You know what I love?

Popcorn, I love it, my favorite snack, always has been, not quite sure why, but it always has been. My folks tell me that back when I was a toddler, they would put me to bed, and then settle in with some popcorn after dad popped it. After a bit I would come waddling out of my room in my...

Well people, a year is coming to an end and a new one will begin in a few hours, and I am doing alright with that, probably really well actually. I like the idea of a new beginning, I know it won't seem like anything has progressed monumentally,but I know that a page being turned on my calendar will signify freshness, and a long as...

Okay enough negativity this time of year...LG emailed me back and said according to what they have on hand that is the stand body I am supposed to have but Virginia Q tells me that she put through an order for a new base to make sure I have the right one of those and that she forwarded my comments on what I needed so...

Found out last night that I have a little less than a year to get sexy for one of my best friends weddings, over the years they have been together she has become a pretty good friend too. Somewhere between now and then they will become parents (they are gonna be good ones) and then the 12th of November...

PHEWWWW!!!

That was the exhalation of grief and subtle worry that had been caroming about in my head for the last week and a half.
