  Music soothes the savage

  05.20.08 | Permalink | 9 Comments

  Things were tense tonight. Tense and torn. We are positively torn between David A. and David C. I told Dick this morning that I planned to vote for Cook because his accidental rise to fame is so appealing. If you believe that whole thing about him only auditioning by chance while supporting his brother, you [...]

  What works not for me: Gift-giving, and, naturally, a GIVEAWAY!

  05.06.08 | Permalink | 14 Comments

  It has long been my ambition in life to not be like Whitey’s drunk dad in Follow Me Boys. Instead I’d like to be the inspirational, compassionate, Boy Scout-leading Fred MacMurray.

  04.01.08 | Permalink | 14 Comments

  Further proof that it is preferable to give than to receive, at least when it comes to advice: My ‘greatest hits’ WFMW post so far was my ‘backwards’ edition of Am I the Only One?. I asked if I were the only one to experience greater desire for sex than my husband and expressed frustration [...]

  Makes-Me-Smile Monday: the Thinkin’ Bloggers Carnival

  03.26.08 | Permalink | 4 Comments

  I started hosting the MMSM carnival about a year ago, and then stopped six months ago when we moved across the country. I miss the interaction and the focused/directed writing of the carnival, though not the mindless terror of fearing that, this Monday, no one might participate. I enjoy the Rocks in My Dryer WFMW [...]
