So I'm back in the frozen foods section, looking for my latest made-from-scratch meal (hey, when I sign my name on the credit card machine, it looks kinda like scratching). I settled on the garlic chicken vegetable medley (yum) cuz it goes so well with the Ben & Jerry's Strawberry Cheesecake I'd already picked for […]
"History remembers the battle, but forgets the blood". How disappointed I was to find that this was not really a quote by a historical figure, but merely a line from a movie (Abe Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, no less). I was a little relieved to find a similar quote by Lincoln, which was "The world will little note […]
My Dad died on October 13, 2012. I don't have a pretty or poetic way to announce that; I just have the fact. What I do have is a pretty/poetic way to tell him how much he meant to all of those whom he touched while he was here. (keep reading, it'll happen) Before I […]

Happy New Year! Please be safe and happy tonight, and every night through 2012. And I plan to say the same thing next year, no matter what the Mayan calendar says. 🙂 I've been pondering and thinking and wondering and procrastinating about what to write to ring in the new year, and to celebrate my […]
Finally! Finally we get some cooler weather!! What's that? You thought I was saying finally cuz I haven't posted in so long? Ha ha! I don't even post often enough to worry about how often I post! But since I brought it up... I'm SO glad it's finally cooled down! Here in the Valley of […]
