There are a lot of pets at my house: a cat, a dog, a guinea pig, a rabbit, 2 birds, a turtle, 2 frogs, and a couple of fish. And that’s on top of 4 kids and a husband. I’d have to be crazy to add to the menagerie but tonight I’m tempted. I hopped [Keep Reading]

Confession:
I can’t leave Pinterest alone.
I know it isn’t good for me.
I know I shouldn’t spend so much time there when so many other things need my attention.
I know I won’t make/see/do/visit/read/cook/plant even a tiny fraction of what I’ve pinned so far.
It doesn’t matter.
Rational thought eludes me when Pinterest is in view.
It’s my drug. My siren song.
I even Googled “Pinterest Support Groups.” I shouldn’t have.
I should have known better.
There are Pinterest “Support Groups” on Pinterest.
Of course there are.
The tab is open on my browser this very minute. I can’t close it. Not until I’ve looked at all of it.
Resistance is futile.
Why kid myself? This is bigger than I am.
Send help. Later.
Right now, I’m busy.
Someday I might take the time to figure out why my Pins aren’t showing up in the sidebar.
Then, my life will be Pinter-perfect.

It’s after work and you’re tired but you have a house filled with hungry people who are expecting to be fed so you square your shoulders, gird your loins and pull into the closest parking space you can find, which, because of the rain, is located in the way-back [Keep Reading] |

 Just Say ItValentine’s Day is one of those holidays that can foster insecurity. It begins in grade school. Do you remember worrying that you wouldn’t have any drugstore valentines from your classmates dropped into the shoebox you decorated with construction paper hearts? I always found this particular tradition a mix of faith – that someone liked me enough [Keep Reading] |
 One Man’s Cocktail is Another Man’s Reason For SobrietyWhen I was a kid, one of my favorite things to do was to create “potions.” I’d mix up whatever stuff I could find – coffee grounds, ketchup, pepper, juice – and see if I could convince my younger siblings to have a taste. Sometimes they would. They hold a grudge against me to this [Keep Reading] |

 Styling MantisCute. All of it. Even the periwinkle hair. I don’t know where I found this and it doesn’t show up on either Google or Tin Eye’s reverse image search. If [Keep Reading] |
 These are Shoes?I must truly live under a rock because I’m just now, this very minute, aware of Alexander McQueen‘s armadillo shoes. How I’ve missed this….whatever it is….for the last two years, I don’t know. Wow. Are these really shoes? Seriously? People actually wear these? Except for Lady GaGa, who may not actually qualify as “people,” who [Keep Reading] |
 ‘Do BluesI’m so tired of my hair. It’s just sitting there on my head taking up real estate. We - my hair and I – are in dire need of help. The hair needs a new style and I need to stop fantasizing about shaving my head. I’m not opposed to female baldness; I used to have my [Keep Reading] |
