The Green Room

Today is a housecleaning/catching up on sewing projects kind of day.

I gave birth in my dream last night. We ended up in a hospital up near the zoo in Washington Park, and I can’t actually remember anything about the birth. I mean, I remember it happening, in my dream, and it took about two days, but afterwards, while I was still in the dream, it [...]

So, my new cell phone is green. One might even say a very Kermit kind of green. One might especially say this now that my sweetie has made me a new ringtone. Normally I hate it when people call me, not because I dislike talking to people (although that is sometimes, ok, often the case, [...]
