The other day I was singing in the shower, as I am wont to do, and found “What’s the Use of Wondrin” flowing from my lips. This was a surprise. I was in “Carousel” as a high school junior but that song was a Julie Jordan solo. My job during the scene was to stand and nod in an inspired fashion while Julie poured out […]

It would seem I need to create a whole category here for vomit related posts. That’s right. It happened again tonight.We were at Panda Express, the favorite of both my children. I was waiting at the table with Enzo when, out of nowhere, he started the tell tale gagging cough. This time I caught it in my bare hands. Lucky it wasn’t more than a […]
We stopped in at a bike shop to inquire about the possibility of conveying three children under the power of a lone biking adult.Last Christmastime, while walking through the mall I happened upon a bike shop, it’s windows full of beautifully painted, basket laden beach cruisers. I have no interest in biking long distances or through mountains and accordingly my interest in bikes died when […]
I can’t figure out what my problem is with doll clothes. I’ve been working all day and the only fruits I have to show for my labor are an abandoned ill shaped t-shirt, a some what less ill shaped dress that will at least be suitable for Baby Girl to adopt on behalf of her own dolls, and a bodice, fairly well constructed though it […]
Yesterday I was in the food court at the mall and there was a girl wearing a “class of ’10” t-shirt and awful denim underpants with a slit about an inch to the left of the left back pocket that equaled the length of the pocket in question, allowing for a generous view of side cheek. So I’m sitting there enjoying my lunch when she […]

Ruffled diaper covers for baby girl bums I am not including a photo of the baby niece’s dress because I already did in this post. This is Baby Girl’s ensemble. I decided I liked the eyelet skirt better than the stripped dress so all I made for her was the satin belt with the beaded buckle. Little Bitty’s dress I made to match the blouse […]
I awoke this morning to the sound of my dog vomiting in his kennel. Being serenaded in one’s waking moments really is a good way to ease into the day, and dog retching lends such a peaceful tone to any situation. Makes a girl feel all chipper and ready to face whatever the coming day has in store!
Thank you for stopping by every second Monday for the past 2 years to see if I am in need of any frozen goods. I heartily enjoy the cut corn and beef taquitos you supply. I also appreciate the fact that despite my rudeness in pretending not to be home when I don’t need anything you continue to be courteous on the rare occasion that […]
For the past few years since the Easter Bunny has been coming to our house I’ve been a bit conflicted.You see, he has been bringing cheap-y easter themed toys and such. The kind of thing that is fun for a few days and then lies around the house until I find opportunity to sneak it into the trash.The conflict comes from the fact that I […]
I hate it when people add music to their blogs! There is only one blog I’ve ever encountered who does so but I hate it. I hate it so much I just left without even reading any thing other that the sentence I got through before the dreaded music turned on. The music interrupts my thought pattern. I get into a blogging zone of sorts […]
