Looking at a picture I snapped this afternoon, which I’ll share in just a moment, I was reminded of a few unusual injuries I’ve gotten through the years. The first of two weird things happened when I was about fifteen. I somehow managed to scrape the back of my ankle on the footstool in the […]
I’ve always called the months between October and April ‘sweater weather.’ And it’s my favorite ‘season’ because I LOVE sweaters. As long as they’re soft instead of itchy. Pullovers, cardigans. Doesn’t matter. If they feel right and I like the color, I’ll be wearing one. The oldest piece of clothing I own is … not […]
Okay, so maybe I exaggerate a bit. Oymyakon, Russia is supposedly the coldest inhabited place in the world - according to Google anyway. With a -58 degree (F) temperature, I’d have to agree. But with a -13 temperature with a -25 windchill in the overnight forecast, Michigan is going to feel nearly half that cold. […]
By now, everyone should know that I am not a member of the Grammar Nazi Club. I don’t care about typos. I don’t care if someone uses there instead of they’re. I don’t believe that how we spell, or whether or not we can use every word in the English language correctly, is any indicator […]

According to an in-depth study by Roger Ekirch, an historian at Virgina Tech, first sleeps and second sleeps used to be quite common prior to (and even into) the 1800’s. […]
If you’ve been following my blog for any length of time, you know that I love music … especially videos. And if you don’t, going back through my older posts will reveal that one song or another is featured in a fair number of them. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn […]
Consideration is romantic. ~~~ Really. It is. It’s one of the reasons your Romeo or Juliet fell in love you with in the beginning. You showed him or her consideration and respect. You were thoughtful and considered your words and actions because you wanted to make a good impression. Ladies, did you start out making […]
I used to love Betty Crocker Warm Delights, specifically, the Molten Chocolate Cake. Actually, I still do. I just can’t have them anymore. You mix a little water with the cake batter in the little bowl, squeeze the packet of hot fudge over the top, nuke for about 45 seconds … and voila! You have […]
