… half-past turning off the computer and going out to play.
These days I am up before the sun and my common sense. My attention span seems to be on vacation. This morning my mind is curiously blank. This is all you get.
Oh, and a bit of advice:
Turn off the computer and go [...]

I like horseradish sauce and I like hot mustard, so it only makes sense that I would enjoy wasabi, the Asian blending of both; however, given it’s nature, it is best to enjoy wasabi in minuscule amounts. Last night while I was eating sushi with wasabi for dinner, I was reminded of a communication [...]

It has nothing to do with being unappreciative, but I have a Christmas gift that
remains unopened. It is a box of chocolates. What is remarkable about the fact that the box remains unopened, is that as a rule, chocolate is my weakness — yet I am not compelled to remove that wrapping …. [...]

Hello. My name is Christmas and today I am one year old. Yep, just one year ago today my cat momma had me C-section. It only cost my people momma $330.00. Of course, some of that was for my brother and sister, so if you average it out, we only cost [...]

The whitest Christmas of my life was the winter of ‘68-69. That was the winter I learned to bake. I was nine years old. The house was warm and fragrant and Gram and I spent a lot of time in the kitchen. It was my job to roll the Snickerdoodle balls in cinnamon [...]

I lived with my sister, Caryl, the first Christmas after her husband died. Nothing was going to make that year better for my niece, Kellie, and nephews, Kenny and Lenny, but I did everything I could to keep some cheer in their lives. I often packed their school lunches and put special treats [...]

4. When do you take the tree down?

5. Do you like eggnog?
Yum, but in moderation since it [...]

For those of you who think I am too good to be true:
In the comments section of an earlier post, my sister, Caryl, wrote:
And now to that perfect part (I see the rest of the family just skimmed right over that) you are exceptional, bright, beautiful and extremely entertaining but perfect you are not. And [...]

For those of you who think of Las Vegas as fun in the sun, let’s talk winter. Las Vegas is surrounded by mountains. This morning all of those mountains were dressed in a bright, fresh coat of white. They were yesterday, too. When I went out to get in the car, [...]

I believe an attitude adjustment may be in order. Currently there is some controversy in my life over who needs the attitude adjustment. My friends say it is me. I disagree.
My niece, LB (a non-blogger, who holds little in common with my blogging nieces you know and love), called me several weeks [...]

Okay, I’m back and I have something to share. I don’t know how exciting you’re going to find it, but I am overjoyed:
I started at the gym on August 1st and went bright and early every morning until school started. Once school started I had to go to the gym in the afternoons. [...]

Ha! I am on vacation. I forgot all about entertaining you folks. Now I am on my way out the door to pick up a friend at the auto shop, go to the gym, and otherwise get on with my day. I’ll try to do something worth posting about along the [...]
