Okay not really. But kind of. Sort of. Alright, yes it’s true. My brain doesn’t want to think anymore it seems. Reading literature is too much work. I want mindless reading, thank you very much. And so, (for quite some time now) I’m hooked on romance novels. Yes I’m freely admitting it here. Smoochy, kissy, … Continued

Have you set up Google Authorship on your blog yet?
Google kindly emailed me today to let me know that I’ve established authorship on one of my blogs. Which means my Google profile photo and a link to my Google+ profile can now appear next to my content in search results. It looks like this: My example doesn’t use an actual article from Confessions of a … Continued
I’m no country music fan but…
I’m no country music fan. Flat out. I’m not. You won’t find me line dancing* or two steppin’ my way across a dance floor (for one, I’m not coordinated enough and second, I’m just not into it). However I do appreciate good music. Which means there are some country songs I like. A couple by … Continued
What are you doing this fall season? I have good times ahead…
This summer has flown by awful fast. I can’t believe it’s September. I am stupefied over it. Even if I don’t believe the date on the calendar, I have to accept that it’s September because my allergies are driving me buggy! I want to scratch out my eyes and snip the end off my itchy … Continued
I’m a grownup but I miss home room
When I was in junior high school*, my home room was the library. To a bookworm like me, it was the best way to start my day. For three years the library was not just a gathering place for attendance but a place to prepare mentally for the day ahead. A sanctuary of sorts – … Continued
Let the girl be a shark already, and the boy a bumblebee
I’m a huge online shopper, much to my husband’s chagrin. I love the convenience of it. Especially when it comes to purchasing clothes for Sweet Girl. I know her size, I know what she needs. Why would I lug myself (and potentially herself) down to the mall when I can buy what she needs in … Continued
This is crazy but I love Shiraz Malbec, baby
In July I discovered a delicious wine. Soft, well balanced with notes of cherry and plum that dance along the palate in a smooth velvet line. Indeed. The best part? This wine is not only delicious, it’s a steal at $7.95. Now I hear your skepticism but I kid you not. This wine is tasty. … Continued
Unless you’re talking cake, I can’t hear you
I think the selective hearing my toddler engages in is hilarious. I mean, talk about a life skill. Learned at such a young age, my Sweet Girl is bound to move through life on her own terms. In her own chosen reality. Case in point…say any of the following to her: “Sweet Girl, time for … Continued
I’m a badass hundredaire!
Fair warning. This post is rather shallow. Or reflects shallowly (word?) upon me. I’m rich in all the things that count. Like family, friends and toddler artwork. I live in a beautiful (if still somewhat dated) home in the ‘burbs. It’s a nice kind of ‘burbs…with mature trees, winding trails and beautiful parks. Walk through … Continued
Time flies…and flies…
Three years. Goes by fast. We went from here…all squint-eyed and shiny-new… To here… …in no time flat. A typical one-year-old always on the go. Then came soulful eyes and an intense personality… Today you are hilarious, determined and a joy… Happy Birthday, Sweet Girl. You are loved.
