MUCH ADO ABOUT A MUTE SWAN: Part 3 “Breaking and Entering Into My Honda Mini-Van Is Where I Draw the Line!!!” So, you’re probably wanting to know if I ended up allowing Princess to move into the guest bedroom. The answer would be an affirmative ‘No’. You see, Princess, as beautiful as she is, was…
Who Took the Gloves Off???!! Reminiscing on How This Fashion ‘Must’ Became Passe It used to be that one of the very core items a lady possessed was a pair of white gloves. A lady could be seen wearing her white gloves at all times, except when she was eating at a prominent citizen’s house….

Yes it’s true. I kind of hate winter, What? It’s not like I hate Christmas, or the snow (much) or the jolly laughter of little children playing in the snow, I just hate freezing. Actually, I hate the cold waging it’s yearly war on my sexy skin, by drying it out and thus causing flaking…
