Thanks to Zee at www.thisisnotwhatiordered.blogspot.com for posting this on her blog…it’s pretty cool.
Your Score: The Wolf
Here’s your results! Your spirit animal has a Nobility ranking of 12 out of 18.
Your spirit animal is the wolf. It is a ferocious companion, and a loyal friend. It is both a respectable and noble creature; to have this spirit animal [...]

Long after you have swung back
away from me
I think you are still with me:
you come in close to the shore
on the tide
and nudge me awake the way
a boat adrift nudges the pier:
am I a pier
half-in half-out of the water?
and in the pleasure of that communion
I lose track,
the [...]

A few posts back I put up a list of my life’s “to do” list. Well quilting was the first item. I have subsequently purchased two books on quilting for beginners. The first one I read on the flight to Salt Lake City. It didn’t go so well. I started out all enthusiastically but with [...]

Bushy eyebrows are back in. I’m serious. Just check out this month’s Elle. Plus the lady that cut my hair last said my arches were in the wrong place so I let them grow in so I can redo them. Hence the reason why I look like a bushwoman.

We’re home from God’s country. It’s incredible, but the only brunette in the state of Utah was allowed to leave! I tell ya, whenever we make a trip to UT I am amazed at all of the tall, blonde Americans. It’s almost odd…particularly if you live around NYC…the comparison is startling.
Anyway, the trip started out with very [...]

…it has been freezing cold here for three days running now. I’ve been in a turtleneck, sweat jacket and a down vest over top. It is still cold, my nose is running all the time and it is damp. Yet I refuse to turn the heat on in August.
Can I just say how totally lovely [...]

We’re off tomorrow to go visit Khubs parents in Utah. They’re not getting around so good anymore and we’re going to visit / help them in whatever way we can. I’m looking forward to it. It is beautiful out there and since we see them so infrequently I feel like I barely know them. I’ll [...]

I have a bad habit of over analyzing and finding negatives in situations. Like today….our neighbor after two + years of saying she was going to have me over for tea, finally called and invited. It was nice of her but I feel like she only did it because she’s trying to not look like [...]

Did y’all know I’m about to become a mother to an 18 year old? Technically I have been her step mom for 2+ years but from 3,000 miles away it’s been easy peasy. I’m worried. Worried. WORRIED! As it gets closer, I get more worried.
Here’s the thing. K and I have been sooo freaking nesty [...]

It’s a modest list….I’ve just started assembling it. I have always kept a list and am happy to have checked off a bunch of items. I find if I don’t do this, I stay unfocused, years click by and I’m not sure if I really did anything I wanted to. And you know what? This is a tough exercise. [...]
