Quotes
“Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, [...]
Childhood
Okay…so where to begin. I’m not sure I’ve had enough wine to begin this trip into the past. But alas, here we go.
Ah, my childhood. It started off typical…bouncy blonde curls, jumping in puddles, teasing my brother, sneaking cookies…all the usual. Around the age of 5 or 6 I started to realize that my family [...]
So I suck…
…but it was delicious
This week has FLOWN by!
*Whew* What a week. I survived…but eek! Only 2 more days to accomplish my goal. And what with drinks to be had with friends, christmas decorations to make, Christmas trees to cut down, French Toast to be consumed, shopping to be done…it’s not looking promising. Oh, let’s be honest. I can find the time if [...]
Monday Musings – Beware It’s a Ramble
“We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us something is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch. Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight or any experience that reveals the human spirit.”-e.e. Cummings

It fell just as Christmas lights and trees were springing up everywhere, holiday plans were being solidified and present lists were being double checked. So, even though I was coming off of a long weekend of debauchery and sheer [...]
The One-Minute Writer
So, a while ago I stumbled across the blog The One-Minute Writer and was fascinated by the concept. So I went allll the way back to their first topic and it was “Describe your memories of a piece of furniture from your childhood home”. Instantly my mind flitted back to MY BED.
That bed was glorious, [...]
Familia Love
So, in case you haven’t heard, Thanksgiving is like soon. If you watch TV it’s full of sappy commercials that practically ooze saccharine syrup or family mishaps that cause a laugh track to blare incessantly. As I’m sure you’ve gathered, from the excited tone of my voice…I can.not.wait.
My family is…unique. And not in the way [...]
Tech Savvy
Preface 1:
I do not claim to be a computer whiz. Like at all. I have a basic understanding…and a good friend in Google. Oh the things you can learn by typing things into that magic little box! (P.S. Don’t type in “saucy” for images. Apparently my version of the definition is different than Google’s.)
Preface 2:
Mr. [...]
Peace Offering
So, Bossman came in with a peace offering this morning. With a contrite expression, he plopped donuts onto my desk and said…
“You know, you did look nice yesterday.”
I laugh. “Well, thank you.”
He continues mumbling something snarky about “shit on my face”, but I am unaware as my eyes rest on the glorious, sugary contents of [...]
