The Life and Times of a Part Time Dreamer....

I used to always want to be a princess when I was younger, I just knew I was going to marry some handsom charming prince with a white horse and dashing smile and I was going to make the right chioce the first time and never have to have my heart broken. but "once upon a time" I realized I didn't want to be that fluffy princess that had to be saved all the time. I learned to fight my own dragons and learned to make the chioces that needed to be made.which in a way has been my down fall, it's made me proud and head strong and stubborn. And I'm still learning to rein myself in. I guess that pride and confidence of doing things my self has made me intimidating to some people. instead of that smiling inocent princess that does what she's told I've become a towering headstrong empriss with no patience for silly people. It's not right and I'm ashamed of that pride. I want to have that patience and kindness and I try to be soft spoken , but I still cant st...

I recently read a new trilogy and I strongly recommend it to all those readers out there who enjoy Pride and Prejudice or any of Jane Austen's works. Everyone would love to know what the alleged Mr.Darcy is really thinking. Handsome, tall, proud, but quiet and cool enough to drive anyone nuts with the thought of what really is going on behind the well composed features of his solum face. These amazingly well written books bring to light the thoughts and actions of the mysterious Lord of Pemberly and Darbeshire. What brings him to propose to a woman he's come in contact with only a few times and how does he handle her abrupt and chilly refusal. Pamela Aidan has written incredibly well what few others have attempted. They are absolutely some of my most favorite books that I have read. An Assembly Such as This, Duty and Desire, and These Three Remain are captivating and will be as easy read for any romantic. There have been several attempts to capture exactly who Mister Darcy i...

a book a swing a blanket a tree the sun The dew soaks through my jeans as I sit cross legged on the still damp ground, hopelessly buried in my newest novel. The spring breeze plays with my hair and sends chills down my back. My quilt lays under the swing still folded, the intriguing story having engulfed my attention before I could get properly settled. I turn yet another page and shift my stiff legs out from under me. unconsciously I slip off my shoes and lay back in the grass. A rustling disturbs my thoughts and the the sound of panting proceeds the appearance of a wet pink tongue and dog breath. H aving been thoroughly distracted from my book I reach up and ruffle the monsters ears and wipe the slobber from my face. Rising to one elbow I survey my solitude and find joy in the smell of the afternoon air and the twitter of the newly returned birds. With a humph the animal flops down beside me and continues to grin and pant. I lay against her warm side knowing I'll h...

HAPPY DAYS!!!!!! Little baby brother has finally arrived and isn't he the sweetest face you've ever seen. Sunday afternoon he came into the world and brought a smile to all our faces. I got to hold him today and listen as he talked ( or squeeked) in his sleep. He already has that baby smell and he has the most adorable little yawn. He's so tiny and soft, the way I talk about it you'd think this was my first sibling. But no, he's the fifth in our family and will probably be the most spoiled. 7lbs 15oz he swooped right in and captured everyones hearts. This is the start of a new begining for our family. ;) Brand new and beautiful.

Valentines has passed and life goes on pretty much the same. the sun is shining more often and the snow is beginning to melt. and I'm stuck inside with strep!!!! Isn't it ironic. The week you decide to do something with your life is the week you get sick. oh well at least I have a chance to sit down. So a couple weeks ago I took my all too round dog and decided to cure both of ours cabin fever. We went for a walk around our neighborhood. It was sunny and slushy in the snow and I got to check up on things I hadn't seen since my last walk( which was before the snow fell). When we returned home I ventured out into the frozen wasteland of my backyard to see what I could find. my curiosity was rewarded. BUNNY TRACKS on the undisturbed snow I found a trail of bunny tracks. In my imagination I took on my fur trapper persona and fallowed the tracks. I probably was something very funny to look at as I hopped from foot to foot through the snow, trying not to get snow in my snow b...

Oh the magic of chocolate chip cookies. they make the house smell beautiful, the dough tastes amazing, not to mention the joy they bring no matter what kind of day you're having. can't wait to make a batch and spread the love. :)

leggings.. check socks...check jeans...check sweatshirt....check undershirt...check two pairs of gloves....check hat...check scarf...check coat... check snow pants...check boots...check sled..check and then inevitable as soon as you're decked out and ready for the snow you have to take it all off and go to the bathroom. Isn't that always the way. Today is the day that we are packing everyone into their snow suits and sending them flying down the hill. And building snowmen and snow forts that will last until the sun melts them into puddles of mush. You play until your fingers freeze and and you can't feel your cheeks or nose anymore and then you come inside and ceremoniously strip of all your wet clothes and grab your favorite blankie and sit down by the heater and read. YAY! SNOW!
