My Bella Mosaic

 … if I may say so myself.
 
Last week my friend Michelle posted an intriguing mosaic created by Flickr and based on select keywords and personal preferences. What fun.
 
Since I have that distasteful habit of talking about myself a tad too often, I thought this was a perfect roundabout. So instead of telling you about myself, I’m [...]

Obessesion is a Travel Addict’s Best Friend

And, I am obsessed.
 
It is no secret I love to travel. However, even more than this I love to snag a good travel deal. In my recent obsession with snagging said deal I have scoured the Internet for travel-related resources, new trends, and cool sites. Sadly, I can not report having found a dynamic travel [...]

Fly Lady (dot) Net … A Review for You

Do you have your shoes on today?
 
No, seriously. Do you have your shoes on?
 
Where are your shoes? Put on your damn shoes!
 
Ok, ok … so maybe this is a slight over-exaggeration on my part, but it’s not that far off.

Where I am From

Last Month Michelle of Bleeding Espresso wrote a poem modeled after George Ella Lyon’s, “Where I am From.” She included a form you can use to collect your own thoughts, and finding myself in a momentarily ambitious state, and procrastinating a less-than-ideal last minute assignment, I accepted the challenge.

Auguri Blog Reader …

Howdy, Ya’ll

Thanks for coming. 
 
Did you have any problems finding the place?

But, I was lucky. [...]
