That’s Not Something…

I know I already told this story in the last post, but here it is in run-on-sentence form: That moment when you are so excited that your song finally got released that you decide to have dessert after your delicious meal at Asian 1 only to discover that the “mango ice cream & sweet sticky […]

Celebrated the release of my latest song (“Redeemed”) today by going out to dinner at Asian 1 with the husband. It doesn’t take much to make me happy. What didn’t make me so happy was my dessert pursuit. 😂 First, they didn’t have dairy-free sticky rice. So, I tried to get Ken to go to […]

I went to check my dahlias a few weeks ago—the ones I’m trying to overwinter in the garage—and they’re all dead. (These are the tubers from my mom. I’ve talked about them before.) I have a sneaking suspicion that she is looking down from heaven saying, “I told you you wouldn’t be able to keep […]

I just fell asleep working on some lyrics to a new song. Either they are super boring, or my brain shorted out from thinking too hard over the past hour.  

I don’t know… I think my chorus might need some work.

Yesterday, a friend took me out for some birthday shenanigans. We ended up at WinCo. I stood in front of the marshmallows for about ten seconds and then I high-tailed it out of the aisle, because, well…I have a bit of a problem with self-control.

Remember that puzzle Ken and I did last year? The one with the missing piece? I’m sure my mom is still having a good laugh up in heaven about that. Here’s another one I inherited from her that we just finished. Well, except for that one piece, of course. I can just see her going […]
