Haven’t felt like blogging much lately. I think that means it’s time for a meme. ‘Cause it will stimulate my creativity and writing skills. Or something. Amy tagged me for this on Facebook a few days ago, so I’ll give it a shot. i am: grumpyi think: and then grow tired of thinkingi know: that […]

When I was a little kid, I had a collection of collections. At various times (and sometimes all at once) I had collections of keychains, stickers, erasers, stuffed animals, stamps, coins, and plastic bags. That’s right, you heard me. Plastic bags. I’ve been thinking about my collections this week as I’ve been going through a

I am having a Mary Kay party next week, and no one is coming. Okay, that’s not fair to the couple of people who are attending. They are pretty cool people, and I know we’ll have fun. But I’m bummed that so many people can’t come. I should have done my research before planning the

I was almost finished crocheting a hat…..I put the ears on it (yes, ears), but I decided they were too big and started to take them off the hat. I made a wrong cut somewhere and ended up destroying the entire hat. That was very frustrating. Things like that are extra frustrating after 11pm, when

I wish I could be a writer. That declaration will sound odd to those who know me, since I earned my living as a writer and editor for many years. Even now, I enjoy the occasional volunteer assignment. But I can’t write like this. Or this.These posts have a passion that generally evades me when

Sometimes I find it important to pamper my inner princess. Call me shallow if you want, but the occasional luxury of new lip gloss or sparkly fingernail polish really can make my day. A few weeks ago, my mom gave me a treasure — bright pink lip gloss that came in a Clinique bonus gift
