Hello, my lovelies! I hope this finds you all happy, healthy, wealthy & wise! I know it’s been forever and I apologize for losing my mojo somewhere along the way. I searched & searched and just couldn’t find it. At least, I couldn’t make a go of “Diary of a House Elf” anymore. When you … Continue reading

Multi MEdia
S’up, dawgs? It’s been awhile. It’s been so long, in fact, that I hardly know how to begin. I have a multitude of posts jingle-jangling in my head all vying for attention. Mad ones, happy ones, sad and angry ones, a few inspirational ones, some highly personal ones and some straight-up funny ones. I’ve been … Continue reading

Leaving the shopping centre to see dozens of police cars and a massive cordoned-off area? Check. Possible gang-related murder? Check. What the eff??? Chloe and I managed to find … Continue reading

PHOTO FETISH FRIDAY
Seeing as the flights have been booked, today’s photo seems appropriate. In 2009, we visited Paris for the first time and it was everything I had hoped it would be and more. I had been dreaming of all things Parisian ever since my high school French teacher – an actual Parisian, in Everett, WA of … Continue reading
WEEKLY WANT
This week, I am re-launching my “Weekly Want” posts with a special request…. I’d like a sassy gay friend. I think if you triangulated a lifelong relationship and love of most things Shakespeare, my relationship with my daughter, Chloe and any friendship drama I’ve ever had, this desire was born. You could probably plot it’s … Continue reading
