Sure They’re Cute At First…
When Dan and I bought our first home back in the dark ages, we were just like any other first time homeowners; broke. We were also really excited about our townhouse, which we thought was just perfect, and it was … Continue reading

So I’ve been blogging since last August. If I’ve made even one person smile it’s all worth it. Nah, just kidding, there’s a better reason. I am trying to make a living as a writer, and I’ve done lots of … Continue reading

Lost Dogs and Lucky Cats
Am I a magnet for weird people? Answer that question carefully. I was just eating lunch, that’s all. Lots of people do that right? I was minding my own business-hovered over my laptop and not even looking up. A gentleman walks right … Continue reading
Judgment Call
If there’s one thing I can’t stand (no worries, there are dozens more) it’s people who pass judgment on other people. Who do these people think they are? Me? Of course I judge people, but I’m a professional with years … Continue reading
