I’ve been on a brief hiatus from my blog, I know. I had Friday off work, and yesterday was… odd. Today’s doctor appointment took all morning, too. I’ll have another break here next weekend… indefinitely. I take off work at noon on Thursday, and then who knows when I’ll be back …keep reading
If you think big hair is attractive, I am the sexiest woman alive, next to Diana Ross of course.
It’s ’s birthday today! Happy 24!
The closing on her condo has been delayed twice already (once on Friday and once yesterday), and is rescheduled again for today. That would be a nice birthday present, don’t you think?
In other news… nothing. I did actually get some writing done yesterday afternoon. Two pieces …keep reading
In a matter of minutes, the sky has turned almost jet black. From the tinted windows in the office, it looks like it’s at least ten o’clock at night. I keep getting up to check the window, see if it’s changed. Of course, we’re in the middle of the building, and on the fifth floor …keep reading
Outside, the sun is shining, it’s quite warm (upper 80’s), and you’re in need of sunglasses (and perhaps sunscreen). There is a light layer of clouds across the sky, so thin you can see the blue of the sky seeping through. It’s humid, but not stifling. There’s a nice breeze.

As I’ve been promising, here is my family recipe for Swedish Pancakes.
3 eggs

The Whitney Chronicles, by Judy Baer (frightenly enough published by a Christian subdivision of Harlequin)
I LOVED this book! I stumbled onto it quite accidentally in Borders one day, and took the time to read it last week. Fantastically funny! I laughed out loud several times while on the bus and train, and …keep reading
Let’s talk about 86*! That’s right, and there’s a nice breeze, so it’s not a “bad” 86* (I can say that because 1, I’m in Minnesota, and 2, last week it was in the 50*s).
I was struck, while on my way to get my afternoon coffee (OK, so there wasn’t a morning coffee, and I …keep reading
