Earl Grey’s new trick
| December 7, 2014 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
The Wednesday before Thanksgiving, Earl Grey learned a new trick. I am not amused. My husband is not amused. If Farley cared one itty bitty iota about my sanity, she would be un-amused. (I can’t imagine ML being un-amused about anything so she doesn’t get to join this party). Apparently, not content with making me […] more
Nov 14 IRL
| December 6, 2014 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
As you will see, November behaved itself all the way up until the midpoint. And then things generally went insane (again). This happened, followed by this, and of course this. And…let’s not forget that wee little test I took yesterday? There’s no doubt about it, this month has been challenging (who am I kidding, the whole year […] more
Nov Link Luv
| December 4, 2014 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
The list for Nov is admittedly short, having been distracted by Early Grey’s new trick (a subject of a future blog post), receptions, tests, deaths and a multitude of other happenings that have me emerging from November a bit battered but whole nevertheless.

Happy Partner’s Day Farley! You are the best pony a girl could ever wish for. Last year I wrote a rather good (if I do say so myself) tribute to Farley and what she’s meant to me over all these years, so if you are into words just go re-read what I wrote last year. […] more
That’s just a little deceptive

Here’s the deal. You don’t get to call your product “Safe Choice”, and advertise on the label that it is “controlled carb”…… …And then have cane molasses be one of the top ten ingredients. I was so confused by this apparent dichotomy that I actually spent time on the site, trying to figure out what […] more
Once upon a time
| November 20, 2014 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Once upon a time there was a girl. The girl was the optimistic sort who really believed in certain life hacks that allowed her to accomplish a great many things that were important to her during the day, regardless of other commitments. And she was really successful! Except for one time. You see, this girl […] more
