Tickled Red

Etching…not sketching.

December 19, 2009

I apologize for not posting. Things have been a little over the top with getting ready for Christmas and school wrapping up. Speaking of which, what to do with the monkeys while they are out of school? After they have used up their allotted amount of time deemed acceptable for the leakage of their grey […]

Monkeying around.

December 16, 2009

When my cute, sweet, innocent monkeys asked me to help them with baking their school projects I said yes of course. What cooking enthusiastic mother wouldn’t? Boy, little did I know that just this once I should have declined and gone to the grocery store for what they needed. My brain should have done the […]

Paper, bindings and ink.

December 15, 2009

Can you possibly guess as to what I have on the brain today? You guessed it BOOKS. If you couldn’t guess, than my little clue must be horrible and I apologize. Now if you want to know something that does more than TICKLE me, I mean the axis shifts in my planetary orbit, it is […]

London on a Sunday.

December 13, 2009

What better way to spend your Sunday than listening to the fabulous lilt of the British accent, taking in the view of the River Thames, basking in the wonder of Buckingham Palace. Not to mention those quaint side streets and shops where you can buy anything from candy to magic wands. Huh! Magic wands? Oh, […]

Cork It!

December 10, 2009

Cork It! I am sure that this phrase has you wondering. Who needs to cork it? What needs a cork? What does she mean? Is this another funny story about the monkeys? Isn’t this lady supposed to be talking about what TICKLES her? Did the surfer tell his lovely, hyper, over talkative, loud, beautiful redhead […]

Southern Key Lime for the Holidays

December 9, 2009

The holidays are in full swing. I absolutely love this time of year. The time of year when your house is filled with the wonderful and exotic aromas of chocolate, cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg. Everyone lives in the kitchen snacking on goodies, Bing Crosby’s “I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas” is playing in the back […]

Boys, Boys, Boys!

December 7, 2009

I apologize for not posting this yesterday, but we always wait to get our Christmas tree until after Monkey One has celebrated his birthday. Then it is officially time to “Deck the Halls”, which is what we have been doing, and what we are still doing. In the meantime here it is as I promised. […]

Ahhh, home.

December 5, 2009

Since this is a blog about my love of the simple things in life I have to say that coming home from a trip tops the list. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I don’t enjoy going places, hangin’ out with friends and laughin’ it up with the monkeys. I actually love those almost […]

Twelve…really?

December 3, 2009

Really? Twelve years old? You have got to be kidding me…where did the time go? Will he really be driving in three years?! Off to college in six!! Ack! I think that I am going to be faint. Look at that little face. He did not grow up that quickly. I can’t possibly be old […]

One door closes, another opens…

November 30, 2009

Today is a reflective day for me. Today I said goodbye to a job that I have enjoyed immensely for nearly ten years. Although it was sad and bizarre to say the least, I did stay positive. I remembered the old adage “One door closes, and another one opens”. So hope abounds for me yet. […]
