Bloggers Gone (Mildly) Wild

I've been lucky to have met several bloggers over the years. As lovely as all of them turned out to be, I admit that I had my doubts. What if they're really ax murderers? What if they think I'm totally uncool? What if I end up wearing a fake mustache, plaid earmuffs, and yellow yarn …

Firsts and Lasts with Pegoleg

Sometimes you meet someone on WordPress and things immediately connect in a mystical way. You simply 'get' that person in ways you can't quite explain and a strong friendship is formed.

My Adventures in Plaid, Part 1

I received the coveted The Jacket Writing Contest Award from Peg-o-leg yesterday afternoon. I was already late picking the kids up from school so I threw the box into my car and drove like a madwoman down the road (about three miles over the speed limit). I parked and examined the box.

I’m Gonna Party Like It’s One Shy of 100

Today is a monumental day for me. This is my 99th post. I have been blogging almost 2 years. So I've achieved this milestone with the same speed as molasses running uphill in the dead of winter (or as myself running uphill in the dead of winter).  I guess I should try writing more? Or running? …
