(This post is for Vanessa’s annual Mad Tea Party blog hop…excessive silliness, starring the Kork-Knees, will ensue. Fair warning!) I told them not to follow. I told them it wasn’t actually a white rabbit, it was Jack Kork wearing white rabbit ears. That it was a joke. But did they listen? Ooooooh no. Off they…
Hi! It’s been awhile since I’ve posted…which seems to be the norm in the past couple of years, haha. Blogging isn’t what it used to be; it used to be about just rambling on about life & whatever you felt compelled to ramble about, but it seems now “blogging” is similar to “publishing a magazine,”…
I’ve had grand garden dreams for ages (mentioned on this blog over the years), and yet I’ve never made them happen. [Insert a million reasons why here.] I did make a start on it a couple of years ago & even had a celosia go bonkers: When I moved to where I am now, I…
Hello hello! Welcome to the first Klatch post of 2016! (For more about what the Klatch is, see this page.) I’ve got all kinds of ideas for the Klatch this year…Erma just won’t stay quiet these days, and she’s been stomping & swishing & tickling the inside of my mind with her tail, trying to…
So tonight, Downton Abbey finally returns to US screens…and it’s the beginning of the end. *cue sobbing* I admit that I was tempted to watch the last episodes a few months ago after they aired in the UK, but then decided no, I’d rather enjoy these last few “Downton Sundays” that we get. I still…
I missed wishing this blog a happy anniversary! Ok, to be technical, my blog is older than 10 years and this domain is younger than 10. But my archives here, the ones I was able to save, go back to September 2005, so last September marked 10 years of content here on this blog. :)…
So I’m really, really excited that The X-Files is coming back next year. Even though it’s just a few episodes, I’m thrilled. The X-Files was one of the first shows I really got into and always had to watch; I really enjoyed the ongoing conspiracies & wondering when Scully would finally admit she’d seen all…
This post is part of the Elephant Coffee Klatch series, where I get to know the creative “elephant in the room” of my subconscious. This “elephant” is a looming, unrealized dream (or dreams) that lingers in the back of my mind, one I try to ignore but that won’t let me. The Klatch is about…
So The Klatch is coming back. Klatch 2.0! Except it was never exactly a 1.0 version…more of a .5 version. But never mind that. Erma has swished—er, spoken—and I’m very, very eager to bring the Klatch back. Lots & lots more info to come in the coming days/weeks, but for now…I just needed to write…
I’m back into Downton love! Sad that I was ever “out” of it, but there it is. I’d first fell for the show when it started & gleefully looked forward to Downton Sunday & the Twitter parties; I even made two wonderful friends that way, and we started our own private Facebook group to talk…
It’s time! It’s time! It’s time for the annual Halloween Party hosted by A Fanciful Twist! Me and the Kork-Knees are ever so excited…the Kork-Knees have been bouncing around the house all week, clamoring to party. They’ve been waiting for the portal to open; they actually went through one a few days ago & returned…
Ok, they’re not new. These wacky beings have been around this blog for years now. But as of today, they officially have a new name: The Kork-Knees! Why? Well, as I mentioned in this post, I always pronounced their original name, Korknisse, as “cork-neeze,” and I have no idea if that’s even remotely close to…
