It’s Banned Book Week!

Today is the day you might considering running to your nearest public library or bookstore to peruse the banned book displays.  Read one and thank the ALA for your Intellectual Freedom.  It’s fun and subversive!  I highly recommend this type of behavior! 
Kathleen Parker (syndicated psycho-bitch columnist) has written a clear, firm directive on:  “There is [...]

Reconnecting via Facebook & classmates.com

After returning from the HS reunion, I was “friended” by several people who I went to elementary school and junior high with back in the 60’s. They attended my neighborhood HS.  38 years later, I call myself an “unwilling transfer student”.  Due to reasons, I don’t wish to explain, I requested to attend a different -out-of-district local HS.  [...]

“IT’S ALWAYS SOMETHING!!!

I can hear Rosanne -Rosanna- Dana making comments as I ponder the “good” things about various neighbor’s dogs barking excessively into the night and a car alarm going off for 15 minutes @ 11 pm before it’s owner  finally bleeped it off.  “IT’S ALWAYS SOMETHING!!!”  Is it because we have the AC off and enjoy natural [...]

Ostrich egg $ 19.99

My sweetie took me for a sunset drive this evening.  We made the trek across the “rivah” to the new Whole Foods Market in Short Pump.  I know he was trying to appease my foul mood- the Sunday night dread.  It worked!  Not only did we go “topless” in his car, but we got to [...]

Yoga!

There are so many types of yoga to stretch out with these days.  I’d like to give credit where credit is due.  I owe many of my good moods and times of happiness and clarity to yoga !  I began taking a Rec & Parks Yoga class in Roanoke in 1980 due to infertility problems. ( I [...]
