ninety nine
Coucou mes amies. Things are settling down here a bit and a sense of normalcy feels like it might be around the corner. I’m a bit drained though, but I miss you and I miss being here. Since writing an actual blog post is completely out of the question, I thought I’d answer the ninety…

MIA

My friend Jen, who really loves margaritas by the way… on the rocks, no salt, and blogs at A Little About Everything and Nothing (whom you might remember from this guest post) has passed on the Tell Me About Yourself Award. Well I don’t mind if I do Jen, thank you. This one gets passed on to five…

welcome to the jungle
++ The Husband spent Saturday with a giant weed wacker clearing a path into the garden as he whacked along. It’s nowhere near finished yet but at least we can actually see what’s what now. For example, we have a wine barrel. Why is there a wine barrel in my back garden? I have no…
