I can’t help it. I am addicted to the Snowmuncher game at Neopets.com. I really enjoyed Destruct-O-Match, Chemistry for Beginners was good, and I had a blast with Deckswabber. But, I am addicted to Snowmuncher. I’m not very good at it. I am usually finished with the game within 10 minutes. Maybe that’s why I [...]
When I was in college, I had a friend that could sing beautifully. I have no musical ability. She was rehearsing for a show one night and I was amazed. “How can you sing like that? I could never do that.” I told her. She said she didn’t know how she did it. She just [...]
Not too long ago, I ran into the grocery store to pick up a gallon of milk and a few things for dinner. When I came back out, I was angry. I got in the car steaming. My husband asked me what was wrong. I looked at him angrily and said, “That little (censored) called [...]

My husband stopped at the WaWa in Central Park to get gas this evening. Gas is usually about 10 cents cheaper at that WaWa than it is at ours. While he was there, three men came up to him and asked for directions to Centerville. People always ask my husband for directions. I guess he [...]
I decided to plant potatoes this year. Not in a garden, I don’t have enough room for that. I planted them in a trashcan.
I was searching for a web article about growing vegetables in containers. I came across this site – Taters in a Barrel. I had to try it. I have an abundant supply [...]
A trip to the Freer Gallery, a kiln fired pottery display, and a painting of a semi-naked woman in a chair somehow became this digital image. I was admiring an ancient piece of chinese pottery while my youngest daughter weaved in and out of the displays. I thought, good thing there’s glass around these things. [...]
