I want to say that I’m very happy that the Los Angeles Zoo has many visitors and seems to be making a lot more money through admissions and food sales, (those $8 fruit bowls ought to be helping). But I’m a bit disappointed, not by the zoo but by the people who visit. You know, [...]

Easter bunny came to this town
Our Easter weekend was a bit emotional over here. Friday and Saturday I could feel that unsettling feeling in my stomach that I’d be alone all week. The anxiety rose up and caused lots of crying, yelling and red eyes. With enough sleep on Saturday night, (after staying up til 12:38 a.m. so that the [...]

Tattoos, Tulips & Trouble
As you can see, today’s post is brought to you by the letter T.
I’ll start the bad and work towards the good. Yesterday, Jem was suspended from school. I can’t say I wasn’t suprised. Wednesday night we all went out to dinner. When I mentioned that Shawn and I were getting tattoos on Thursday night, [...]

Spring Colors
It seems that everyone out there in blogland is experiencing an early spring. Didn’t the groundhog predict a late spring? More winter? While I love spring, I have to contradict myself because I dislike spring as well. Why? Because here in sunny Southern California our the heatwave will start early. I’m still paying off last [...]

A Review of March
It’s only the 9th, I know. But the past few days have been a blur of chaos I tell you. My knitting has been minimal, in fact I have absolutely no updates because I’m trekking along, quite slowly, on the Henley Perfected. Though, I am close to have the back done. About another 1 1/2″ [...]
