When we left the states for Germany they were fresh faced mouthy youngsters. Somehow they've morphed into teens in the past 12 months when I wasn't within arms reach of them. Thanks Twin! I thought you promised your boys would... Continue reading

some of what I've been up too lately

Soaking my foot twice daily for the umpteenth post sliver-of-ingrown-toe-removal. Such a messy little thing. Whipping out some new cute hair bits for friends. I was inspired by one my friend wore and needed a fun little summer style project.... Continue reading

Poor poor pussy. [Lest you assume animal cruelty: the vet did it after all her long hair got too matted to comb. Just another reason why my short haired indoor cat stays indoors.] Continue reading

No twin, Thank you! I just uttered the words: I can't talk or I'll vomit and not cause I'm nausous but that whole coughgagpee thing. He said 'don't worry about it.' Sure cause you like the silence sometimes. Punk.

I have somehow contracted the plague. Okay, that may sound a little overdramatic. Next I will have you thinking that I'm licking leprousy patients and tickling the chicken pox kids. I actually managed to catch mom's bronchial disease she's been... Continue reading
