Thanks for stopping by again! Why not stay connected by subscribing to my RSS feed.Seedlings in Stone had a poem play challenge this week. One of the options was to take the first line, which she provided, and craft a poem. So I’m a little rusty, but here’s what I came up with.
If memories were sparrows

I’m playing along with Musings of Housewife’s Blog Carnival and talking about what I learned this week. Why don’t you join in?
What I learned this week snuck up on me as a quiet epiphany. It wasn’t something I sought out. In fact, it came to me somewhere in between cleaning the upstairs bathroom and rearranging some overflowing kitchen cabinets: I was content.
Where [...]
Apparently, there is a shortage of sales reps in our area. How do I know this? Well, it’s a freaky thing really. You see, I don’t get out much; but when I do and when people find out that I’m an independent sales rep, I start getting offers. I’ll give you an example.
My cell phone [...]
Okay, so if my blog is a little quiet lately, it’s because I’m working on some important stuff over here, like gathering recipes for a cookbook the school is putting together for a fundraiser. Someone asked me about my contribution the other day. I told her I didn’t have any original recipes. She seemed surprised!

What’s a crumpet, you ask? No, it’s not a dance move. More on that later. First, I have a little story to tell. Back in highschool (way back), there was a group of seven or eight of us girls that hung out together. For some reason, we enjoyed talking in an old, warbly British accent. We even made up old-fashioned names for each [...]
Wow, I have had some serious writer’s block lately. I’m sure you’re getting tired of reading about my new recipe choices (although you can see pics of the new meals here), and I don’t think you want to hear about how I’m gathering info for the Tax Man, or about the bills that are piling [...]
Well, seeing as others have been taking the photo challenge first posted at PhotoJoJo, and other bloggers have followed suit; I’ve decided to try the challenge myself - a photo a day for 365 days. I’m already off to a late start, but I’m trying. I thought it best to post them on Sundays, sort [...]
Coming up next on As our Stomachs Turn: Mae flees the dinner table and runs to her boyfriend’s grandma’s house, where she knows she’ll find love in a plate of greasy fried chicken and mashed potatoes. And Kiki raids the freezer looking for the Sara Lee pie.

Earlier this week, I wrote about the [...]
On a recent Sunday morning, I came downstairs and headed for the coffee pot. Hubby had been up since the wee hours due to jetlag, so I was expecting there to be a some fresh brew already made. Instead, I see this carafe sitting on the counter; a carafe I had maybe used twice in 21 years of marriage. [...]
Fearless. That was my word for 2008. Let me explain. I am not one to make copious lists of resolutions to fulfill, because inevitably they fall by the wayside and I feel like a failure. So last year, this word popped into my head at the start of the new year. I decided to claim it [...]
