Golly! It’s been a few weeks since my last post, which I think is the longest stretch I’ve not posted in a year. I guess sometimes life takes over and some things get pushed to one side, temporarily. I’ve been quite busy this past month with work, class, restocking my Etsy store (2 sales already, [...]
What a lovely week I’m having! I’ve been exploring quite a few things… …like Pilates. I’ve discovered a form of exercise that tricks me into exercising! Score! In so doing, I’ve also discovered muscles I didn’t know existed. And I finally understand why sporty people bang on about the endorphin high. I have a fabulous [...]

Standing over the printer watching my impending itinerary to Vermont appear with each tuv-tuv-tuv, I suddenly heard a loud and muffled WUMP! and all the lights were out. Actually, what I noticed was that the computer screen was dark. [...]

For those of you who also follow my flaurena™ and Shyhound™ blogs, you may already be aware of my plans to move to Los Angeles in March/April.
