But then I remembered, I have my own blog. I can publish my own meme! Hehe. 1. Why are you a feminist? What does being a feminist mean to you? And if you don’t consider yourself to be a feminist, then why not? I do consider myself a feminist, and although I’ve lived that lifestyle [...]

  So, this is my first entry since Oct. 08- yikes. To catch up, the end of 08 was very rough for me emotionally, as G. was on the job market and I wasn’t handling it very well. I sought therapy and with his acquisition of not one, but two jobs, things stabilized. I’ve been [...]

So, I have this new friend at work. We discovered that we both are into making beaded jewelry and have been spending more time together. Now, when I say that we both like to make jewelry, I mean that I like to make jewelry for ME and she likes to make enough jewelry for the [...]

This is Lola. She is our Boston Terrorist. On Saturday, we went to the Bark Park! Lola made some friends, rolled in a mud puddle…. … and, after rinsing off and taking a quick nap…. she played with a big yellow Frisbee. It was a good day!
