I fought the germs…

…and I may actually be winning! I’m a total germ magnet. I had one year, maybe two or three years ago, where I made it through the season basically unscathed. The rest of the time I slog through colds and flus and general misery, cursing my body for being so […]

Discombobulated

Can you tell that I’m trying to find myself? Anyone who has even the vaguest of interest in my doings the past day or two has seen a number of skins on this blog. That’s because I’m feeling limited. And hating it. WordPress has a lot of pluses to it, […]

I heart meerkats

Long after Dev and Scott had trotted away, I was still mooning over the meerkats. They make me giggle. So small and furry and serious. This guy was solo, but the others were all stacked up in a crazy pile. No one was around (because who wants to go to […]

Coffee on a chilly Sunday morning. Breakfast with my guys at a new place I’d been dying to try. Sweet berries nestled inside of my crepe. Little fingers kept snatching away pieces of my ham.

Miss Lucy

This one can be so infuriating. And her vet bills have been atrocious. Yet there’s nothing sweeter than when she hops up on my bed on a Saturday morning, burrowing in where Scott was just seconds ago to savor the warm spot. She curls her legs beneath her, closes her […]

Two things

One: We just received Chitty Chitty Bang Bang from Netflix last week and I already have the theme song and several others stuck in my head. I was making dinner earlier and humming “Toot sweet, toot sweet!” And on a side note, I know this will sound a bit weird, […]
