A Little White Story
I'm gonna tell ya a story about my life. Yeah, and you can decide what is true and what is not true. I may just be playing on your sympathies but this is my life and I can be anyone I want to be. The beauty of online is that… Read full post »
New Moon or Full Moon?! Vampires Suck!
I've been thinking about vampires lately. Probably because of all the hype surrounding the release of the "New Moon" movie. I'm definitely out of the loop on this one. I know the movie is about vampires and young girls have crushes on the characters in the movie.

Coming Back to Life
Life gets busy in Maine in late spring to early fall. We have more 'from away' people frequenting our establishments and less time to roam the internet. People in Maine also have dreams. True Mainers probably dream most in the winter while they are trying to figure… Read full post »
An Erotic Man
I have been sifting through my brain's experience to select who is the sexiest man alive. I had to look up the word, sexy to make sure I had the right definition. I am going to go with the first definition:
1 : sexually suggestive or stimulating : erotic
and if I… Read full post »
Crisis of Church
I am not having a crisis of faith but I am having a crisis of church. I like being authentic in my spiritual gatherings and I am most familiar with going to a Catholic church if I want to gather with other Jesus lovers. I have to confess that… Read full post »
Crazy Compassion is Jobless

Crazy Compassion does not distinguish and discern. Compassion tends to lack fine critical or creative skills and certainly does not write eloquently like Shakespeare or sexy erotic like Anais Nin. Might as well hand a paint brush to a duck than hand it over to Compassion.

My Own Backyard
Just want to tell you about my backyard. What a mess. My farm is worse than Green Acres. I have more than enough to tend here.
A couple weeks ago, before I turned into a witch, I stacked a lot of wood. Wood stacking is a regular pastime in… Read full post »

A Tasty Piece

Maine Election: You Do the Math
I got to thinking after the Maine election. I do some crazy thinking and ask myself questions like, "What conservative, born again Christian would vote for medical marijuana?" or "What right winger would vote for medical marijuana?" I guess some conservative thinkers might...hmmmm. Yet, medical marij… Read full post »

Star Travels from Maine to Mexico

I spent last week in good company visiting Yucatan beaches and ruins. We stayed in a hotel outside of Cancun near Playa del Carmen. When I saw Cancun for the first time, I was glad that we were not staying at a Cancun hotel.
The Mystique of Makeup
What?! No makeup!! Horrors!! Shock! Awe! I am mystified by makeup. The idea of makeup is a concept that has escaped my application. Every once in a while, I decide to apply makeup and disaster follows.

Topless and Mooseless in Maine
In Maine, we had our first hot, sunny and cloudless spring day. I was feeling very warm and wanted to go topless. I wait all winter to go topless. I dream of that first day that I can get lighter clothes from the drawer and go out and about without a… Read full post »
Drying Out and Detox
This week, I decided that I needed to go into detoxification. I've had this addiction since my late teens. I didn't really start until college when I left home. I've tried to quit over the years and have stopped many times only to start again with a vengeance.
Maybe I didn't… Read full post »

Girls Will Be Girls
