How does that happen?
The weekend sure did fly by! I stayed at a steady pace the whole time, yet I still didn’t come close to finishing everything I needed/wanted to do. I’ve had paint downstairs for weeks ready to paint the bedroom, but we keep having super nice weather every weekend dangit! […]

I was over at Dad Gone Mad’s site last night and he had several interesting questions posed that caught my attention. They ranged from your level of happiness to what really pisses you off to what would you do with $10 billion to who your favorite artist is to . . . . FOOD. […]

I feel like we ought to key some music for The Last Day of Summer, but I don’t really feel like cheering. It’s bad enough that my community pool closed three weeks ago, but now Summer is officially over. Well. . . in some parts of the country, it’s over. There’s a […]

It is no secret that I’m a “Foodie”, a recipe slut, a cookbook freak. . . and a huge fan of The Food Network.  I’m fairly certain that Paula Deen is really my mother.  So when The Next Food Network Star reality show aired this summer, I was all over it. - hanging in anticipation […]

Okay, so she’s not a REAL monkey, but she certainly acts like one - alot of the time.  I’ve said since the day I got her that she’s confused.  I don’t think she had a mother to show her how to be a cat.  She’d swing from the ceiling fan if I let her.

Over here on the East Coast, it has been an unusually HOT June - and dry.  While the middle of the country has been inundated with rain and floods, we’re dry as a bone.  While we have the wildfires in the Great Dismal Swamp (just down the road from me) and my flowers and tomatoes […]
