I Need A Fashion Consultant
This weekend, my husband and I set out to do a small bit of shopping. He wanted a new bathing suit, and I wanted a pair of jeans. We stopped off at Old Navy to score the jeans because I had a coupon. I stood in the middle of the store, irritated because I couldn’t...
Sunrise or Sunset?
Can you tell, just by looking at this picture, if it’s sunrise or sunset? Take a guess…. I really liked how the leaves/needles/whatever those things are on the tree swayed in the breeze when I took this. But it made it very difficult to get...
Birthday Cake and My Anti-Aging Plan
Every year my family has a Spring Birthday Bash. We have so many people with birthdays in April and May, myself included, that it just makes sense to get together and celebrate as a group. There’s presents, and laughter, and poker, and cake. Oh yes, there is cake....
Cactus, Bluebonnets and Prickly Things
I don’t like cactus. I grew up in New Mexico, in the part of the state full of cactus and tumbleweeds. Have you ever fallen into a bed of cactus? It’s not a good time, let me tell you. Brushing up against one of them hurts. Even glancing at one might poke your eye...

Fluffy Girl Goes to the Gym
In my ongoing effort to add some fitness into my daily routine, the hubby and I have started to visit the gym on a semi-regular schedule. By regular I mean on the weekends. And maybe once or twice during the week, if the mood strikes and we’re up early enough....
Story Sparks, A Writer’s Journey
They say every journey begins with a single step. Whoever they are, they obviously weren’t a writer. My journey begins by putting my butt in a chair, and a story spark. What I call the story spark can come from anywhere, at any moment. Sometimes the tiniest thing will...
I Am Invisible
This past weekend my husband and I went to see a movie (21 Jump Street, surprisingly entertaining). This particular movie theater is attached to one of those outlet “Mills” malls, and I managed to talk him into shopping after the movie. Just for a minute. I just...
