It’s all about me

Livin’ in a lonely world, she took the midnight train going anywhere~ I love the band Journey. Why does that feel like a confession? Like something I should be ashamed of? Like something I should never ever admit in mixed company. Or company of any kind. J is for guilty pleasures, er I mean, Journey…

or ten or twenty… I do! I find hands fascinating… their shape, their dexterity, their abilities… I think it’s interesting what you can tell about a person from their hands. Hands hold so much meaning– they’re capable of great communications. I have quite the collection. I don’t have a “hand” display, but you can find…

Did you know the average American spends approximately two hours a week grocery shopping? Most of the people I know are in and out shoppers, several visits a week but in much shorter increments.

I’ve only had my hair professionally colored a couple of times. The first time I got highlights and lowlights (because that was what the coupon was for and people who don’t have it done regularly would never pay full price!) and I loved it. Then there was the time I got only highlights and left…

It’s time to get serious about this. I’ve been wasting time and dabbling for several years now. I think I want to write. I have a million ideas. I like it when it’s fruitful. Yes, I want to write. WRITING IS HARD. I don’t care who you are, how good (or bad) you are, how…
