Posted on June 30, 2011 by This Woman Writes

To be sure I wasn’t hallucinating, I drove around the block and double checked, as did Tired of Being Youngest at my side.

Posted on June 9, 2011 by This Woman Writes

Bruce Willis Knitting

Posted on May 12, 2011 by This Woman Writes

I confess:  I engage in reckless behavior. Sometimes I salt my food before I taste it. I set the cruise control for two miles over the speed limit. If the headache’s bad enough, I’ll take two aspirin instead of one. … Continue reading →

An Alarming Faceoff in the Bedroom

Posted on May 4, 2011 by This Woman Writes

Ah, but Norwegian Artists are a determined race, and the offending item was banished to the far Netherlands of my nightstand, and that only with my avowed promise to use my body as a shield against the Aurora Borealis in numerical form. Continue reading →

The Uncommon Cold

Posted on March 16, 2011 by This Woman Writes
