trickles down my neck, and it's
not 8am yet!

an investment in my craft
to learn, grow, flourish!

Watching five drivers get cuffed
for driving while drunk.

2009-05-08T23:03:00.003-04:00

The Harley's roar sets
off the car alarm; bus stop
strangers cracking up.

What's that in the sky?
Yellow and round and so warm;
Beckoning bare arms.

2009-05-07T23:01:00.002-04:00

These days I curse
each time I passed the rain boots
and did not buy them.

2009-05-06T13:12:00.000-04:00

For just a moment
the sun peeked out to say, "Hi!"
Then the rain returned.

An Eternal Flame ringtone;
God I hate the bus.

We asked for it all:
new roof, electric upgrade -
THEY'RE paying for it!!

2009-05-02T23:17:00.002-04:00

It is heartbreaking
to watch my friend in such pain.
Men are so stupid.

2009-05-01T15:22:00.001-04:00

I feel horrible.
Although it was impending...
the seller just died.

2009-04-30T12:43:00.000-04:00

How could I predict
Payroll's mistake could stall us
in getting our loan?

2009-04-29T22:54:00.002-04:00

Roof repairs needed,
replace frayed electric wires...
These are deal breakers.

2009-04-29T00:12:00.002-04:00

A major milestone -
our offer was accepted.
We are homeowners!!

2009-04-27T23:43:00.002-04:00

cannot hear the loud knocking
of locked-out boyfriend.

2009-04-20T22:47:00.002-04:00

Awaken to rain;
umbrella's nowhere in sight.
Case of the Mondays.

I'm captivated,
"dazzled" if you will. Twilight --
I have been bitten!

2009-04-18T22:52:00.003-04:00

A blooming landscape;
A budding photographer.
Yep - pun intended.

We were confident
this house was for us. Yet we
were not quick enough. :-(

2009-04-15T23:30:00.002-04:00

Hair styling is pointless.

to have my blog linked to yours --
sharing is caring.

2009-04-13T12:52:00.000-04:00

refashion hubby's old T's
into hot lady's top!

2009-04-12T01:34:00.001-04:00

So much time has passed
but it seems like yesterday;
pretty memories.

2009-04-11T01:17:00.000-04:00

I've got writer's block;
I'm over-tired tonight;
I love my husband.

2009-04-09T22:33:00.002-04:00

A spring evening walk:
the warm low sun, the cool air,
the Love by my side.

2009-04-08T22:40:00.002-04:00

It's somewhat drastic.
Klum was my inspiration.
I got my hair cut!

2009-04-07T23:25:00.002-04:00

These days, I'm drowning.
Overwhelmed by the work load;
too proud to say, "no."

2009-04-05T00:11:00.004-04:00

Months of old clutter
cleared away to now allow
my own sewing nook.

2009-04-03T21:49:00.002-04:00

We found a true gem.
We put forth our best offer.
Now we get to wait.

2009-04-02T22:21:00.003-04:00

Cranberry chicken.
It's prepared in one hour flat
and tastes delicious!

2009-04-01T22:14:00.002-04:00

Black Patent Wedges
are not designed for hiking,
but I sure looked good.
