I have a million Valentine stories. I believe what Mama used to tell me: If you get too big for your britches, someone will take you down a notch or two. Yes, she really talks like that. Usually what takes me down a notch is Fate or karma or the Force or the universe at large. I'd think to myself. I acted like it didn't mean a thing to me, but I felt good inside my bubble of superiority. I might have to put up with these dumb farm kids referring to my birthplace as HY-why-ya. Goes to show you. With glitt...

I want to show you a card I made for my Twitter friend Dreena's color (or colour,. As she writes it) challenge called Curry Chicken. Go over to Prairie Papercrafts and Stamps. If you'd like to read Dreena's challenge post. All she really asks is that designers use Real Red, Night of Navy, Crushed Curry, and Whisper White. These vibrant colors from Stampin' Up! I kept with Dreena's nautical suggestion- at least in spirit- and gave it my own Victorian turn, as always. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Enter your...

All good things must end. I hate to give you another of my lazy posts full of photos, but I am dog tired and can't think of all the amusing things I've been storing up to tell you. Tomorrow I'll be back to normal (as far as I know). All the treats and lovin' just wore my girl Pixie out. Most of my first cousins showed up for the festivities. (Hey, where were Davey and Becky and Eric? Except for the weather (hot hot hot), things went off without a hitch. Aren't we a motley crew? I stayed an extra day, so ...

sugarcain: Bête de Jour: The intimate adventures of an ugly man
http://sweetsandtarts.blogspot.com/2009/06/bete-du-jour-intimate-adventures-of.html
Bête de Jour: The intimate adventures of an ugly man. Harper Collins, June 2009. This is the first book I’ve read that began as a blog. I was already enchanted with the blog when I learned about the book, but, being a book-lover, I wanted to see how the stories would hang together as a book. No worries there. I must not forget to point out that this book is subtitled “intimate adventures,” and I’m sure it’s not for everyone, because not everyone enjoys reading the intimate sexual ...The author offers us ...

sugarcain: The Twilight Zone
http://sweetsandtarts.blogspot.com/2010/01/twilight-zone.html
I don't stay up to watch the ball drop anymore on new years eve. Instead I watch hour after hour of The Twilight Zone on Syfy, supplemented by Wikipedia's list of episodes. Too bad that real life is not more like The Twilight Zone, where the good are rewarded and the bad are punished in ironic ways. PS My favorite episode is the one in which Old Man Simpson is saved from the fires of hell by his love for his old woman Rachel and his coon hound Rip. January 3, 2010 at 2:00 AM.

I have hit a bad patch and don't feel much like waxing poetic. Today my friend Cecile, who is from France, called it a dark series. That is exactly what I'm going through: a dark series. It sounds like a fantasy trilogy, and it feels a little like that too. Ian Aspen's Really Good Thinking. So I have some work to do on myself. Big surprise. Thanks, Ian, for the well-considered post you shared today. I'm sure I'm not the only one you've challenged. I'm grateful for how you made me think. Irene's instructi...
