Second Guessing
Word of the Week: enchant
The tribal ritual had seemed enchanting when Bobby researched wedding ideas. Now doubts surfaced as they guided Mary to the fire’s edge. ~ 137
The brochure said, “Back to Basics a vacation you’ll never forget.” Scotty wondered if that had something to do with his expected life span. ~ 140 [Read more →]
Musical Oversharing
Our neighbors enjoy their music and they enjoy entertaining. During the winter this isn’t much of a problem as thier parties occur behind closed doors and the sound of their live band doesn’t carry across the street and through several walls. But during the summer we hear everything. [Read more →]
Disney Dreams
The summer between kindergarten and first grade my aunt and uncle invited me on a cross country trip. The idea was that because their oldest child and I were just six weeks apart in age we would entertain each other during the long drive.

I just made a half batch to start because I knew the resulting softener would fit in the empty container I had on hand. I added half a 15oz. bottle of Suave Refreshing Waterfall Mist conditioner, 1 1/2 cups of white vinegar, and 3 cups of hot water to the empty bottle, capped it and shook. Yep, that’s me flying in the face of the instructions not to shake, I have to say there weren’t really that many bubbles generated and they subsided quickly.
American Idol – Top 7 (Take 2)
This should be an interesting week with the top 7 singing a current hit and a classic soul song. I’m wondering how Jessica will respond to being the bottom vote getter last week. My preshow thoughts are that Hollie and Elise are the most at risk this week but Jessica and Joshua need to be careful because they obviously aren’t drawing big votes.
