitting at the table listening to a homework doing child do her best impression of Cookie Monster. I am trying to ignore the cat crying for attention.
