It has to be red!

Some days a bit of window shopping gives results. I have wanted a new purse for a while. Not because my current one is bad, but simply because I wanted something a tad smaller, a bit classier – and not black. Like red. As I browsed the handbag and luggage store, I eavesdropped on the […]

Most of my writing lately

…has been in the comments sections on other people’s blogs.

Blogging and Apple

No sooner had I rattled on about not blogging, when I discovered a very good use for it: The LaCie disk I use for backups stopped working. I was trying to remember when and where I had purchased it, and searched through my electronic bank account files. Nothing there. I hunted on my hard drive […]

MIA

I’m probably as baffled as you are, my dear reader, at the lack of activity on my blog. It’s not that nothing’s happening in my life. I got a lovely raise at work (broke through a personal glass ceiling doing so), am back to full time (no more one-Wednesday-a-month off), health is good (after a […]
