As usual, my head is in the clouds. I just can’t get enough of them. Back on Earth, a friend of the family fixed my air conditioner today. Turns out, when the dealership installed my alternator, they forgot to plug the a/c back in. Doh! I’m so glad to have it working again, and thankful […]

Zumba, homemade Mexican food, and a good, thought-provoking movie. Perfect recipe for a relaxing, “get out of your funk” kind of night. I have been reminded all day, from things that I have read or seen, that my troubles and worries are nothing compared to what some people face everyday. This movie just drove that

It cooled down a bit this evening, so Josh and I spent a little time on the deck. I swear to you, every time I tried to take a photo of an insect, they turned their back to me. They and my cats probably complain about me and my paparazzi ways. At least someone around
