Freak Parade

My kids have joined forces in chipping away at any glimmer of hope I may have that my new exercise and healthy eating program is having any effect. Aside from what The Boy said the other day, The Girl has added her own little knife jab in my (apparently, still flabby) side. While rummaging […]

I’m going to post some pictures instead of actually writing something. What? What did you think I meant? Sheesh. During my hiatus, The Girl had a birthday. She is four, going on fourteen.
The Girl and two friends painted at a ceramics place and then went to the salon for hair and nail beautification…

So I was in the right place at the right time, and was the first to take Kelly, from Diary of the Nello, up on the offer to be interviewed. She wanted to ask someone some questions….I like talking about myself….so here we are. Thanks, Kelly. It was fun.
