This week has been a hectic one for me. As a confirmed introvert, I need alone time to recharge and feel happy, but it hasn’t happened. My husband noticed I was getting rather quiet. He gently asked how I was doing, but I could hardly muster the energy to explain the drain I was feeling. Tonight when I returned from… Read More
Highlight of my day
I went to the hair salon to get highlights today. My husband prefers longer hair, and so do I. Sometimes I think about doing something different with my hair, and then decide I like it the way it is. As I’ve gotten older I know my hair isn’t as resilient as it used to be. It seems to break easier,… Read More
Drooling…
I consider myself a fairly decent cook. I base that on the fact that, to my knowledge, nobody has died from eating my food. One of the mental abuses I suffer is loving healthy eating and loving sugar and chocolate. It’s like having a sugar devil on one shoulder and a whole foods angel on the other. (They mostly look… Read More

I consider myself a decent cook and baker. However, there is an odd disconnect bet
Learning what we need…
My lovely friend Eva and I were discussing stress and balance today. You know, a little fluffy talk to go with our tea. We came to the conclusion that as hard as we might try to live a beautiful, happy, life there will always be areas of unhappiness. Maybe a loved one passes away, or something bad happens to a… Read More
Blackberries
I love raspberries and blackberries. Our Minnesota seasonal schedule will not provide the plump explosions of flavor until much later this summer. In our spiffy modern “lets ship food from around the world” sorta way, the blackberries are arriving in the grocery stores now and are looking and tasting really good. The cold reality of my life is that we… Read More
Have you seen my…
It’s getting to be a standard line between my husband and me. He usually says something like, “Where did you put the car keys? I just had them.” I then harrrump, and ask why he always believes I did something with _______ (fill in the blank). He then says, “Well, it would be hard for me to admit I forgot… Read More
Afternoon Delight
I love Fridays because it is usually a day my husband and I set aside to work and play together. It feels almost wicked to be able to look at each other and whisper, “Let’s go to a movie!” right in the middle of the day. Shouldn’t good and industrious people be doing good and industrious things instead of loafing… Read More
Loves my… cooking?
Does anyone besides me remember the scene from the television series Moonlighting where Cybill Shepard FINALLY turns the chemistry into a full on explosion in Bruce Willis’s test tube, so to speak? They cleared a table of some sort and experimented. While I can certainly appreciate the heat, passion, and flexibility such moments require, I find the table sex idea… Read More
Giving the bird
I know I recently mentioned how happy I am that the birds have returned to color our backyard. Really, it’s like a carnival back there. Now that the weather has slooowly warmed enough that we can open our windows at night, the 4 a.m. bird version of American Idol takes place. Those babies are singing their hearts out and I… Read More
