Colorful Moments

I just read something somewhere that reminded me of a particular time in my life that always makes me feel good.  The timing was perfect because I’ve been feeling inspired by little things like, the weather, a song, the light of the day, colors on the ground and in the sky, the turn of a [...]

As Much as a Car Payment

The day I met Penny was the day I found out how much it costs to own a horse. First, I gave Marcie the hundred dollars she said she wanted although now, she told me she didn’t want to take any money from me, but I insisted. She told me it’s like paying a dollar [...]

Dun May Me Get to Fwee!

D-man has had an incredible amount of energy lately and it seems we are constantly yelling, “STOP RUNNING IN THE HOUSE!” at him every fifteen minutes. This morning, amidst the dogs pooping and peeing on the floor (I just let them in from outside; the bastards!), my not feeling well, laundry everywhere, D-man was, once [...]

A Moveable Feast

What I see:
A turquoise necklace, two bottles of pink nail polish(each a different shade and manufacturer), a bottle of Bufferin aspirin, a green calculator, a cylindrical, meshed-metal pen holder holding no less than fifteen “special“ pens/pencils, three rulers, a pair of wire cutters, a metal ball with chimes inside, Pablo Neruda’s “The Captain Verses”, Hampton [...]

Black Soul Virulent Injera Politics of Dancing

Oh, it has been far too long…
I just walked into the boys’ bathroom and caught all three of them, Larry, Mo, and Curly, slapping each other in the face. It was literally a Three Stooges Moment. I scared the hell out of them just by walking across the threshold; the teeny, tiny room went deadly [...]

BoobTube and YouTube Lacteal Goodness

Oh!  The Google hits I’m gonna get for this one…
Where am I? Well, I’m here and I’ve been working. I’ve been working a lot. ‘Tis the season and I finally have several days off in a row, starting tomorrow. I finished my day at 5:00 today and logged almost about 50 hours in just the [...]

New Mexico Dreamin’

I set my alarm for 3:50AM and actually went to sleep in my bed (versus the couch) last night. The alarm went off in what seemed like just moments later. In fact, it was just 3 hours later and it wasn’t my alarm going off; it was the phone. I use the alarm on my [...]

Q

I am such a sucker.
Last night, we were watching TV, hanging out, when we heard some kind of ruckus going on next door. Our neighbor had company and they’d been drinkin’, a wee bit, and there was some kind of commotion going on in the foyer. Evidently, there was a kitty sitting outside their door [...]

Burrito Blankets and a Cuppa Sumatra

I woke up and immediately asked for coffee. Then I was told that I was a blanket-hog all night. Yes, there is a chill in the air… it was only 53 degrees when I woke up this morning. This caused the boys to sleep longer than usual. Each of them was wrapped tight in their [...]

OOoogly BOOoogly Messages from the Universe

“Hello, Universe?  It’s me, again.  What exactly you are trying to tell me?”
I have no idea what’s in the message but I’ve taken the call(ing) to heart and, boy-oh-boy, am I payin’ attention! I had the oddest, oogly-boogly moment yesterday.
Let me back-up just a wee bit… there’s a lead-in that I must address.
I got my first [...]
