sugar and spice and everything groovy
From the monthly archives:
Discovered the most delicious item at HMart on Saturday. It’s called Coconut Jam. It reminds me of the creamed Chestnut spread my parents brought back from Italy: Hero Fruttissima Crema di Marroni alla Vanillina. Another comparison could be Dulce de Leche. Oh my gosh it is so yummy and for [...]

Yesterday, Robert took me to the racetrack and we bet on the ponies! My very first race netted me 2.50! Not bad! It was fun except for the large amount of smoke permeating the building. I would definitely go back but only if the weather is warmer and we can stay outside. [...]

Ricky Nelson covered Smokie’s Lay Back in the Arms of Someone!
This might be sacrilegious to say, but I prefer Chris Norman’s version. I also found versions by Juice Newton and Savoy Brown. Oddly enough, according to Wikipedia, the lead singer of Savoy Brown also sports a slightly longer Emo page boy like Chris [...]

Now that spring is here and the ground is thawing, my father installed Cocoa’s grave stone. Doesn’t it look nice?
What you don’t see is that on either side is Little Lily’s stone and Kiwi’s stone (Kiwi died before I started blogging so no link to her).

If I find out who keeps recording me in my house and posting it to YouTube – I will break your legs.

I am sitting outside on my uneven, grass-riddled patio and feeling quite wonderful. It’s about time the weather got nice. As much as I am enjoying this, I am also very aware that soon the bugs will be out en masse and the weather will get too warm and muggy. Everything is [...]

1. Bath soap (liquid and bar)
2. Razors
3. Deodorant
4. Ant traps
5. Weed spray*
OR I have another idea. Tell me what you think. My back patio is in pretty bad shape. The bricks have spread apart and the area is not in any way level. Grass and weeds [...]

C’mon, Donna. You can do it. Put in load of laundry– it’s only going to benefit you! Instead of having to wear those darn thong underwear that are in the bottom of your underwear drawer, you can wear the kind you like… if you just get them washed! And if you [...]
