Italy *IS* Magical and we have the unicorn to prove it
I always knew Italy was a special place, but I didn’t realize how special until yesterday.
“What is that?” You ask.
Why, it is a unicorn.
They *do* exist … they *do* exist … and all of the times your 3-year old daughter said she saw one were true.
This rare animal, who has been so creatively named “Unicorn,” was recently spotted in [...]
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 [...]
Italian Proverbs - Good Things are Ahead!
Italian sayings and proverbs are just a tad bit “cuter” to me than American sayings.
I don’t know why …
I love America, and, believe me, I LOVE speaking English. To be entirely honest, I think the reason I enjoy these sayings so much is because I. finally. understand. them!
Oh, you remember Pazzo Marzo, right? That is [...]
Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit
of Happiness.
Borrowed from philosopher John Locke, Thomas J. hit the mark when he penned these famous words. “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.”
But, who knew the” pursuit” part would be so darn hard?
In the 2006 movie, “The Pursuit of Happiness,” Chris Gardner (played by Will Smith), laments the pursuit of the ever-distant, and seemingly [...]
Adieu, Pazzo Marzo
Ahhh….j’adore Spring!
I really do.
But, Pazzo Marzo got the best of me this year. It was a tough month!
Sooooo, HELLO APRIL, boy am I glad you’re here. And, that’s no joke!
Throughout the month, we alternated between basking in the sunny warmth, to dodging the cold wind, ice storms, and rain. March is so unpredictable, Italians even [...]
Meme Monday: Seven
Guilty! I’m guilty…
I have been ignoring my meme-forwarding friends long enough - and, today I’m going to do something about it.
I love memes. Love them! Why wouldn’t I? I get to talk all about myself!
Fun for you, I know…
So, for the next few Mondays (at least) I’m gonna catch up on my memes.
Today’s meme was [...]
Once Again…
Carnevale has come and gone, and much too soon, I might add. It was somewhat overshadowed for me this year by other pressing international events.
I mean, why, oh why did Super Tuesday and Fat Tuesday coincide? I meant to vote for Hillary Clinton, but ended up writing in Audrey Tautou. Damn, those hurricanes! Damn them! [...]
So Long, Joe
In keeping with one of my quarter-year resolutions, I have adopted a few new healthy habits. In fact, I have a “100 Tips for a Better Body Book” and I’m slooooowly adding a few of the suggestions into my daily routine. (Let’s not discuss the fact that I’ve had this book at least two years [...]
On Days Like These…
these bitter cold, sub-60 degree days, I wish I was anywhere else.
Well, not actually anywhere.
I wouldn’t want to be in Paris where it is 43 frosty degrees today. Or, in Vancouver where they are chilling out to a whopping 31. And, I sure as hell don’t wanna be in Detroit - where they registered a [...]
Un Mondo Piccolo
Walt and his pal Topolino were on to something when they sang about our Small World.
Imagine.
They had never even heard of the Internet…never sent an email…never read a blog.
What would they say now?
Several times a week I get an email from someone commenting on this blog.
And. I. Love. It.
As a wanna-be-famous-someday writer, I am thrilled [...]
