Farmhouse Table
Is it possible to love something inanimate? Like a table? Let me explain. There is this show I was obsessed with a while back, it was called "Parenthood." (This will have a bit of a spoiler). Each episode begins with the whole family around a big table in the back yard. Grandparents, parents, kids, grandkids. … Continue reading Farmhouse Table
Top Ten
I generally ignore Top Ten lists that float around Facebook, but when I saw the Top Ten Albums list, everyone sharing an Album a day that influenced them, I *secretly* wanted to be nominated. Just when I thought I never would, someone did! The only problem were the "rules." "10 albums which have greatly influenced … Continue reading Top Ten

It needed nothing which is a big deal in our rainy little town where nature likes to take over. Anyway, Scott was skeptical, and maybe thought I … Continue reading Wallpaper Update and Create

The gist was, what five minute section of a classical song would you play for someone to make them … Continue reading Music Makes Me…
Worse Than Karaoke
Last night I did the scariest thing in the world. I told a story at a "Story Slam!" It was really full and the lights were really bright and my legs were shaking really bad. It was really crazy! The theme was, "Where there is smoke there is fire." I didn't even know the theme … Continue reading Worse Than Karaoke
