March was weird. I’m usually methodical when it comes to my monthly goals and feel satisfied at month’s end. But this past month, I was all over the place and very scattered, leaving me to feel unsatisfied. Not that I didn’t accomplish some of my goals, but the BIG ones that I thought were so… Continue Reading

ZENmamaGranola – I might like that
I’ve been pretty lucky in my on-line travels. Here are some things that I’ve won: Fig & Thyme Jam from the lovely and talented, Ashley English of Small Measure. Kona Coffee and Chocolate-covered macadamia nuts in a blog hop from Joscie, who lives in Honolulu. Clip sheets from Whitney English for simply retweeting about them… Continue Reading
Dogs Without Blogs – San
I don’t know what it is about Minnesota, but they raise them some good dogs! Here’s another that hails from the North Star state and her human, Jessica. Dog Questions What is your name? Hiiiiiiii! I’m San (rhymes with fawn, not fan). It’s a Japanese name. My mom named me after the main character in… Continue Reading
Blue Collar Shiksa
Passover begins Monday and I’m thankful this year to be attending someone else’s Seder. The post below was written last year amidst planning my first Seder at home. It’s interesting to read it from my perspective now. The stress that poor girl (me!) was under feels palpable. Now I’m all “la-dee-da-dee” and relaxed. The process… Continue Reading
44 x 44 – Double Digits
Well, crikey! I’m finally in double digits for reaching my goal in August. After three months, it should be more. And the funny thing is (weird funny, not fun funny), I know exactly what I’m doing wrong to make the loss so s-l-o-w. I’m a yo-yo-er. So, I’ve done this before at various times in… Continue Reading

Dogs Without Blogs – Scout
What a fantastic name, right? Scout hails from Minnesota and is lucky enough to live with photographer, Johanna, to capture her handsome dog-ness. Let’s meet them both! Dog Questions What is your name? Scout What breed of dog are you? Well, no one knows for sure. My daddy say that I’m part coyote, but I… Continue Reading
Color Palette
It’s been a rough morning with some technical issues on my site. (Hackers are mean people and you know what the bumper sticker says, right?) Anyway, it has held up what I was originally going to post. I’ve been furiously working on the Specialty Shops on RDP and it’s very close to how I want… Continue Reading
Water Brain
I usually have a pretty good (and attractive) head on my shoulders. I listen, I aim to please and I love like the dickens. But there is one little flaw in all this doggie goodness… I lose my mind when it comes to swimming. It’s almost like a blackout of pure bliss for me. As… Continue Reading
