There is a fine line. Wondering if I crossed it… Or just nudged it some. ———————————————— Not sure why, and not sure I really want to delve into why, but every time lately when I enter a bathroom I begin studying what is happening rather intently.

Grandma’s Rock – Caption Contest
Mothers who are grand spread special love, wet kisses secrets and treasure. =========================== We lived for 3 years in England, so often I pretend to have insider knowledge of the English.

Do your new reading glasses make my ass look fat? The evolution of a marriage…
Small, square, the ad read: “…A cuddly renaissance dude…” With that, I was hooked. ———————————————- Today I celebrate 19 years of wonderful marriage to Frank. Wow. Nine-teen. That’s a lot.

Oh my god… I’m an adult
Personal insights At war with reality… Well, this should be fun. ————— To my friend… surely you will know this is about you. But it isn’t about you. It is how ‘you’ led me to a great personal insight that lends itself to a blog post. I sincerely hope you (and your family) won’t be [...]

I Strongly Dislike Paleontologists (#2 in the Bastards series)
Complex dino names Roll off his tongue like ice cream While I stammer, lost… ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am mother to the most adorable, sweet, kiss-filled 5-year-old boy in the entire universe.
