What? A week? It’s been a week since my Last Brilliant Post? How does such a thing happen? I’ll tell you how it happens. You just go ahead and live a little of your life and your blogging time diminishes to a little sparkly crystal of preciousness which you hold near your heart and stare...

Because I have decided that you probably don’t care, and so there you go. But if you’re looking for something, try this. Once I escaped from an orphanage to...  We’re in it deep here, friends. The Christmas cheer, I mean. An overload of presents, treats, menu plans, and giddiness. Yesterday was the Kids’ first day off school, and we spent it all together.

This book SO speaks to my soul.) * LEAVES OF GRASS by Walt Whitman (I didn’t read it all, but... Here’s why a girl doesn’t blog for nearly a week: She has a birthday. She spends this birthday doing really fun things. She finds herself inundated by happy b-day messages here, there, everywhere and SHE LOVES IT. (Fear not. I am done referring to myself in the third person. This causes instant distress in all... |
