The Original Drama Mama

One of the positive things I am discovering about joining FaceBook is that it is easier for me to keep abreast (please pause for a moment to let your inner junior high boy giggle, done? ok) of the latest from my fav sites I don’t do a daily visit to (yes, I can do that [...]

Over at the Quiet Life, Monday Muse Miz Booshay was talking about how she cries readily and regularly at movies (me too), how she cried during the first 10 minutes of UP (me too, just saw that with Miss A last weekend), and how, amongst fellow movie criers, when watching Julie&Julia, she was alone with [...]

We all have them, those songs that we should probably be too “something” for – too old, too cool, too un-cool, too non-conventional, too mainstream, too whatever..but despite it all, we still love them.

The problem is, Miss Scarlett is like that gossipy girlfriend: y’know the type:  the one you spend way [...]

Each day of this summer test drive, I am finding another thing I like about my little Sony e-reader. I am saving up most of these tidbits for my review, but here’s one I discovered last night. It’s a pretty amazing revelation…I just had to share, are you ready? Here it is:
