YouTube – Lysol: cleaning from the inside out

Just found another book that I really want to read. Incredible.

YouTube – Lysol: cleaning from the inside out

on loving Woolf

I have so many thoughts swirling around about Virginia Woolf’s “A Room of One’s Own” that it will be virtually impossible to get any of them down on this page in a form where they make the least bit of sense whatsoever. I have 4 pages left to read, and I want to savor each [...]

Cut like a buffalo

“you know i look like a woman but I, I cut like a buffalo”

These words, from a song by the Dead Weather,  beloved Jack White’s latest endeavor, speak volumes about how I feel today. Take these words to mean what you like, and in the context of the song they may not mean what they [...]

glimmer of sun

yes, actually that happened today. Both literally and figuratively. I feel like I am coming over a crest. Not saying that there won’t be another wave, but today I feel an eentsy bit better.
A lot has contributed to this, but the primary factor is that I saw my husband today on Skype. Seeing him and hearing him [...]

Grief and Change

I have so much to write about.  These thoughts and various words keep zipping in and out of my mind, and I want to give them form and meaning but am feeling pretty incapable. Soothing…I need soothing, and these things called words that pour from my fingers can be like a balm on these hurt [...]

Words

Purveyors of guilt-land
doling it out in measured doses.
‘here’s some for you…
and plenty for you’
shoulds and should nots
shame and blame
there’s plenty to go around.
don’t worry, you’ll get your share.
seeming innocous words
slender snaky tendrils that creep
and spread
then wrap ropey tentacles around vital places
and choke.
armed with pruning shears sharpened
with truth and hope,
i cannot snip away each new shoot.
‘ah, [...]

I like Pressing 1 for English

Thinking about this and what the hell is wrong with pushing 1 for English. This is prompted from several emails that I have received lately that talk about this as a bad thing. (Sometimes just hitting delete is a very good thing. When I don’t, issues like this take up headspace).
 I personally like knowing that I have [...]

Updated Book List

I have updated my book list and am ever nearer to approaching the actual #50 that the list is entitled. Woohoo! I must say, that as I look up likely titles I begin to feel overwhelmed by the sheer amount of literature out there that I feel I ’should’ have read or should now read! [...]

The Little Prince

is on its way back to the library in just a few moments. I thought it would be nice to share an idea or two first about this very lovely and incredibly sweet story. I wonder how much the story relates to Antoine de Sant-Exupery’s life…how much he felt like the little boy in the [...]

can’t ruin

Apprently despite my best efforts, pumpkin is practically un-ruinable. Last night while I was blogging instead of watching my potts I scalded the pumpkin butter. Slightly burned on the bottom. I didn’t realize it until I had already stirred in some of the burnt bits from the bottom. Unbelievable, it is much much better than [...]
