It’s Almost Time
Every year on my birthday in March I make a resolution to myself. Last year I decided to take a social media fast for a year. I’ll tell you about that later. For this year I’m considering only reading books from our home library. That would mean an entire year of not buying new books,…

Cookbooks are Cool
I love to collect cookbooks. Especially pretty fabric covered ones. The thing is cookbooks I love, actually cooking I do not. Baking I enjoy and I am fairly good at it. I’m a good cook too but I just don’t enjoy it. Today’s thought, do what you enjoy even if it doesn’t make sense to…

Is this Weird? : Facebook
I was looking at Facebook (the greatest time suck ever invented) I was scrolling through the ribbon of people in the “People you may know” section when I realized I do not know about 95% of the smiling faces. I was saying, “I don’t know you, I don’t know you, I don’t know you, cute hair, oh…
