Getting Dolled Up
Have you ever considered an idea – whether it’s political, religious, or scientific – and actually felt two completely opposite opinions of it at the exact same time? Equally? Like you find yourself arguing both sides of the debate in your head while you spend time thinking about this concept or idea? I really never had until recently. I’ve always been able to see both sides of most concepts. But I usually emphatically support ONE side. However, I heard... Read More
Kate Gosselin, Cake Poppers, Grocery Carts…OH MY!
My brain is mush thanks to many factors (allergies, excess driving, allergies, lack of sleep, allergies, cake poppers, and allergies) so I think I’m better doing another BULLET entry instead of trying to compose a coherent one using…paragraphs.

Of course it’s now Spring and I’m having a weird episode of allergies that’s impairing my ability to breathe and/or see. And also, my Mom is having a malignant tumor removed from her... Read More
A PICTURE!
This is the first even remotely decent picture I can show as I haven’t really been armed with anything but my small purse camera. I caught this moment before we stripped NikkiZ out of her costume and while LilZ was running to the dressing room to change into a different one. I stood in front of him as he was running and said, “GIVE ME ONE SECOND!” He dropped to the knee…smiled…and then got up and kept running. I have never known the capacity my child... Read More
