From Christmas Posts Past: While shopping at a favorite department store last week, I was aurally assaulted by a Christmas song so bad (see #2) that it made me want to run, screaming, from the shop. I refused to abandon the too-good-to-be-true deals I’d collected while I waited, outside, for my ears to stop bleeding. Instead I persevered, getting through the next 01:52 by sticking my fingers in my ears, chanting “lalalalalalalalalalala” and wondering what other songs might make me {Read More}

A Fine Mess
You suspect you have hair issues when experienced, on-set stylists say things like, “Yeah, let’s not fool with this,” and “Maybe we’ll just do a nice comb-through and watch for fly-aways.” You’re certain of it once you’ve seen panic in the eyes of the one hair pro who did “fool with it.” It’s not that I have bad hair. It’s taken a lifetime to understand that. Really, it’s just “set” in its own way. I have fine, straight strands that {Read More}

Virtually Speaking
Greetings, little blog peeps. My apologies for being so quiet these past few weeks. Sometimes real life gets in the way of my virtual one. I generally don’t allow work or obligations to keep me from sharing here. But, when it’s wall-to-wall fun, I tend to just “check out” ~ virtually speaking. The past few weeks felt a little like a vacation. So I took an extended stay, enjoying long overdue downtime with Mr Wonderful, a little personal pampering and {Read More}
Out of the Blue
I have no idea where it came from…. I was rooting around in my makeup basket, looking for a new tube of mascara, when I accidentally knocked over an aluminum cup ~ the one holding entirely too many eyeliners. As I was corralling the kohls, I spied a bright stub of a pencil ~ just two-and-a-half inches long. Lost in the mix, hiding in the bottom of the tumbler, I couldn’t be sure how long the product sample had been {Read More}
October 1st? Seriously?
Time is a funny thing…. I used to be able to squeeze every second out of each minute. I’d skillfully navigate all the waking hours, fitting in work and play and, yes, even the minutiae. Now I’m lucky to navigate myself out of my pajamas before high noon. While I have and always have had an uncanny sense of the actual time (I know, for instance, that it’s almost 11 am without having to glance at a clock), I no {Read More}
Happy Fall, One and All
Autumn by Charlotte L. Riser When the trees their summer splendor Change to raiment red and gold, When the summer moon turns mellow, And the nights are getting cold; When the squirrels hide their acorns, And the woodchucks disappear; Then we know that it is autumn, Loveliest season of the year. Wishing you, and those you love, a colorful Fall Season! ~ a little blog told me
