  • We Couldn’t Save Baloo Today

    We couldn’t save Baloo today
    No matter how hard we tired
    In the world of dog rescue
    Sometimes, it just happens that way

    Baloo the big fluffy white dog
    Was condemned to death
    For biting a cop
    Who climbed in through a window
    His old lady, Baloo had to defend
    Both the cop and the dog
    Were just doing their job

    Baloo was saved by a rescue
    And was sent to a foster Mom
    But the foster Mom had issues
    A big fluffy white dog
    For her, was just too much

    A nervous dog sent
    To a [...]

  • A Question for the Women

    Where exactly do other women learn about things such as decorative pillow shams, vs useable pillow cases?
    Or the difference between dishes that are just pretty and are not placed in a dishwasher or microwaves vs practical dishes?
    Where do women learn about clothes that match and how to judge other women for having socks that don’t match?
    Is there a class my mother failed to take me to where we are supposed to learn how to tell if something is an antique [...]

  • Instinct vs Research

    “This is what happens when you dabble! You can’t practice the Craft while you are looking down your nose at it.” ~ The Aunts from Practical Magic
    So why do I have to do all this required reading and research? Isn’t that work? Its so time consuming and the books are hard to read! Why can’t we simply practice solely based upon our instincts and natural talents?
    Instinct is only one part of the equation.
    Imagine that your spiritual practice was a house. [...]

  • I’m No Heroine

    by Ani Difranco

    *
    You think I wouldn’t have him
    Unless I could have him by the balls
    You think I just dish it out
    You don’t think I take it at all
    You think I am stronger
    You think I walk taller than the rest
    You think I’m usually wearing the pants
    Just ’cause I rarely wear a dress

    Well…

    When you look at me
    You see my purpose,
    See my pride
    You think I just saddle up my anger
    And ride, ride , ride
    You think I stand so firm
    You think I sit so [...]

  • A few (more) random things about me:

    I am working on a blog post about our trip across Canada but am dealing with a good strong case of procrastination, the need to do more important things (like finding a job) and dealing with a time zone change.
    I’m thinking you can enter your Mother-phase of life before actually being a wife or mother. On account of this damned nesting instinct causing me real existential crisis.
    I wish there had been Montessori type schools when I was a kid.
    I have [...]
