Detours & Diversions

  • Swooning in FoodLand

    It’s May 28th…the end of the month. And you know what that means, right? I made dessert to match my blog. Nice, huh? Sort of glows? I’m in Foodland, and we’re all woozy on Opera cake right now. I haven’t… Continue reading

  • Blog Wraps & Ballsy Mothers

    Clearly, my blog is having an identity crisis. A few days ago, my aunt who lives in New York emailed and said my blog wasn’t loading. Outside of that sounding like some strange kind of medical condition, I cringed knowing… Continue reading

  • Gullibility and a Strong Core

    In case you were wondering, I’m alive. I did go out on a couple of early morning walks this week, smartly attired in my plaid flannel pajama bottoms and a sweatshirt. By the time Thursday rolled around, though, I was… Continue reading

    Have you ever heard of TED? It’s a place I’d love to be a fly on the wall — especially this year considering they’ll be addressing “Big Questions.” But the $6,000 price tag is a bit steep. If you’ve never… Continue reading

  • Is Monday over yet?

    I’m at a loss for words today. What that really means is I don’t feel like making the effort to write. Tired, I guess. I spent the weekend — yes, the entire weekend — engaged in my once monthly baking… Continue reading

  • Friday, Rain in Paradise, and Awards…What could be more perfect?

    I’m sitting here just like I so often used to each day, wondering where I should begin. No, not with my writing. That’s rarely an issue because I can just sit down and write most anything I feel like writing.… Continue reading
