As you all know, I do not have any children. At this point in my life, children sort of seem like zoo animals. Fun to watch and maybe even get to play with for awhile, but mainly, a relief that I am not saddled with that sort of responsibility (yet). Obviously, from what I am [...]

Seriously, these strange vivid dreams are getting a bit tiring. Last night, I had not one, but TWO creepy dreams about being stalked by this weird guy that I knew when I was younger. I woke up in a sweat (twice) panicking, until I realized that phew, they were just dreams. Then I dreamed [...]

Ugh, more strange dreams lately. I’ve no idea how to prevent these weird, weird dreams, but mostly they don’t bother me, except when they leave me with some weird overhanging feeling the next day, sort of like a bad taste in my mouth, except all over.

I totally am! This Christmas has really and truly been wonderful, with only a slight hitch of some paper in the oven catching fire.

Yesterday- it got up into the high sixties here. Actually, on my thermometer at home, it read 73 degrees. That thermometer was slightly in the sun though. Definitely warm enough for short sleeves, and had it been spring, I probably would have worn capris and sandals or something. A very nice day, temperature wise. Today- [...]

BeAGoodMom had an interesting post yesterday, with pictures of her baby’s “celebrity-look-alikes” This got me to wondering…which celebrities do I resemble? Hmm…Let’s find out, shall we? And for scientific purposes, we should do another one, to see if any celebrities come up twice…. This picture was taken awhile ago, during my freshman year of college. [...]

* Warning- If you are reading while eating dinner, supper, a snack, or even thinking about food, you might not want to read the rest of this. Numerous bodily functions are mentioned. Yesterday morning, I woke up feeling funny. I turned my head and it seemed like it took ten minutes for the room to [...]

Middle-Aged-Woman did this on her blog, and I thought it looked like fun. This thing takes your frequently used words and puts them into a neat collage for you. Here’s mine:
