Not perfect … not even close

But then, I never claimed to be … I do strive to be a good person.  And I’m a tough-love kind of mom.  With all of my years in the ER – witnessing trauma, tragedy and poor-choice outcomes – how can I not be?  I parent this way because I have my kids’ best FUTURE …

Adele + Chinese Food = Good Medicine

Have spent the past week slowly trying to work through a huge family mess (BTW – have I cursed the Evil Biologic recently?  Yes? … Okay, well, here’s another  – %@#^*!!!) … Thus, not much going on in the studio.  Had it not been for a glass order, I may have avoided it all week.  (And …

Speed Bump = Clean Studio + Adele

So a fairly substantial life ‘speed-bump’ has altered my previous MINE-MINE-MINE studio plans … Damn Evil-Biologic and her inability to act like a responsible adult anyway …  So – feeling less than creative, I’ve spent time cleaning the studio and rockin’ with Adele (with a few of the Neo’s howling in the background to join …

BEHAVE … WTH???

So, the night ended on an upbeat note … Even though I was tag-team REPRIMANDED by my spouse AND my accountant!  I’m SUPPOSED to watch my spending next year … Um, Yeah – OKAY … Says these two DAY WALKERS.  When I casually pointed out, “It [my interest in new hobbies – thus spending money] …

The unsung hero … (AKA WWU)

No – it’s not me, if I were the hero – I would be quite vocal about it!  The true hero is the octogenarian (AKA Little Old Man) ON blood thinners  WITH A NOSE BLEED (read: it will never stop):  He’s so stoic and brave, as his frail wife sits quietly in the corner of …

Uncle!! …

We’re making slow but steady progress.  The problem (outside of the fact that neither one of us wants to be doing this) is that our appointment is just a few days away … While I enjoy all of the small businesses DH and I ‘run’ – I’m not loving this task!!  Time to buckle down …

I’m in love …

With my husband (of course).  BUT – if DH were to dissolve our marriage tomorrow, I would throw myself at save myself for … Manu Bennett.  The problem (besides the fact that he doesn’t know me) is that he’s in New Zealand and I’m here … But, I happen to know someone (who knows someone) …

He’s a little bit country, a little bit Fred Sanford …

But, I’ll keep him.  This is the view as I pull up my driveway right now … Umm, ok.  Doesn’t everyone have a hot tub in their FRONT YARD?  No … only SPECIAL  people???  Like ME!?!  The really cool news is DH got it running.  He fixed seized motors, got the pumps operating and all …

She’s a bird-whisperer too …

Oh yea … I am totally the Dian Fossey/Sigourney Weaver of birds (limited only because there are no actual gorillas around here – just human impersonators).  Let me ‘splain …  Yesterday, while minding my own business in the studio, an attacker struck (- just how he made entrance into the studio is still a mystery) …

Big tease, microcephalic … and faith!

As I sit in the office, nursing a cup of coffee – trying to wake up and tap into my smiling, happy, civil side (come on caffeine!) … DH is giving me a run down on the weather predictions for the next 7 days.  Michigan and I have a love/hate relationship this time of year …
