Big Little Wolf's Daily Plate of Crazy

It’s been a week for writing. For reading and writing. Tapping and typing and can’t turn it off even when my fingers aren’t on a keyboard.  (Useful? Useless? Avoidance Therapy?)
I even took an hour to actually enjoy the web, buzzing with all manner of pleasurable and intriguing vibes. I read about how Stone Fox was [...]

I had a lovely surprise yesterday, when Amber at Making the Moments Count gave me cupcakes! And the number 101 figured heavily… I was worried for a minute…
Surely I wouldn’t have to list 101 things about myself!?! Or describe spot patterns on 101 Dalmations? Would I have to rummage the bathroom shelves for my tube [...]

I have a vague recollection of agreeing, last evening, to host a 17-year old from Latvia, for two weeks. Did I imagine it?

Life isn’t fair

That big M tattooed on my chest? Uh, nope – just paint. Maybe it’s the big M on my form-fitting super sexy spandex uniform of daily duties, the sequined M emblazoned on my ruby-colored cape, the glitzy grosgrain ribbon folded and tacked into embellishment in the shape of M’s, a perfect pair of M and [...]

I usually make a morning stop by Dads House Blog as I begin my day. There’s always an entertaining read – the perspective of a single dad who talks about parenting and sex, cocktails and sex, internet dating and sex… well, you get the picture.
