We are at the tailend of a winter storm here in North Carolina. The Back Forty is covered in snow and a crust of ice. Just kidding. This is a bit more manageable. Sandy gets off work at midnight and the roads were treacherous. He managed to get home safe and sound but I had…

This week has been consumed by studying (I’m pretty sure that I aced the final exam) and the arrival of my new laptop. I’ve been limping along for a long time on old computers that can’t quite handle the new technology, at least not well. My husband loves to gather up old computers and reassemble…

Actually, I wrote a long one yesterday that I lost and didn’t have the heart or the patience to rewrite it. We are in the middle of the holiday season, which brings out the imp in me, because I love to bug people who love to shop and who hate the phrase “Happy Holidays,” so…

I don’t know why it is so much more compelling this year, but the leaves have really caught my attention in a big way.

I hope to have wonderful news to share later this afternoon. Yesterday after a really lazy start to my day, I decided that I had to deal with the incredible mess that the “cat-free” second bedroom has become. This is where I keep my clothes (old houses generally are very short on closet space) and…

This is the post where I write whatever pops into my mind until my little coffee pot is empty. I’m beginning late this morning because I decided last night that I would sleep as late as I felt like sleeping. I’ve had sinus problems all week and that drags me down considerably. Usually sleeping late…
