But I mean, well, GOD! Look at that, would you? We had that for our Christmas dinner and everybody FELL ON THE FLOOR DEAD, it was that good. And the gravy? That was supposed to be au jus but I thickened it? Was the BEST DAMNED GRAVY I have EVER made. I would totally take [...]

Chamomile

It’s 2:30 in the ay-em, and I’ve been awake since 1:15. I don’t think anyone ever greets bouts of insomnia with enthusiasm. So, dammit. I’ve suffered with insomnia off and on for my entire life. I distinctly recall weekends spent at my aunt and uncle’s home – they lived the next town over and took [...]
We’re Extremely Fortunate

“We’re Extremely Fortunate” We’re extremely fortunate not to know precisely the kind of world we live in. One would have to live a long, long time, unquestionably longer than the world itself. Get to know other worlds, if only for comparison. Rise above the flesh, which only really knows how to obstruct and make trouble. [...]
Bad. Kitty.

I finished wrapping presents last night. I’d been storing them in the workout room until they were wrapped, and probably would have left them in there until Christmas had I not been claimed by an unanticipated and unwelcome motivation to exercise.

I was tagged, dadnabbit. 1. Just who the hell do you think you are? No really. These days? No idea. Not as much “me” as I’d like to be, that’s for sure. 2. Who is your favorite person you have met via blogging/internet (besides me, obviously). Well, there’s Marie who had BETTER be available for [...]

I’m off work this week (AcronymCo, that is), which of course means I have a honey-do list (self-imposed, that is) a mile long. The very first order of business, though, is to venture forth and purchase a new coffee pot. I broke the carafe last night while getting the coffee ready for the morning, and [...]
Let’s Review: A Pictorial, Circa 2010
Posted: 17th December 2010 by Tiffany in Memory Lane, photography, Your Opinion MattersTags: hopes for 2011, year in pictures
Here’s the one from 2009, and here’s the one from 2008. And I just realized that for BOTH years I spelled it “pictoral” instead of “pictorial”. WHATEVER. I’m whimsical, okay? This, by far, is NOT a full and all-inclusive list of everything that went down in this busy, BUSY year. It’s just a few selections [...]

Do you think that happiness is a choice? Ponder, comment, discuss.
I’m terminating my Waking Mind site, so I’m just transferring the handful of entries to this post for posterity.
