Life with cats is completely different than I would have expected back in my pre-cat days. This artist is brilliant. I’m just glad Linus and Einstein don’t have access to baseball bats…….that I know of….

I don’t know why my oven tried to kill me last night. Maybe it was a ploy for attention, or maybe it simply forgot how to cook, lonely and unused for so long. Whatever its motivation, the oven used all of its energy on the pyrotechnic display.
All I was trying to do [...]

I have a funny job. A job which requires me, at times (well – okay today was the first time), to draw a self portrait in oil pastels. At Girl Scouts this quarter we are doing an art and drama program with the girls. Today we learned about complimentary colors by drawing self portraits in [...]
