Yer in mah brainz!

I love you! You are my hero!

Even Wills? o.O

Yes. I did a facepalm about 15 seconds in. Horrible on so many levels, not the least of which is that this fool lives in the vicinity. At least the kids are cute. Too bad they'll likely end up to be insufferable.

I'm a uterine cancer survivor (seven years!) who had all internal female organs removed in a radical hysterectomy and was not given the option of HRT due to the hormonal aspect of the cancer.

James Taylor wrote a song dedicated to his sow, Mona, after she died a natural death. It's on his album That's Why I'm Here.

I wear make-up because I'm vain. I have pretty eyes and wearing mascara and subtle eyeliner make them look amazing. I do a bit of brow color too, admittedly, because my eyebrows are growing white hairs now and are paling out. I have a pretty mouth too, so I enjoy wearing lip stain to emphasize it, but I hate heavy…

I love him. I also want to pinch his pink toeses.

Amen. I love the stuff.

If my new favorite skirt was shiny, FLOTUS and I would be fashion twins. Well, that's the story in my head wherein we meet for lunch and laugh amiably at our mutual sense of style.

What a beautiful cat!
