Source: dude4food.blogspot.com via Kathy on Pinterest Marvelous little dove you, I laugh every time my Uncle Kevin tells the story of the most embarrassing moment of his life. Going off to summer camp at eight years old was an exciting adventure for the shy, poor kid wearing hand-me-down everything. On drop-off day, after the [...]

Hello magnificent, superbly awesome little dove you! How’s summer for you? It goes by sooo fast, doesn’t it? I just want to catch it by the tail and hold it for a few extra moments so that we can all enjoy it a little longer. But fall is my favorite season of the year so [...]
View PostIt’s Wednesday, July 18!
Hey amazing little dove, you, Are you aware that: It’s already Wednesday, July 18. And it’s 2012. And I’m 29 and 7 months old. And someone just asked me for major life advice. And my sister’s driving a car. And my dog is a senior citizen (in dog years). And I’m an author. And there [...]
View PostRunning out of fuel? Yikes! Avoid mayo madness
Chickadee, I’m not the kind of person to let my car run of gas. In the 13 years I’ve been driving (flip! 13 years already?), it’s never happened. I usually don’t let the little orange needle thing on my dashboard get below the 1/4-full tank mark. I’m into taking risks but this isn’t the kind [...]

Chickadee, There are many kinds of laughter but my favorite is the kind that takes over your whole body. Like, you can’t do anything but let yourself have a laughing fit. Forget about walking.

View PostRandom acts of dancing
Little doves, Something utterly, totally, majorly bizarre has been happening to me lately. I feel the need to dance. Randomly. Even when there’s no music playing. When it’d be sort of odd if I danced. Sure, people dance while driving alone in their cars or when they’re doing boring stuff like laundry but I’m talking [...]
View PostLatest public display of pink cheeks and flustering
The McDonald’s near my office is on its way to being way more hip, cosmo coffee shop than giant cinderblock Happy Meal box. Quite a renovation project! Last week, while driving back to work after an appointment with my dentist, I decided to stop there for a chocolate-y coffee treat because it’s Christmas time and [...]
