The Proposal

“Just one bite, c’mon!” I wave the ambrosial cupcake toward you, knowing you can’t not get a whiff of the peanut butter frosting.  “I don’t want it.” “Come on.” I know I’m nagging, but I’m also doing you a favor. You take a bite, probably just to shut me up.  “Yummy?”  “Very. Do you want

Childhood Daydream

A five-year old girl Spinning around in a chiffon dress Waving her wand up and down Grants wishes to the ants and butterflies Falls down, dizzy with emotion   She stares at the black heavens above A fishbowl of swimming stars Finding constellations Indian warriors and goddesses She connects the dots on Orion’s belt And makes a

Some Say Love…

Let’s Get Personal

Hm, at first I didn’t intend to make this blog personal at all…I’ve never blogged before and figured it would just be a place to write about girly things (chocolate, Hello Kitty, Taylor Swift lyrics, etc) and books. However, I enjoy reading others’ personal posts the most…Nice to see that there is a community of

Top 20 Chick Flicks

What better way to unwind after a long day than a chick flick and some ice cream (or cookies)?
