Fortuitous Sigh

I found this beautiful shop, Stiletto Heights, on Etsy and want very much to buy two of these photos, but they are so haunting, so wanting, I’m certain any Feng Shui artist would shake her head no. Women thinking about love should not hang portraits of lonely women on her walls. . .

Still, they are so beautiful [...]

Beautifully Sad Waiting Women

I went dancing last night and it should have been a lovely evening, but it was so disappointing and the very reason I left tango before. Maybe, I need a new gig. Salsa is usually fun. Maybe, I’ll take up golf.

Happy Pills and Career Moves

I am about to go off to my first job interview in over two years. It’s a bit daunting, to say the least. I took part of a happy pill to calm my nerves, then needed coffee to bring me back from feeling stoned. (I may have taken a bit too much. Oops.)

Deprivation–shopping or sex?

Today I was out in the world, a place I don’t always like to be. It’s evening now and I am happy to be back home. Yeah, home. Zephyr is a big furry curl upon my bed. I’m nestled in at my desk, Anna Nalick on the play list. As soon as I’m healed (knee injury–slow recovery) [...]

Scarflette Weather

The fog lifted, but has left a hard chill. I’ve abandoned felting–just for today–to crochet several scarflettes. I like how smart they look.
 
You can actually wear them with urban wear and not feel overly bulky, as w/a scarf. And as I mentioned on Etsy, I hate it when my scarf falls from my shoulder onto [...]
