If you can learn to use them regularly, your life will go more smoothly, you’ll have less need to make excuses, and people will like you better. Use them, and mean them. 2.

The woman known to My Charming and Patient Husband and myself as Aunt Betsy, and to most of the Blogosphere as Ms. Kitty tagged us both with this one. As usual, nobody but nobody is faster to jump on a book subject than Joel … I think he may be considering legally adding “Bookworm” as […]

I don’t see it, I’ll start by saying that; but it’s awfully flattering. Sharon at The Bird’s Nest awarded me with the Arte y Pico award. Flattering, especially, because I am so inspired by her posts so frequently. (She probably doesn’t realize this, because more often than not I have my hands full of baby […]

For August 15, 2008 I’ve seen these several places, and decided to look into it. Here‘s where it began, and I rather like the idea. Please feel free, readers, to join in. Outside My Window… A riot of pumpkin plants. I didn’t actually plant them, but they grew from compost; now we have most of […]

Coffee. There’s something reassuring about old routines, and I’ve always kind of associated coffee with […]

Sharon at The Bird’s Nest nominated me for the Nice Matters Award. (Thank you, Sharon. This is the first time I’ve gotten anything like that, and you made my day.) I’m sorry for taking so long to respond; I was afraid that all the people I’d think of would already have gotten nominated, so I […]

I picked this one up at Housewife in Flip Flops. Everyone can list what bothers them; here’s what I can shrug over. 1. Buying clothes at thrift stores.
