Normally, I have time on Thursday evening or Friday morning to tap this out, but this week did not obey. It started strong with a fun Sunday...

Are you ready to ramble? Greetings from our staycation! Technically, I’m not here. I wrote this before our vacation began, so details of the actual staycation will be saved for next Friday.

Are you ready to ramble? Yes, I have trouble with my cuticles and I leave my tea bag in the mug ’til I’m done drinking. Not the most photo-worthy of images, but also very much the real me. I’ve been a nail picker since childhood. That’s what I’m doing in this...

Are you ready to ramble? Whew. So much was crammed into this week. I think I left the house almost every day which is saying something for this hermit here.

Are you ready to ramble? It’s always a little weird to be posting on Friday but telling you about the last week, including whatever happened on the weekend. For my Sunday to Saturday brain, it’s weird, anyway. But, since I can’t promise to do blog work on the weekend, this will...
