MissMeliss: Escribition

I’ve had a few comments recently from people I don’t actually “know,” – people who aren’t RL friends or long-time net friends, or bloggers I’ve been reading for ages, and I have to say that each of these comments has been a wonderful gift.
A trackback ping from Liz led me to her blog, and [...]

::Goodie Two Shoes::
Onesome: Goodie– What is your your favorite “goodie” you treat yourself to when you’ve finished a project or maybe even just survived a long day? Ice cream? …a long bath? …a good book?
Books aren’t a goodie, they’re a requirement. New pens, I guess, or new music.
Twosome: Two– Quick! Two things that make you [...]

The problem with caring about a cause, an issue, a concept, is that at some point your caring, your committment, are bound to be tested.
I knew, when I joined Curves, that the owner of the parent company was a fundamentalist Christian. I read on the CurvesForum, the night before my first session, that there are [...]

I’ve recently become enamoured with the combination of unsweetened iced tea mixed with cranberry juice and lime. It’s like…Snapple for grownups.

I’d planned to cook a roast tonight, but it was still rock solid when I got home, so we went with plan b – pasta primavera. I forgot to add the salt and pepper, but other than that it was good. Asparagus, mushrooms, zucchini, onions, garlic, cherry tomatoes, a little cream, a little cheese, and [...]

Sleep
1. Side of the bed: Left or Right?
Slightly left of center. Fuzzy jokes that I allow him only 1/8th of the bed. I respond that he gets 7/8 of the covers.
2. Sleep with or without covers?
I like covers, I like the weight of them. If there were a way, in summer, to have the weight [...]

It’s hot, unseasonably so, and I can’t resist looking at weather.com to see what it is in Denver. This afternoon, when Jeremy and I looked, it was 62, and I commented that such a temperature was at least appropriate for April. Last week was cool and rainy and refreshing, and after only two days of [...]

The new Strawberries & Cream frappacinos at $tarbuck$ are quite tasty, lighter and frothier than an actual strawberry milkshake, with more strawberry flavor.
But if you order it with a pump of mocha, it tastes just like Neapolitan ice cream.
Yay summery beverages!

Fuzzy and I have developed the routine of spending Saturday evenings curled up on the couch watching bad movies on the SciFi channel. I call them modern b movies, because, really, that’s what they are. And since they’re on cable, and we’re not paying for tickets or rental fees, we don’t even have to feel [...]
