…White Christmas…

Hahaha!  Pretty awesome right?  Yeah, I still do crack myself up.  Hey, at least I know I’ll always have one person who thinks I’m funny–well actually two.  My sister thinks I’m hilarious.  Her husband even knows when she’s talking to me on the phone because she has a special, “talking to my hilarious sister [...]

I always liked the idea of a window right over the kitchen sink.  There is something whimsical about being able to feel the breeze on a balmy spring day as you’re filling a pitcher of quenching water; something calming about watching the trees bend and sway in the wind as you clip stems to fill [...]

I was sick outta work
on my hands I had time
in between all my naps
I came up with this rhyme
it started with a tickle
then my throat got sore
so I bought all the Airborne
I could find in the store
I was sneezin’ and wheezin’
all laid up in my bed
had a pain in my dome
like a vice around my [...]

Despite the one watering eye and the opposite watering nostril I decided to get myself up today and go for a walk to mail some letters.  I wasn’t sure if the mailperson had yet come today but I didn’t care, it was a beautiful, crystal clear, fall day and I needed to “blow the stink [...]

I love maps.  Oh how I love them!
I have no idea where this adoration came from exactly.  I have no recollection of being specifically taught to appreciate maps.  I just remember them being a vital facet of my upbringing.
Maybe it had to do with the maps that would come neatly tucked away in various issues [...]

Dear Monday,
I know we’ve had some special times…all those holidays, the days I didn’t have to go in early, and the days there was no school. We’ve had a good run at it. But now I its time I let you know: I don’t think you should come around anymore.
I’m sorry if [...]

After our cute little [maniacal] furry fiend–I uh, mean, friend yeah, that’s it friend Marley went back to his humans, Roomdog was treated to a luxurious afternoon at the spa.  A little me-time for the saintly hound who endured Marley’s antics with the  patience of a seasoned and wise ol’ dog.  Here’s Roomdog looking all [...]

(I have to tell you that every time I’ve typed “granola” during this post I have originally mistyped it as “grandola” first and for some reason that just totally cracks me up)! 
I now return you to your regularly scheduled program.
So as I was saying I recently discovered the delectible combination of creamy yogurt and crunchy [...]

Well he may not be a blond lab, but this weekend I’ve been enjoying the lively and hilarious adventure known as Marley, Roomdog’s houseguest.  I know right, the DOG has COMPANY!
Okay so maybe Roomdog’s human is dog-sitting but still, Roomdog and Marley are buds.  He arrived Thursday afternoon and has lavished us with his rambunctous [...]
