~:: A Whole Lot of Nothing ::~

Posted on February 24, 2012 by K

Here is a post with no moral compass, no philosophy or political opining, no responsible reason for existence.  It’s just about me.  Me, me, me. The Scoots, finally having earned one of Donna’s Buckwheat Days sugar bears. G has taken … Continue reading →

~:: Oh, Drat and Phooey ::~

Posted on February 11, 2012 by K

Last week, I was going to try to sit down and write a blog apologizing for long silence.  It struck me then that I wasn’t alone; there weren’t a lot of my near-and-dear penning cheery notes for the rest of … Continue reading →

I found a little box of chocolates in the fridge.  I didn’t mean to.  I wasn’t hunting for it.  Left over from Swiss Colony. There were just a few in there.  And I ate them all. Today.  For lunch. A … Continue reading →

~:: Political Howling ::~

Posted on January 4, 2012 by K

I’d say that I’m getting sick of politics, but the statement would be inaccurate.  I have ALWAYS been sick of politics.  Probably since before I was born onto this planet, I hated politics.  It’s just that lately, I am sick-ER.  … Continue reading →

~:: Solstice Thoughts ::~

Posted on December 26, 2011 by K

I was thinking about a reply I made this morning to a dear friend’s comment on my little Christmas card.  I’m going to repeat it and embellish a little here because—well, sometimes I worry that people don’t understand why I … Continue reading →

~:: Turkey Day ::~

Posted on November 29, 2011 by K

My mom used to have these candles she’d put out on the dining room table at Thanksgiving, small, chibi-like wax pilgrims wearing an odd, light, translucent shade of brown.  And there was this fat, round turkey made of some kind … Continue reading →

~:: How to Catch an Airplane ::~

Posted on October 6, 2011 by K

This morning I had the weirdest little experience.  I was on the treadmill, watching something I had recorded, and suddenly, there was this commercial.  It’s not long.  If you have a minute, you might take a look.  I avoid commercials almost … Continue reading →

~:: Knocking on Wood ::~

Posted on July 17, 2011 by K

I am on the couch, tangled up in blankets, alternately coughing and wishing I were asleep.  Not the least unhappy, though.  Just tired out.  I have many photographs to offer you.  But I can’t.  Not till you read this: An … Continue reading →

~:: So Where’s Your Helmet? ::~

Posted on June 10, 2011 by K

Murph comes home tonight, very late.  We aren’t picking him up at the airport; his betrothed is.  She’ll drop him off.  I’m determined to wait up, but will probably be draped ignominiously across my computer, here on the couch.  Maybe … Continue reading →
