*No one is paying me for this. I am not receiving re-imbursement of any kind. This is strictly my humble opinion. Of course, Mi-del is welcome to send me a truckload of cookies and/or coupons! I certainly wouldn’t be turning ‘em down, either!! I was shopping in our brand new grocery store Paradise Foods, checking [...]

Sean greeted me getting out of the shower yelling “IT SNOWED! IT SNOWED!” Eh, not so much. My poor little snow deprived California baby. That would be frost. We had our first hard frost of the season. And yes, it did leave a crunch white layer on the world outside our door. However, you might [...]

Posted in life on December 6, 2009 | 1 Comment »
It finally hit me tonite. My loneliness is overwhelming. Much as I love my kids and the holidays, there are things about this time of year that just suck. Couples and families and kids with their dads and friends with their husbands. And me. Just me. Always, only, me. Kids can’t fill this void, it’s [...]
