Look who just showed up for dinner…

This picture was taken in my mom and dad’s back yard, IN TOWN.  Click on the picture to make it full sized.  Yup, that’s a FALCON that showed up to bathe in their bird bath.  The whole yard cleared out in mere seconds.  They have a large feeder that is frequented by pigeons, doves, crows and [...]

WE HAVE LAND!!!

Yes, I’m a bit more than just excited!  OUR OFFER WAS ACCEPTED!!  This is something that the hubster and I have planned for since we bought our house 12 years ago.  We put our mortgage on a 15 year note so we could pay it down quicker and be able to refinance to use the [...]

Forcing your muse.

I’ve always gotten conflicting information from writers on whether or not to force yourself to write.  Some say that the only good writing is what comes from your heart and others say that if they don’t force themselves to write on a schedule, then nothing gets done.  I’m definitely not getting any inspiration right now [...]

Look what I got today!

A few months ago I was contacted through my website by a sweet woman in NC who asked if I would be willing to donate a book to her local library.  Well, after emailing her back and forth for a while, I decided to do it and then some.  She has a troop of nurses overseas [...]

The best sitcom EVER!

I figured that since I gave you a brief glimpse into my psyche by posting a cartoon yesterday, I’d go all out and show you my favorite television show.  I live for Scrubs reruns.  Don’t tell hubby, but I secretly flip-flop between JD and Turk crushes.

Why?

The picture on the left is an example of today’s maternity fashion.  The picture on the right shows today’s NON-pregnated fashion.  Anyone else wonder what the heck went wrong in New York?  Did designers just put their heads together, giggle and mix up the mock-ups to see if anyone would notice?  Well, I noticed.  I’m [...]
