I saw an ad for free plants this morning, so I hurried, groomed and Googled, even leaving with my hair wet. I was so excited for free plants! Particularly since one of them was 7-8 feet tall, and I have … Continue reading →

G is for Geraniums

Posted on April 8, 2014 by joey

I have a love-hate relationship with geraniums. Geraniums are unequivocally bright and cheerful. They’re easy to grow from seed, but cheap when they’re already blooming.

Posted on April 3, 2014 by joey

We all know C is for cookie. I mean, I’ve known that since before I could say it, right? As tempting as it was to go with THE “C” word, I thought it was a tad predictable after B is for bitchy. Quite … Continue reading →

The lovely onechicklette (@1chicklette) interviewed me for one of her Twitter Spotlight posts this week. I breezed through the questions, except when it came to the chief characteristic of myself, in one word. I like to think I’m too complex and multi-faceted … Continue reading →
