So the world is supposed to be ending today huh? That's bad.

I never found out who let the dogs out, the way to get to Sesame Street, why Dora doesn't just use Google maps, why we don't ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery", why women can't put on mascara with their mouth closed, why "abbreviated" is such a long word, why lemon juice is made with artificial flavor yet dish-washing liquid is made with real lemons, why they sterilize the needle for lethal injections, why do you have to "put your two cents in" but it's only a "penny for your thoughts"? Where's that extra penny going to? Why did Joanie love Chachi? If a deaf person has to go to court is it still called a hearing? Can a hearse carrying a corpse drive in the carpool lane? Does the alphabet song and twinkle twinkle little star have the same tune? Why did you just try to sing those two previous songs? And just what is Victoria's secret?

You see, the world just has to keep going. I have too many questions...

White is just right!

What is December without a little (or a lot) of the white stuff?? We're dreaming and scheming of a white Christmas and inviting you to our "White Christmas" 20% off everything white sale! This Friday and Saturday 12/7 & 12/8 take 20% off all that is white!

Mystery Mister, let me count the ways

Quick trip to San Fran and a dash to Haight Ashbury on the side, and holy fezs and feathers I'm in love AND lust!  I might have to sneak a fez and a creep a liscious doll when the warden isn't looking.

Dear new abode paris flea market

I love you.  There, I said it.  I thought I loved you before your extreme makeover but I realize this new love is a mature love, a grown up love, yep, I'm just that shallow.

The old abode was bright and obvious, while you, my darling are subtle, smoky and lingering like an early autumn bonfire

Whenever I see you I want to stay 

you comfort me
