I’m a saint and a sinner. I’m a loser and a winner.

Goddess | April 15, 2009

I really love this old song.  And I love the video too.
Jessica Andrews -  Who I Am
If I live to be a hundred
And never see the seven wonders
That’ll be alright
If I don’t make it to the big leagues
If I never win a Grammy
I’m gonna be just fine
‘Cause I know exactly who I am
I am Rosemary’s [...]

Dream Weaver Cafe

Goddess | April 10, 2009

Jade and I were in Prince Frederick twice this week.  You know the shopping center when you go over the Benedict bridge and just keep goin’ straight until you hit an intersection with a light?  That one.  There used to be a restaurant called “Mom’s in the Kitchen” there.  Will and I went to that [...]

Growing Pains

Goddess | February 23, 2009

No little heartache feels quite the same as when your child has decided that just about everything you say is exasperating.  That your mere existence is an obstacle, unless of course they need cash or a ride.
The same child who greeted you with outstretched arms in the morning and nestled her little warm head into [...]

Eye Candy

Goddess | February 17, 2009

My friend Tracy gave our family handmade hard candy for our holiday treat.  We have been slowly working our way through the stash of three flavors - my favorite is the cherry, which reminds me of Christmas and Easter lollies from my childhood.  It’s not of the “Sucrets” variety flavor, which I have oft times [...]

Where did the last bloggy go???

Goddess | May 29, 2008

I’ve been pokin’ ’round my usual blog haunts this morning, but not many folks have updated lately.  Must be a busy month.  It has been for me.  Busy, then ill for a chunk of the month, now catching up.  Plus, it’s the end of the school year.  This means dances, extra rehearsals, field trips and [...]

The bird outside is singing…

Goddess | May 21, 2008

The door behind me is open and I can hear a bird singing.  He’s singing hard, looking for the girl bird who might respond to his call.
I’m not ready to totally give up on this blog yet.  So many of the photos are broken and the text is messed up in spots.  Mostly because it’s [...]

The Second Child

Goddess | December 6, 2007

Many people do not understand my relationrelationship(s). Some revile it.
I sometimes find myself trying to come up with ways to explain it, not because I feel I need to make explanations, but because I want myself to be better understood. Maybe even less reviled.
This morning, for whatever reason, I was thinking of my relationship with [...]

Here is a place you can order local eggs from. Amber brought the flier home from the [...]

I effing hate some marketing companies.

admin | May 16, 2007

This is one of the most vile mainstream ads I've ever seen.

In this ad you are to race the guy unraveling the other womans sweater dress - if you don't do it in time you are called a “LOSER” - Verizon - if they are any part of [...]

Doesn't ANYBODY else think it's cheesy and cheap…

admin | March 22, 2007

…to take something you did to honor a dead legend and alter it a little to honor a different one? I mean, isn't that re-gifting in the WORST possible bad taste?
I always thought it was so stoopit the way Elton John took the song he wrote in honor of Marylin Monroe - Candle in [...]

Hippie clothes for fat girls! YA HOO!

admin | March 22, 2007

Okay, so my quest for hippie fat girl clothes hasn't been a total dead end.
It's not always been easy to find stylish plus size clothes and plus size hippie clothes are no exception. I will say that the choices today are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better and more bountiful than in the past say in my [...]

Who's suffering are you benefiting from?

admin | March 4, 2007

I posted this on my cafe blog - just wanted to share it here too. The questions touch our core and run deep through history - the only solution I have is for forgiveness to take root - it's the only thing I think that can heal.

WTF?

admin | February 22, 2007

Did you ever just find yourself websurfing and wonder how the HELL you ended up on a certain page.
I landed on THIS page tonight. Folks, do NOT ask me how, it was in my google search for Waldorf - I don't even know how eventually I came upon it.

A Complicated Woman

This evening Equality Maryland is in Annapolis lobbying for equal rights for all Marylanders.
I don't know if people wonder why I support gay rights. I don't know if they care.
Actually, I have never felt the desire to discriminate against anybody based on such a thing. When [...]

If you don't know what the Dixie Chicks did back in 2003 that was so horrible watch THIS video of the Chicks on Hardball.
Let me say that I am not a huge country music fan, generally speaking. I lean [...]

Anna Nicole

admin | February 8, 2007

Anna Nicole Smith died today. Of course everybody is waiting to find out what killed her.
She was a terrible role model and appeared to have some major problems, but it's still sad news. Shocking to some. I wasn't really shocked.
She always seemed like one of those people plagued with sadness inside. [...]
