Because I love Words

I love words. You probably all know that. I mean, I use them to earn my living, to connect to people from all over the world in a way it would be impossible to do without the stories I tell.

But did you know I adore etymology too. What is it, you might ask? (As I did when I first heard this delicious word.)

Playing Dress-Up

This weekend we celebrated my b-i-l's 50th birthday. My sister threw him a huge murder mystery party where we all came as celebreties alive in 1961. I went as Mae West and Hubcap came as John Wayne. The man gets overheated way too easily, so he carried his hat more than wore it. (Get your minds out of the gutter, I was *not* talking about that!)

Carrying the burden of his brother's death and the breakdown of his family, the last thing Nathan needs is a pocket dynamo from the past complicating t...

Hubcap & I Celebrate 22 Years :)

Today is our 22nd Wedding Anniversary. Hubcap is taking half a day off and we are going to go do romancey stuff. Sound fun? I'm really looking forward to it! Here he is removing my garter after the wedding (I don't think I stopped smiling once that entire day):




Hope you all have a wonderful day and weekend! :) Tomorrow is a Murder Myster party for my b-i-l's 50th! I'm going as Mae West and Hubcap will be John Wayne. "See" you on Monday. :)

Humpday Hottie

A man who trims the hedges shirtless? Is a man worth watching...well, I admittedly only watch Hubcap, but he's all the entertainment I need. LOL
