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
My favo(u)rite things
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..

NaNoWriM….Tuesday – 1:4
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
Perfect Post Award – November
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

NaNoWriMo Wrap up
It’s done. Well. It’s done for now. I’ll put chunks of it up for you to read for the parts that are okay, once it starts to wander – in true NaNo unedited style – I will spare you. My drive for writing this particular story is that I’m so invested in the history of my family – to me, anything resembling theology isn’t the point, it’s just the means.. Read More

I would love to have a big tree that smells wonderful, and the halls to be deck and boughs of holly, and beautiful Christmas cards that I made myself, and a stack of perfect presents for Scout and Alex … and yes, for me … I’d love everything to be coordinated and putting Martha Stewart and the mother..

I’ve been loving Unplug Your Kids, even more than usual because she’s been talking about holiday madness and she echoes a lot of.. Read More
