Gimme the Sweet Stuff
Wherein I could not, would not make a choice and it would take you and a slew of Dr. Seuss characters to make me.
Cake and, yes, Pie.JPG
I love desserts. I come from a family of dessert lovers. Nana’s coconut cake and fruit salad, Aunt Dorothy’s pineapple upsidedown cake, and Mama’s pumpkin pie were staples of family get togethers and holidays.

Moore or Less?
Wherein I discuss how Nathaniel Hawthorne rolls over in his grave every time someone watches The Scarlett Letter with Demi Moore and Gary Oldman.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
The first movie I ever saw that was adapted from a book was the 1995 adaptation of The Scarlet Letter starring Demi Moore and Gary Oldman. I left the movie theatre completely disgusted—and not just because...
Waves
A short little post on the sound of waves.
Best summertime sound? Waves. Before our vacation this summer, I thought there was no way that the sound of a lake could possibly be as soothing as the ocean. I was wrong. Very, very wrong.
We spent a week on Cross Lake in Cato, NY. Just listening to the waves lap up on the shore and hit the docks was enough to make me want to move there...
Zumba: It's Air Conditioned
Wherein I discuss my love of zumba.
Zumba crowd
I live in the South. We have about 6 weeks a year when it is actually bearable to be outdoors. It’s either ridiculously hot or just plain cold. Humidity is a horrible thing in the summer as well as the winter.
About a year ago, the woman who owns the dance studio in our little hamlet started a zumba class. I had...

Choosing the right luggage for you trip is an important thing. You could rely on considerations such practical considerations as size and whether you can carry it by yourself. That, or you could just go for something totally...

Confused by the Seasons? Buy these shoes! →
Is it a boot? A pump? A peep toe? I don’t know, but I’ll tell you this. It’s either cool enough for boots or hot enough for a peep toe. In the South, it ain’t ever both at the same time, and if I ever see you wearing these ugly ass shoes in the Dirty Dirty, I’ll rip one off your foot and beat you with it.

Electricity
Just when I get up to clean house, the power goes out. It usually comes right back on, but it’s been out for at least a half hour now. What gives, Monday?
