I am here for Friends

About Me

My arch nemesis is now garlic. I have no other enemies.I don't work at all right now. For money, anyway. I have two children and I work to make their lives and my husband's life good ones. I consider it a privilege to stay home. I'm trying to write a book or at least get an article published...I would still like to learn how to play the drums, use a sewing machine, and ice skate so I can play hockey. I'm trying to bake from scratch a lot more, especially because of food allergies, but I'm not very good at it.My pet peeve is people who interrupt others...

What price, beauty?

Finally, a time of serenity "away from it all," I was lying on the cushy table wrapped snugly in a blanket at the spa, ready for my first facial. "Hack, sniffle, cough," went the hoarse dermatologist ...
