It’s Fantasy Island!

1. “De DEER! De DEER!”
2. Two drips run down the dry windshield. Drool from the panther perched in the tree above, just waiting for the poor fool driving to open the door?
3. SWOOSH.
4. “SCRREEEEEEEEECHTHUDTHUHDUMP”
1. Lots of them tend to be out at 2, 3, 4am. This I knew, this I drove through in spite of [...]

Lizard Whisperer

“Ok, be still. I’m just gonna grab you… I won’t hurt you…” *grab*
“Shhh, now, you’re ok. Just stay put till I get you outside…” *place in flower pot*

Happy Thanksgiving! Not that this post has ANYthing to do with that…

There are lots of people who think I’m a big hard a**. I kinda like it that way, cuz it keeps the fakes away. People have to want to know me to be with me, and when they do, they find I am a soft-hearted, scared little girl. Being witchy is a great filter.

Love – That is the Question

Verily, my ears overfloweth with mantras and platitudes.
“It all works out okay in the end. If it isn’t ok yet, it isn’t the end.” “Love isn’t about what you say, it’s about what you do.” “Meow. Meow, meow? ME! OW!”
