When I was a kid, I used to do a lot of things with one hand. My father was missing a hand, and I was always curious about how he managed - so I trained myself to do things with one hand to see what it was like. He always found it amusing, but at the same time, it (and he) taught me to be grateful for things we don't often think about having.

I really can't wait for our veggie garden to start growing. I've developed an obsession with Mare's homemade salsa.

I used to love adding sugar to my coffee (or cereal). I no longer add sugar to anything I eat or drink and find myself actually enjoying the miracle of Equal. (But I haven't given up my Pepsi....yet....)

I have an obsession with lights. I've recently lined the driveway/walkway with solar lawn lights and spotlights, and will soon be working my way into the yard. I love all things solar.

The next door neighbor has the most adorable bulldog. I want to steal him. (But, I won't, for now....)
