I gave Alice a new haircut last week and meant to post a picture, but the change in WordPress was creating difficulty. Anyway, here she is!
This was my first attempt at any kind of creative grooming on her. I wanted to give her something different for summer. Everyone who has seen her seems to like [...]

Well, I am officially engaged to be engaged. Whatever that means, right? What it means is that J put down a deposit today on the rings we ordered from a local jeweler.

I just picked up my car from the car fixing place. She never looked better! I am amazed because I’m not used to having professionals work on my car. Not only did they fix whatever was the matter and replace the bumper, but they even cleaned my car, inside and out! *shock*
Ever since moving far away from [...]

I’m grateful that I work so close to home. Except when I crash my car at the stupid intersection, but I’m not going to go that way anymore. I can go to the next light and come up to my house another way. Anyway, days like this it is convenient not to have to drive [...]

J and I were talking today about the past six years or so that we have known each other and how much we have both changed and “grown up”. A huge part of that, of course, is that we both quit drinking together. They say that addicts have less success at recovery if they stay together with [...]

When I was a little girl, I loved dolls and stuffed animals. Among my favorite characters was the cute, sweet little Strawberry Shortcake. You remember her?
She was the picture of childhood innocence, was she not? I even collected little dolls of her and her friends. Remember these?
So imagine my surprise and disappointment to see what [...]

I was tagged here for a meme by my big brother at Postulates and Pastimes. I’ve seen this one go around but haven’t been tagged and haven’t wanted to steal it, so I am going to play now.
Rules are:
1. Write your own six word memoir.
2. Post it to your blog including a visual illustration if [...]

I had a little fender-bender on the way home from work today. I work only a couple miles from my house and was literally about a half-mile from home when this happened. I was turning left off of a main road, at a light, and another car coming toward me was also turning left. The light [...]

Most of the google searches leading to my blog are about dogs or dog grooming, so I found it interesting when I read through my lists recently and saw that there was one day recently with only two searches, and neither had to do with dogs. The seach terms? ”running tampon” and ”aloof antisocial blows off friends“. How’d [...]
