Pop over to The Kitch Witch and see the total weekend awesomeness she found! Recreate yourself as a South Park character, courtesy of SP-Studio. It’s oooooo-la-la fun! Yes – c’est moi ! Beam me up Scotty… straight over to the Atlantic, hovering for a few moments over the Louvre, absolument over Centre Pompidou (art, art, […]
Celebration! Champagne! Party Hats! (Thank You!)
Break open the champagne! Woo Hoo! I’m in a safe territory- far far away from the land of hidden viral nasties – and therefore, so are you. Time to crack open some good champagne. (It’s morning somewhere in the world. A nice mimosa? It’s an easy recipe.) And it’s the weekend. Let’s party!! Think it’s […]
Can you be bought?
Everything has its price I’ve spent days, weeks really, maneuvering through objects and obstacles. In my little den. The jammed office. My bedroom, the living room, a wretched corner in the kitchen. I am looking. Taking silent inventory. Running numbers in my head. I toss aside the memories as best I can. Memories of marriage […]
Do you work too hard?
Yesterday, I mused on the conflicted feelings I have about my son working so hard in his high school program. Watching your child sit up most or all of the night, studying, is not the worst thing in the world. But it can be a concern, when you see it happening a good deal. My […]
WooHoo!! (Sky rockets in flight!)
Sky rockets in flight! (No nasty bugs in sight… ) Let’s raise a toast (regardless of the hour) to fab friends and their good graces. No more bad clothing (or lack of cherries) around these here parts. A HUGE merci to a lovely woman with magic in her fingers, patience in her persona, determination in […]
Just another Murphy’s Law sort of day?
Nothing like a full week of roller coaster fun! (I won’t even begin to tell you the latest… ) Let’s just say, if my entire head of (luscious, stunning, gorgeous, flowing) hair wasn’t already white, it is now. But hey, who says a white haired Lilliputian writer isn’t chic chic chic? (I’ll need higher heels, […]
With a Little Help From My Friends
Technology trauma Yesterday was rough. Very rough. It took more than five hours to write simply, about simplicity. What’s not to love about that? And I struggled through those hours, trying to avoid a total emotional meltdown due to a serious software snafu beyond my control. I persisted; stubbornness can be an asset. I wrote […]
Weeds and blooms
What you notice first are weeds. Dandelions about to seed. A tangle of bushes at the base of an old post that holds the white mailbox. Aging exteriors Everything is dusted in pollen and overrun, yet it is not altogether unwelcoming. You deem it a place where an elderly widow must reside, living on a […]
Roses. Monday. Complaint Department is OPEN.
It’s Monday. It’s really Monday. So the Complaint Department is open for business again. Here. Now. And then I have to get on with sorting out the umpteen messes of the past few hours and the weekend. How about you? Kids, by any other name, would smell as sweet Okay. Maybe it’s roses. Maybe it’s […]
First Coffee, Second Coffee
Coffee in the quiet First coffee in the morning, without rushing. Italian Roast, freshly brewed. The aroma, savored before I swallow. I will take my time. With everything. Even writing. Heaven. It is Saturday. There will be no lunch making at 7:30 a.m., no sluggish adolescent to poke and prod to get him to stir, […]
