Oops! I’m supposed to have thirty posts for the month of November and I found that I am one short. I know I didn’t miss a day. What happened? I searched and searched and realized that I deleted a post! I remember thinking it was a stupid post and it revealed a little too much [...]

Do you remember Santa Claus? Do you remember believing? I do.
Believing in that magical entity was such a special time. I wish that for everyone.
This coming season, I wish you the wonder of believing in something special, something magical, something impossible.
Posted in company, hostessing, house cleaning, quick clean up on November 28, 2007 | 8 Comments »
I was leafing through a magazine and caught sight of an article titled “Six Ways To Get the Place Ready For Company”. I thought it would be about hostessing. It sort of was but not really. It was about how to do a quick clean up of your house or apartment before company comes over.
I [...]

… til it is all over! I think, in hindsight, that it was not a great idea to participate in both NaNoWriMo and NaBloPoMo at the same time. Next year I won’t do it unless I have a collection of posts prepared before the month begins. It’s just too crazy.
On another note, I was gone [...]

“In the end, we all know what we’ve done.”
This quote is from the 1990 movie, Flatliners. It stuck is one of those lines that stays with you and returns at certain crucial life moments, mostly because it’s true.
Life is full of those people that do less than ethical things then hide behind the fact that [...]

Okay, I admit it. I just used this title to get your attention! This is actually my 7 Random Things meme. Truddle tagged me.
I’m not great at following directions so I won’t tag anyone. I’m doing something a little different. Instead of tagging 7 people, I will tag myself 7 [...]
Posted in little surprises, mint, tea on November 24, 2007 | 4 Comments »
The other day I was at the Grocery Outlet and passed by the aisle where they have tea bags. I wasn’t looking for tea as we have tons of it but out of the corner of my eye I saw mint tea and remembered that we are out of mint. The price was right. It [...]

I love the Christmas season. I always have. Sometimes I am not ready for it until very late in the season. There have been some years that I don’t feel the spirit of the season and I don’t feel like getting anything done toward our Christmas preparations. Then there are some years that there’s no [...]

You were my first mistake
Our youth got in our way
Our feelings kept quiet
Until it was too late
You were my foundation
When you found me
You gave me back
the self I needed so
You were my last mistake
Complete and utter trust
Until you said no more
I realized my mistake
First mistake
Last mistake
Everything else was
Perfect
