And so this is Christmas…almost
Ah, Christmas. It's my very favorite holiday, however frenzied and frazzled it may cause me to be. Like you, I'm choosing gifts, sending cards, and all the rest. And, like many of you, I've got a lot of other things to do, like work. 🙂 In all the hustle and...
Is my face red?
🙂 Well, actually, no. I had a great time at the show, and, since most or all of these guys could have been my son (and a late-life baby at that), I can't say I got terribly excited. (Bring on Sam Elliott, Clint Eastwood or George Strait and it might be a whole...
I was minding my own business when….
...I blundered at the Thunder Down Under show. 🙂 Friends Renae Kinsey and Bill Francis took me to see this wild male-stripper show at the Excalibur in Vegas. These guys (the performers, not Bill and Renae) are kids, really, albeit very athletic and well-built ones,...
Coming to you live from Lost Wages, Nevada….
🙂 Well, it's been a fun trip so far, with more excitement coming soon. Wednesday night, when we arrived (we being Jenni, Wendy and me), we checked in at the Venetian and basically crashed, we were all so worn out. The flights themselves were pleasant enough, but...
Lots of getting ready
Although I will be writing today, I've got packing to do, etc. , for the Vegas trip. I'll be taking along a few clothes from Chico's for the lunches and dinners (according to Jen, her memoirs will be titled, "The Devil Wears Chico's" 🙂 ), and bopping around in...
My weekend
I DID get some writing done, though the whole process is moving much more slowly than I'd like. On Saturday, I was too exhausted to work, so I puttered, slept, listened to Lisa See's wonderful book, "Snowflower and the Secret Fan". I'm now RE-listening to "The Joy...
Winners are…
Becky in Hauser, Idaho and Kathy--if you're THE Kathy, you've received an email from Jenni. Congratulations to both of you!
Stone Soup
That's about the only thing I haven't tried around here--stone soup. (But stay tuned.) 🙂 Gemstones ARE used by practitioners to energize food--although, obviously, one must not try to chew them. 🙂 SERIOUSLY: certain semi-precious stones, like malachite, are...
What happened to quilting?
Yesterday I received an email from a long, long-time friend and faithful blog-reader, asking what ever happened to all that quilting I was planning to do. 🙂 A reasonable question, actually--thanks, Jeanie Beanie-- and the answer is: I'm still planning to quilt. ...
I may levitate 🙂
My giant, beautiful flourite sphere arrived from China yesterday, and I'm so excited. The thing is HUGE. This being my favorite member of the mineral family, the stone I call the spiritual super-conductor, I have big plans for using this one in meditation, etc. ...
Phew! Just made it!
Blogging today feels something like trying to jump aboard a moving freight train--but here I am! I don't mind telling you it was touch-and-go for a while there. 🙂 Our first Amazon and Barnes and Noble winners have been chosen and notified--congratulations to Brenda...
