TToT – The Non-Routine Routine
My disappearance this week was not intentional. In fact, I had all sorts of great ideas planned for this space – and most were actually in a semi-written state. But somehow the first week back on routine went a little awry and I ended up with a cold to boot. Two of the five school…

TToT – Enjoying Life!
We have been busy here, friends! I have to tell you this. I can’t remember quite enjoying the time leading up to the holidays as much as I am this year. It’s different. I could ramble on here for a few paragraphs about all the specifics of why, but I’m not going to. Let me…
TToT – Decking the Halls
Want to know what I really hate? I hate how crowded the house feels when it’s decorated for the holidays. I know, bah humbug.

Smoothie Week – What’s Your Weirdest?

TToT – Mexican Delicacies and a Love Letter of Sorts
Contrary to popular rumor, I have neither left the country or this life. I have, however, been sick with round two of whatever horrible allergy-induced respiratory nonsense I’ve had lurking the last couple of weeks. I’m sure it’s allergies because, well, the symptoms just don’t add up to anything else and…corn smut. Yup, corn smut.…
A Favorite Song from the ’70s – I Had No Idea
I couldn’t pass up this week’s Writer’s Workshop at Mama Kat’s. The prompt made me laugh too hard. A song I loved as a kid but when I hear the lyrics now… Hmm, yes, well, this particular favorite was just completely inappropriate.
