I guess we are still battling those mites around here. Mister Cat and I haven't been tasty to them lately because of the brewer's yeast tablets that we've been taking so now they have gone and found the hubby. My unfortunate sweetie woke up this morning with a bunch of bites-- and I thought they... Sign in to see full entry.

Here's a question for you...
If English was not your language of origin but you were growing up in an English speaking country and wanted to improve your writing skills, would you: 1. Want to learn all the rules of grammar or, 2. Want to practice correct writing skills without actually knowing the rules? Thanks for your... Sign in to see full entry.

Making a difference
I just talked with my 'drama queen' sister and she sounded a lot better. Last weekend when we met with her and her new 'drama king' BF, my wise hubbby got into 'serious' mode pretty quickly and talked with them about 'running their own lives.' He basically said that if they had this kind of drama in... Sign in to see full entry.
If any of you are bugged...
A bug update for you-- a few weeks ago I was getting chewed up by some bugs we couldn't see. We finally figured they were mites from either the swallows' nests attached to the house (once the swallows leave, the mites come in), or, mites from house mice. I vacuumed, washed everything, used a lot of... Sign in to see full entry.

What turns me into a screaming maniac...
We have some new neighbors and boy, are they noisy! We live in a country-like atmosphere so noisy neighbors are especially unwelcome because we've been used to the quiet. This family moved in next door a few months ago and they're totally obnoxious and inconsiderate. They have this huge horn-like... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm going to be the only blonde in the room- guaranteed!
Well, my fellow bloggers, my life has taken another interesting twist and turn. As it turns out, the market for blogging consultants is not very hot. Corporations are getting their in-house marketing or PR team to set up their blogs, so my efforts in the area of blogging consulting have not been... Sign in to see full entry.

Sometimes you just need a laugh...
I received this from my mom today- she always sends me good stuff. I think I have barely survived the weekend 'drama queen' (sister) visit, although not without a few scars. I'll take laughs from any corner... Sign in to see full entry.
One more week of this hot humid weather!
Yesterday I heard that we are going to have at least one more week of this hot humid weather! Yipes. Today I've decided to take more cool showers (they really help) and to be thankful that we don't have bombs dropping on our city, tsunamis hitting our shores or volcanoes erupting nearby! Stay cool,... Sign in to see full entry.

An expletive heard around the world...
Whenever I hear someone apologizing for using 'expletives' (isn't that a great word?!) I always say, "That's OK, I use those words too." Well, you may have heard that Pres. Bush was caught on open microphone using the 's...' word. ( Story Here ) I bet he uses the 'f...' word too, and probably 'damn'... Sign in to see full entry.

Such a nice ride today!
God, it was good to get out on the Dragon today! Because of the heat, I haven't been out on her for about a week and I was worried that I had gotten rusty. Noooo- I hadn't, and I was reminded anew about what a beautiful, powerful wonderful bike she is! We rode toward the coast and the sea breezes... Sign in to see full entry.
