The Loveliest Village on the Plains

OK, it’s QUIZ TIME! Test your knowledge, step up to the plate, yadda, yadda, yadda. You will fail. Just so you’re prepared.
1. Name the location: A pencil sketch of “The Flush” (and a darned good one at that) hangs in “the foyer.” Said locale also has a sign that reads, “Odell Tires – [...]

Another Day’s News

He: “Thanks for helping me out today. I want to buy you dinner tonight. I was thinking a steak.”
Me: “Ok. Where? ‘Cheap Steaks R Us’?”
He: “‘Cheap Steaks R Us’ or ‘We Got Great Ribs,’ either one.”
Me: “Ok, well, ‘Great Ribs’ will be busy on a Friday night, but I need to do some things in [...]

The Cursed

I have never wanted a magic wand more than I have recently. I know most people would wish a better life for their friends if they could, and if they were given three wishes and told to give one away, they would most likely wave it over the lives of those they love. I am no [...]

What lesson is this, now…?

This post will be a multi-part, just so you know. A handy dandy three-in-one.

I have a friend who did the Blogging for Boobs thing over on this page. I told her I wanted to blog the latest word: shampoo. I had great intentions, if not entirely original. Shampoo: who wants it? Real poo is bad [...]

Yard Birds

***humming*** I bought myself a turkey…to make some turkey soup…

I got home from Wal-Mart tonight and stepped up on my porch, only to come face to face with a HUGE lump. One of my neighbor’s birds decided to roost up front tonight, apparently. It was quite sleepy, so I left it alone. I hope it’s [...]

Blue Sky, Blue Me

Today blue owns me.  I will not dignify it with a capital letter, but it knows its’ power, even without it.  My friends are back in town, returned from a 2-yr journey into higher education, complete with an addition to the family (the two-legged kind). We did lunch today, and honestly? I don’t think I’ll [...]

I’d better learn to make my bed.
Sez’ I, “But I’ll just get back in
