The first thing that I thought of was the fact that maybe my roots need retouching?? Where I live, it certainly can’t have anything to do with growing things… I wish!!
On a different note, we left early this morning for our Christmas holiday in Port Charlotte, Florida. I can’t wait to see my first palm tree. I plan on logging in here on a daily basis, so don’t be a stranger!

Guess I’m in a frugal mood, but today I found this interesting. I knew that vinegar was pretty versatile, but I didn’t know that it could do his much.

I have been given a letter from over at “Do I Have to Call It a Blog” and then I have to come up with ten words and what those words mean to me. You are about to see how my mind actually works! My letter is… R.! So, lets see.
1. Rhubarb… brings back tons of memories when I was a kid. During the summer holidays, who had time for lunch… I just broke off a stalk of rhubarb and that was lunch. No wonder I was a skinny kid.
2. Rat… a cute litte cartoon rodent on a …read more

It’s officially “Slip in a Siesta Day”. And that would be because life has been so hectic lately, that we need all the help we can get. And it could have something to do with me having to get up tomorrow morning at 4 am to head to Florida for Christmas.

“A catless writer is almost inconceivable. It’s a perverse taste, really, since it would be easier to write with a herd of buffalo in the room than even one cat; they make nests in the notes and bite the end of the pen and walk on the typewriter keys.”

Actually, I do some of my best work sitting in a coffee shop. I tend to like the hustle and bustle that is all around me. I guess it comes down to what works best for you. Now the odd thing is that I can’t work at home with the radio on.

Well, that obviously works for me. Okay, so I’m sure that it could get out of hand. I was just watching this video last night where this toddler decided that she liked things covered in chocolate and then proceeded to drizzle her entire bedroom in chocolate syrup.

Stuff for you writers out there…

I just thought that I would put the question out there and see what kind of feedback I get… Here’s the possibilities:
~I do everything
~My partner/husband takes care of most of it.
~It’s a joint effort.
~The entire family pitches in.
So, who is doing all of the fun stuff in your family??
