Beginning Previous entry Abby smiled. “It seems your daughter has donated her spice rack to the making of mud pies.” Leta wondered, “I wonder if she knows she’s donated it?” “Oh, look closer. Look at the corner of the house.” Indeed, there at the right corner of the house, right at the very edge, stood LaVerne, barely peeking around the corner to watch what the girl was doing. For a..

(get your mind out of the gutter) I’ve been tweaking the site, I think I’ve been feeling bored since I’m not going under major blog upheaval like Lotus and Veronica and Hotfessional and Heidi and E. Minor adjustments like color and font. I did make the page wider, which, with my luck will now be just slightly annoying to everyone – if anything is jacked up for you that wasn’t.. Read More

I’m a sucker, what can I say, but these are just great. Alex loves his grapes. 🙂 (Does that sound unintentionally dirty to anyone else?)
In graduate school, I had a better half. Her name was Elizabeth (snicker). Elizabeth always had my back when it came to my men, my grades and my temper. She held my hand through tests, career choice, national boards, moving, my first real job. Elizabeth took care of my day to day nonsense and kept me from saying what I really thought to some choice teachers who I would have.. Read More
Now, I’m a snob. I know this. I like good clothes, good shoes and good house stuff. However, even I, Snobby Snobberson can appreciate the whole “necessity is the mother of invention” concept when it comes to decorating. Take this, for example: This is our project of the weekend, putting shelves on the newly painted wall across the bed in our room. Now, here’s more or less how it would.. Read More
It’s possible I’ve been a tad too serious here for a bit. So today I bring you my totally frivolous “My Favo(u)rite Things” post. Fave Christmas Album John Denver and the Muppets: A Christmas Together. Sometimes surprisingly good music mixed in with the hilarious Miss Piggy questioning, “Piggy Pudding?!” Followed by the assurance of, “FIGGY Pudding, made with figs … and bacon.” Fave Coffee Fixin’ We have a ton of..

Tonight at sundown marks the first night of Chanukkah – Blessings to you this holiday! I went and learned just a bit about it. You can check it out here.
Beginning Leta watched Abby’s face. It was different that before. She felt an honesty there that was usually lacking. Not to say that Abby had ever lied, but she had always kept the part back about feeling that failure, feeling that despair. This was thing that Leta had always needed to hear. Leta had felt a touch of that failure before, when LaVerne was stricken with the Polio on her.. Read More
Who knew that labeling yourself a failure could get you an award eh? How about that telling of moving from a glorious home to a crappy one could make my heart expand three sizes for how hard that must have been? Or being ostracized from those around you makes me wish I could go back in time and space so we could hang out? This story was all about being.. Read More

OH they mean go edit my CSS code and insert an image like I.. Read More
