My bed room floor is currently in the process of being re-done. Also, a clean half of my family is feverish. This means that all day my house has been brimful of fumes, sickies and displaced furniture. Winning combination. No? I decided in the late morning that the circumstances called for brownies so while on a brief respite mission (read; trip to the grocery store) […]
It being February and all we’re been making Valentines around here. Ziz and I had a discussion today about hugs and kisses or rather about xoxo. I’ve always operated under the impression that the x’s are the kisses because the x is reminiscent of a pucker and the o’s are the hugs because your arms go around the other person like an o.

Finally she took notice of the Cadbury Creme Egg taking up […]
There is a cement truck down the street creating backyard Paradise for the neighbors and temporary insanity for my dog.
