Just one?

February 25, 2012

This fortune is not quite right. I’ve got a few projects pending, including a knitting project I felt like starting. My buddy, Monica, can’t stop making infinity scarves. They are scarves made in the round. They are very huge, but she wraps them a few times around her neck and they look lovely. They are [...]

Tiny bubbles…

February 20, 2012

I don’t know how to write this post. I keep writing and deleting what I just finished typing. All I want to do is focus this blog post on some happy memories of my Grandma Dorothy. Her last days – actually, her last years – were mostly unpleasant and sad. We buried her ashes in [...]

The Year of the Dragon, alright.

February 15, 2012

I picked up these stamps in my travels and it could be all in my head, but I think the Year of the Dragon is really real. Today felt like a dragon day. A whirlwind. An odd day. In a weird turn of events, I found out today I’ll be attending a funeral for someone [...]

Trying out the coconut oil

February 12, 2012

I’ve been reading about the health benefits of coconut oil and gave it a try tonight with some roasted veggies. I must admit, I didn’t taste any difference. I was hoping for a coconutty taste here and there…but nothing. I guess we quietly boosted our immune system and aided our digestion tonight. These are all [...]

I think this is a little early. Even for us!

February 11, 2012

A tree covered in blossoms the second week in February is kinda early, if you ask me. So, I guess that’s it. Spring is HERE! Hooray! Time to warsh off the balcony and maybe even plant a few plants this year. Like pumpkins. I hate to keep bringing up the dirty old balcony, but I [...]

The sunbathers

February 4, 2012

The sun is shining bright today and these sunbeams got the kitties out of the bedroom (their usual daytime hangout) into the kitchen to absorb every ray. I guess they must get really warm, they are black after all. They must absorb every bit of heat there is.

Blue skies

February 2, 2012

Good news! We had fluffy white clouds today with a side of baby blue sky. It was a great sight to behold. Also, I’ve been told it’s very near time to plant seeds. Perhaps I’ll get some sweet peas out this year. I missed the window of opportunity for that the last few years. We [...]

Schmoopy desktop calendars for February

February 1, 2012

As you can see, that Harlequin Romance novel, White Fire (with the blue cover), I picked up a couple of years ago is getting a good workout. I’ve been stamping pages out of that book for years now, I even shared pages out of it, and it just keeps giving. It takes forever to tear [...]
