I Just Had to Share This – HAPPY HUMP DAY!!!!!!!
I found this as I was looking for something entirely different online…I’m not sure who to thank for it – but it sure made me laugh outloud and I wanted to share! “A Doctor was addressing a large audience in Tampa . ‘The material we put into our stomachs is enough to have killed … Continue reading
Butt-Dancing, Pole-Dancing, Disco Dancing – It’s All Good
Zbyszek turned into a lovely, snow-covered tree. That’s what my friends told me that New Year’s Eve night many, many moons ago in Poland. He had been madly in love with my friend Grazyna – who, it turned out, was madly in love with someone else. And apparently, she told him so that night. In his despair – … Continue reading
My Happy Ending in Herkimer, NY (wink, wink)
For approximately the last six months, I have tried to live and breathe just about every moment of my spare time studying and working with gemstones – that’s pretty much the reason for the sad crickets on this, my beloved blog. My hands-down favorite art medium to work with is words, and I have been … Continue reading
“Mommy, You’re 60 Pounds and 8 Minutes!”
Sometimes too much information, to the wrong person, at the wrong time – can be a bit, well, comical – depending on how much ibuprofen you have on hand. My youngest will be turning 4 soon. Of course in her mind she’s 14, and on an intellectual level with my oldest. So when Daughter #2, … Continue reading
Pssst!! Check This Out….
The girls are all still sleeping and I am putting the final touches on my first post of 2013 as well launching my newest site Victoria’s Tajemnica. We are SLOWLY getting ourselves back into the swing of the move, and to keep ourselves (ok, ME!) focused, I decided to challenge myself to taking a picture … Continue reading
5 Girls, 2 Gerbils, a New Puppy and Lots of Junk Food – Yep, We’re Ready For Frankenstorm
And I was slightly hesitant to move down south because of THEIR storms! The girls and I are hunkering down, waiting for “Frankenstorm” to shake things up a bit around here. Mostly they we are eyeballing all the junk food and arts and crafts supplies I bought to make things a little fun, since there … Continue reading
Diamonds, Champagne and the Most Awesome Hot Tub Experience I Have Ever Had…
I love to bang. On dolomite. The rhythmic pounding on rock with rock hammers and chisels, in hopes of having water-clear, double terminated Herkimer Diamonds come spilling out onto the grey dust gives me just an incredible rush. Actually, they more like come flying out – looking perfectly faceted. Seeing the glittery rainbow sparkle peek … Continue reading
“Welcome to Mommy’s Bloody Mary.”
Holy. Moley. Canoli. Another fantastic summer has slipped through my fingers – no matter how hard I tried to hold onto it. Delicious memories sprinkled heavily with fabulous foods and drinks and most of all, laughter. LOTS of laughter. Now, as the hot sunshine begins it’s sexy romance with the harbingers of winter, my house is … Continue reading
I’ve Got 8 Bottles of Frisky-Hued Nail Polish, So What the Heck Am I Still Doing in NY?
I’ve been dragging my feet lately regarding our move to either the Cape or Myrtle Beach. And the reason is the weather. Putting aside the slight drought, it’s been gorgeous just about every single day. Closing your eyes and sipping a cool drink is a lot easier than poring over thousands of houses. Dreaming of … Continue reading
“Mom…I Have Issues Eating Food That Looks the Same Coming Out as it Does Going In!”
My father’s darkroom. Back when he was alive, I would spend countless hours sitting down there with him. The soft red couch he had is still there and feels familiar to my skin as I tuck my legs under myself and close my eyes. This room is where I go to do serious thinking – … Continue reading
