I am going to be a mom. Not right away, because you know these things take time, but hopefully in the next year I will have at least one daughter. I’m hoping for two. I don’t have the words to describe how odd this feels. It’s something I knew would…
Harley likes to bring stuff to me to get treats. It started when he was a puppy and I would give him a treat when he gave up some inappropriate item he wanted to chew on. Within a few days he started bringing anything he found on the ground and…
What’s an ice cream pillow? It’s the extra pillow I keep on my bed just for the nights when I have ice cream for a bedtime snack. You didn’t know that, but my cousin, Maria did. It’s part of our code. I love when language becomes code. Those unusual, sometimes…
Mom called and asked if I wouldn’t mind helping her sort through her canned goods. She keeps them in the basement, in a cabinet. It’s a good system, in theory. She doesn’t have much room for excess food in the kitchen and the cabinet keeps everything neat and organized. However,…
I have, through no fault of my own (wait, that’s a lie, it’s completely my own fault), fallen far behind on the word count for NaNoWriMo. I need at least 6,200 words this afternoon to catch up. I have less than 5,500 words. Yes, you read that right, I have…

National Novel Writing Month starts tomorrow, and I am ready. This will be my third official NaNoWriMo, but my fourth time to write 50,000 words in only a month. The first year I tried this I was so inspired that I did it again the following February. This year I’m…
Long before Eddie Murphy set out to destroy every classic children’s film through the power of potty humor, there was a charming movie starring Rex Harrison. As Doctor Doolittle, he wore a top hat and tails and he could talk to the animals, learn their languages. I wanted to be…
One of the downsides to going to the doctor is he gave me a hard time about my blood pressure and said I was overdoing it on the cold medicine. So, I am trying to do without, and it’s hard! I hadn’t realized how bad my symptoms were because I’ve…
