Winter Wonderland

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas… Still can’t find the vacuum bags. Is it me, or are a lot of my blogs about me looking for things I can’t find? It’s probably just my imagination. Anyway, I think I like the snow look. It makes it seem cooler in here. As we’re still […]

Agua Blues

For you gringos out there, agua is water in Spanish. Agua caliente is hot water. Which I have. The water is back on. I still have to use pliers to get it, though. The landlord came, with the plumber. They got the “faucet” turned off. They turned the water back on. They told us to

Showers Are for Wimps?

Then call me a weenie. I think I mentioned my shower wasn’t working. We went from bathing at a friend’s, to using a hose from the kitchen sink (ever want to have fun? Run a hose fifteen feet, in a house with a four-year-old, and see what happens! You won’t believe the possibilities!) to using

Blasted Thing!

All of a sudden my Dell is slower than molasses in January, and it doesn’t want to do anything. Hubby swears he didn’t download or install anything, and the munchkin hasn’t been near it. Guess I have to take a night off from writing to do some cleaning. Grr. Argh. I return. That could have

What Else Would a Writer Give?

My writer-friend surprised me today, when she told me what she wanted for Christmas. First, we’ve never really exchanged presents, in like, eight years (ten years? could be) of meeting every other week for dinner and writing talk. Sometimes she made me a loaf of bread in her breadmaker, or I’d give her something, like
