It’s all about me

  • And then there were three…

    Again. As many of you know, we are Corgi people. Our Original Corgi Crew consisted of three Pembroke Welsh Corgis, Nellie, Ozzie, and Buehrle. Six years ago, we began our Corgi Crew 2 with Miskey. A year later, we added Jackson. There was a temporary expansion, but we’ve been a 2-corgi family for four years.

  • Please excuse Mary

    Please excuse Mary

    While lying awake in bed last night, my mind as active as the flurry of April snow (for those of you who didn’t wake to the white stuff, it SNOWED here last night), I thought to myself, there is NO WAY I’m going to be able to post a blog in the morning. I have

  • Frequency Illusion

    Frequency illusion, also known as the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon, is a cognitive bias, an illusion of familiarity. That thing where you do/buy/wear/discover something and all of a sudden that something is everywhere?! I know you’ve experienced it, now you can put a name to it. I got a new (to me) red car and all of

    I Hugged a Stranger

    and other anecdotes. As I’m sure you are aware, we have SO MANY more friends now because of social media. Whether we know them in person or not, they count as friends. I was at an event a few weeks ago and got to meet a FB ‘friend’ with whom I share a mutual real-life

    Sign of the Times

    When I was twelve years old, my stepmom gave me a little sign that read: All I want is less to do,More time to do it, and More pay for not getting it done. I think about that saying frequently.Which makes sense when you consider how relevant it is.Inclusively so. Timeless, indeed.

    New Listings

    I kicked off the new year committing myself to setting goals and making lists in order to keep them. I bought a cute little journal and every morning I list 3 Things I would like to accomplish. Some days I get to check them off, other days, well, suffice it to say 3 Things isn’t

  • NEXT BIG PROJECT!

    NEXT BIG PROJECT!

    As previously mentioned too many times to mention again, yet here I go, the past few years have not been as fruitful as I would have liked them to have been. I did manage to eke out a couple of literary amuse-bouche, a long short story and novella, to whet your appetites and hopefully keep

  • To Blog or Not to Blog

    To Blog or Not to Blog

    Some weeks I have so many ideas for future posts, Mondays can’t come fast enough.Then, there are Mondays like this morning where I am at a loss for a single thing to say. On days like this, I wonder why I even still do it. I have been blogging since January 2012! As a matter

  • But wait–there’s MORE!

    But wait–there’s MORE!

    That phrase seems to have been a trend in my life lately. The DAWGs wrote to that exact prompt a few months ago. Our recent unseasonable November 70 degree streak had the weather forecasters claiming it. And then there was the Stampin’ Up© OnStage Conference I attended this past weekend. SO MUCH MORE! I’m still

  • The Puppy Reunion!

    The Puppy Reunion!

    As you may recall, in April of 2019, our Pembroke corgis, Jackson and Miskey, had a litter. It began as a harrowing experience, but overall ended up great. All of our puppies found terrific homes. Seriously, we lucked out in the extended family department. We hosted our first Corgi Crew Puppy Party that August. A
