Christmas Encore!

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}

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.

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}

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.

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
