Consumer whore
I went to the mall today. 4 dresses and a BK lunch later, I'm home, admiring my purchases. I really should start playing the lottery; then I could support my fantasy shopping habit ( Read more... ) -
Thank God for free wi-fi!
Many of you know that my Granddad (my Mom's Dad) passed away three weeks ago and that my Grandma (my Dad's Mom) passed away last week.

How did we get so lucky?
My darling Owl is asleep again this morning after waking up briefly and singing himself back to sleep. Earlier, I listened, grinning and chuckling to myself, as he took his voice up high then down low, punctuating the glissandos with several repeated short syllables. There were no words, just enjoyment; the sound of his voice bouncing off the ( Read more... )
