I want my government to be boring and competent enough so that I don’t have to think about it every goddamn minute.

Hello March!

May it be Pretty
May it be Purple and Blue
May all of your Hopes and Dreams
Blossom and come true.

How I love
The Man in the Moon
So inviting
With your gentle croon.

I wish sometimes
To whisk away
And fly to you
High above the fray.

I have been craving purple potatoes! Finally got some. This is delish: 2 purple & 1 sweet potato sliced & laid out bottom of pot. EVO 1st, seasoned & topped with 2 big handfuls kale, seasoned & topped with 4 chicken thighs, topped with kale, EVO. Bake at 375 for 1-1/2 hours. 4 perfect servings!🍽️

If you're a writer trying to finish a novel and you work full-time, how do you divvy up your time? Do you write daily, on the weekends, certain hours of the day? 🤔 I need help so any suggestions are greatly appreciated. TY. #writers #writing #writer #author #timemanagement

OMG, I get so inspired
Reading the work here
The words, the lines!

TY for keeping me
with an open mind
Reading to write
and ready to rhyme

It may not be much
to some or some others
but for me it's just right
as a nuanced poem lover.

This is Puff. She rolled under our fence from the neighbor's yard as a newborn. We heard lots of little meows and our big dog swallowing them! Thankfully, he was just cleaning her up. She is special. We never know what gifts will fall into our laps, or in this case, boxes. Happy Holidays, everybody!

Good morning!
On this brisk and chilly day,
Get your tea or coffee
Reach for the sun's rays.

Make every second count
And don't be shy or coy!
Too often we find regret
Not doing what we enjoy.

Repost from ScreaminMamas, but I thought it fitting as I went on the scale this morning!! I am determined to get this issue licked for the new year but still deciding on which version to use on the scale -lbs or kg-🤪 #Diet #Scale #Humor #Humour #Blog #BlogPosts

D.I.E.T.
I went on the scale again today…It’s still preposterous and I’m still seriously considering converting to KiloGrams so I have no idea what number it is. I just don’t get it… I said it before and I’ll ...

If you’re looking for a free way to support an author, did you know you can ask your library to stock a book you want to read that they don’t have yet? And usually it’s a very basic online form? Google your library name plus the words “request a title” or “suggest a title” to find yours.
