I think that I have discovered the ultimate diet tip. Here it is: Eat SO MUCH of a single food you love, to the point that you make yourself so completely sick, that you can longer stand to look, think about, or smell that food any longer; just the thought alone of eating, or being in close proximity, of that food makes you want to… Read More
Is the moon tired? she looks so pale Within her misty veil: She scales the sky from east to west, And takes no rest. Before the coming of the night
The moon shows papery white;
Before the dawning of the day
She fades away. From Sing-Song by Christina Rossetti… Read More
Saturday night, November 24th, marked the evening of a full moon. It was a beauty, I noticed as I stood out on our deck, shivering as I listened for owls. To warm up, I decided to torture the dog, pretending I was a monster, pawing at the sliding glass door. He always takes the bait, running back and forth, but mostly… Read More
It would certainly have been a Black Friday for me if I were expected to be at ANY store at 5:00 a.m. There isn't anything that I want badly enough to get up that early (OK, maybe (MAYBE) free Macs and Nikon cameras). The only thing I’ve been known to get up that early for is a bird, when I've… Read More
NOT cooking all day, unless, of course, you love to cook. If you fall into the “I love to cook” category, knock yourself out. Unfortunately (for my husband) I don’t fall into this category. While I admire those who love to cook and make both beautiful and tasty meals, for me, take out works just fine. I used to cook… Read More
I admit to having a few “guilty pleasures.” My guilty pleasure, (at least one of them) is watching ABC’s reality show, The Bachelor! I know, it’s cheese TV at its worst, but I just can’t help myself. Normally, I can’t stand reality TV and avoid those shows at all costs. I think as a whole, we’re… Read More
Work has been WORK lately. It feels like work has been all consuming, and neither my friends, nor my family (nor blog post) have heard a peep from me. By the time I’ve finished up for the day, combined with the long commute home, I feel spent, and there is no energy left for anything but eating dinner, dropping my clothes on the floor and crawling into bed. My… Read More
I don’t know why it is that I am most creative at night, somewhere between 9:00 p.m. and midnight. For me, it’s always been that way. Some may say that I’m a night owl, but sometimes, I just think that it takes me all day to wake up! Whatever the reason, I love those times when I’m feeling creative and experimental. Whether it… Read More
Fall is one of my favorite seasons. I love the crisp, chilly air that smells of fireplaces raging with heat and wood-burning stoves. I love the smell of the early morning fog that drifts through the redwoods and pines where I live. I love the leaves that change color to brilliant hues of red, orange & gold. Falling leaves decorate everything… Read More
