I’m shopping around for doll clothes for my niece’s American Girl doll. Specifically I’m looking for a karate outfit because the kid can already kick my ass at tai kwon do.
We were talking at work today, and one of my co workers has a girl, and the catalogue just arrived, and lo and behold there’s [...]

I know a man that owned a beautiful place. It was was in the country, and had trees and a pond. When I visited him the first time, I was overwhelmed. We talked all night, and he’s got some great stories to tell. During the day while he worked, I just sat back and took the [...]

NaBloPoMo is kickin my butt tonight, so I’m plagiarising from something that I wrote elsewhere right before Thanksgiving. I guess it’s not really plagiarism If I wrote it… I think it’s a decent piece. See you tomorrow.
You know that age old question… Is your glass half empty, or half full?
Being a rebel, I choose the [...]

They were talking on the radio this morning about the Wizard of Oz being on TV over the weekend. No matter how many copies of it this DJ owns, whether Beta, VHS, DVD, that doesn’t really matter. Her kids never watch it on DVD. But, whenever it’s on TV the world stops. Meals are planned so that they are [...]

I’ve spent the last 4 days cooking and organizing myself. I feel like I’m making progress. I wish it wasn’t because I’m having surgery in less than 2 weeks. It’s almost like I’m nesting to have a baby. In a weird way, I am, I guess. The cancer is coming out the same way my kid [...]

My internet is being really flaky tonight, so in hopes that this post makes it before it drops off again, here’s a little meme:
1. Egg nog or hot chocolate? Oberweiss Egg Nog
2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? The were always wrapped, not always left under the tree.
3. [...]

Yeah!!! Progress on my bedroom is happening. I trimmed back the caulk around the windows while Roomie sanded, nailed up corner bead, patched, plastered, and basically did 90% of the work. My hands and back ache from an hour of cutting and scraping. It ain’t fair. Sigh.
At least it will be mostly done in the next few [...]

I’m thankful for more than I can list here. This bump in the road called Cancer has shown me a lot about myself and my friends. I am so blessed. Is it weird to be thankful for this awful nasty disease? It’s given me the opportunity to let so much love in, to appreciate my [...]

Once upon a time, a young lad was born without a belly
button. In its place was a golden screw. All the doctors
told his mother that there was nothing they could do.
Like it or not, he was stuck with it.
All the years of growing up were real tough on him, as
all who saw the screw made [...]
