I miss hard words coming out of my mouth. Once upon a time before I was able to spout fairy tales of rainbows and princesses riding unicorns to their coronation as queen of utopia I was the kind of girl that could cuss a blue streak. I'd make a sailor blush, or a trucker, or … Continue reading missing you
today’s post brought to you by life
I had this big long post written up about something I did over the weekend but it needed some tweaking and a little touching up to keep me from sounding like a completely vacuous monster. I kid. But not about that. As I sat down to work on it and make my perspective more clear, … Continue reading today’s post brought to you by life

loveable silly little me…
Generally, I like myself very much. I can say that with a certain amount of pride and clarity because I recall half a lifetime ago when I was not so lucky. When I looked in the mirror and the girl that looked back, her awkward smile and icy eyes, they weren't what I wanted to … Continue reading loveable silly little me…

A babysitter that is perfect for us may be horrible for someone else and the other way around... But we got very lucky in … Continue reading and my kitchen floor is sparkly clean…
clothing racks and the love hate relationship

I need to handle this with a little delicacy. A sense of decorum. I need to say it gently because otherwise I might freak out. It's possible that I may have already freaked out... but just a little. How am I going to say this? What's the best way to handle the situation we've found … Continue reading down there
but I thought torture was illegal in the states
I've spent a good portion of the day cooking. Mixing. Blending. Stirring. Processing. There is so much good food in my kitchen I just don't know what to do, because I can't eat it. It's for tomorrow. For lunch. But it all smells sooooo good and tastes soooooo good (I had to taste test it... … Continue reading but I thought torture was illegal in the states
