Last night, I had a dream.
I dreamed I was still living in my parents’ home (horrors!) and that I desperately needed a place to live that was not too expensive. As luck would have it, I heard of a community that was apparantly located near Columbus Circle that boasted vast, beautiful, fully furnished apartments. For cheap!

Loser! Draw Four! Continue reading
When are you the most alert, the most productive, feel like you can take on the world? Do you wake up bright-eyed and bushy tailed, or do you require a slow build-up to peak efficiency? Today’s QOTD:
The phone rings: it’s the love of your life, the president of your PTA, your Mother. It’s someone with a free pass to make a small imposition and announce themselves or guests on short notice.
If you’re like me, all the laundry is clean and very neatly laid out over the love seat in the living room. All 42 loads. The camping gear is in the kitchen in some stage of being cleaned for the next trip. The stack of catalogs and mail in the entryway has been knocked over and haphazardly restacked yet again. Today’s QOTD:
Brussels sprouts, spinach salad, tomato pie, aubergine parmesan…mmm. I do love my veggies; the deeper the color, the better. Today’s QOTD:
