  • LOL

    I came late to the LOL movement. I was (and greatly still am) a Haha gal. Sometimes heh heh, or heehee, depending upon what I’m referencing. But mostly I Haha. Recently I caught myself *literally* laughing out loud at some post. Now, I’m sure this isn’t the first time that’s happened, it probably happens all…

  • Kale Chips

    I’ll admit it, if it wasn’t for the In Print ABC Blogging Challenge I would probably never be blogging about Kale Chips, but considering I have tried these not once, not twice, but THREE times recently, it was inevitable that with K week comes Kale. I had heard great things about Kale Chips—the homemade healthy…

  • Just a small town girl

    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…

  • An Extra Hand

    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…

  • Putting the Therapy in Retail

    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. Then there are those that find solace in the aisles, meandering up and down. Those are mostly new moms on an…

  • The F Blog

    If only I’d known about the In Print ABC Blogging Challenge, http://inprintwriters.com/2013/01/12/the-abc-blog-post-challenge/, last July, I surely would have saved my Eff-bomb blog for today. How sad is it that as I sit here thinking “F,” that is the only word that comes to mind?! F…ef…eff… fa…fah… or should that be fuh…? Fa-fa-fa-Films? Sure, let’s go…

  • The Empty Nest

     E is for Empty Nesting Despite the fact that I hadn’t planned on having babies when I did, I always liked that they would both be legal adults by the time I was 40. Yes, we were young parents but I don’t think we missed out on anything along the way– individually, together, or as…

  • D is for dogs.

    Love mah dogs. My Corgi Crew. Almost eleven years ago I thought I wanted a bird for the four-seasons room off the kitchen. Dave and the kids went to the pet store to look at birds for a Mother’s Day gift. Nicole hates birds. I can’t help but think she instigated this outcome. They didn’t buy…
