Not for men

HHOK, can I talk frankly for one second. Not like that doesn't happen on a frequent basis, but at this time I feel a great need to comment on some absurdity in the universe. I literally mean "universe" and you'll understand why in a moment.

has anyone seen this yet??!!

Clearblue Easy is a well known brand, and for many of us not a tool we need just yet. They have sold their product with the guarantee of reliability for years with some semblence of discretion and decency; But a stream of pee shooting through outer space (OUTER SPACE), dubbed by the "voice guy" (who does every movie ad in THE WORLD), is a little much! Though I am somehow intrigued by this ad. It's short, it's simple, it captures your attention, and it gets to the point. Peeing on a stick!! How much more straight forward can they get. I am still shocked by the stream of pee every time I happen to pass it while channel surfing. Wow. i mean, come on people! Is this really how far we've come? I enjoy my television programming just as much as the next person, but i think this is really beyond taste. What do you think? Thank goodness it seems to be restricted to Oxygen and We. Let's hope it stays there.


**please note a heaping hint of sarcasm when you read this. do i need to add some 'hehes' or smiley faces? that is all.

Photo's from "break"

we registered at Target. Mike got to "play" with the scanner and give me "brain cancer" whenever I was being ridiculous or over-excited about kitchen gadgets.

THIS is what happened to my poor little SUV after four days in Erie...boo dirt roads, snow, and rain. Reason #524 why I hate PA.


this FANTASTIC group you see before you spent the New Year at my house. It was a great New Year. Mike met my friends and they loved him. Perfection.



the insanity began right after this shot...



i think my picture speaks for itself...i am most proud of the fruit. you thought i would say shuttle cock, didn't you?

e.e. cummings






i carry your heart with me
(i carry it in my heart)
i am never without it
(anywhere i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling)
i fear no fate
(for you are my fate, my sweet)
i want no world
(for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart
(i carry it in my heart)
