A Sunday Drive

Last Sunday I was once again headed out to bring KT to work at the aquarium at the Crack O’ Dawn.   On a whim, I gritted my teeth, tossed her the keys and told her that she could drive us into Seattle.  Despite my qualms, I figured it was a pretty safe bet.  Traffic would [...]

Once Upon A Fridge

Once upon a time the royal family a normal refrigerator.  It was filled with typical American cuisine ingredients.  Lots of milk, chicken, hamburger, bacon, eggs, cheese and lunch meat…and maybe a few veggies thrown in for looks.

Eight More Random Things

As Mike and M have both tagged me for this meme, I guess I should actually do it.  (Haven’t I told you enough weird things about me yet?)
So, with no further ado, and in no particular order…

Particularly things like: where you first met, how long you’ve been friends and why you think you are best friends” Then he adds the stipulation that we can’t wimp out and say our spouse is our best friend.  (WHY can’t I use him [...]

Done.

How on earth did I get so emotionaly attached to the characters in the book?  They aren’t real, yet there I was bawling like a baby.  (although not nearly as bad as KT was!)
That’s all I’m saying.  I don’t want to spoil anything for anyone.
