Music and Magic - Words Optional
For someone who is in love with words, I find myself drawn to music with none. Soundtracks with titles but no lyrics, classical pieces that remind me of music classes in college, an instrumental version of a Christmas song. Sometimes life doesn't need...
Everything is Better When I'm Upside Down
I am addicted to pictures of Pit Bulls. I stare at pictures of Fred and Angel and wish I could convince everyone I know to adopt a Pit. That is a difficult task when one considers the shocking amount of incorrect information available. It makes me want...
The Pit Bull Gym
Last night, my fantastic husband gave me the most wonderful gift. It wasn't jewelry, a handbag or something I could physically hold in my hand. He let me go to the basement all by myself so I could walk/jog on the treadmill and use my weights. It took...
