Whatcha Been Up To?
‘Cuz we all whittle away the days somehow. . . . I feel like every time someone asks, What’ve you been up to? I’m at a loss for a substantial answer. I mean, what have I been up to? The days seem to blur together in a stream of chores and worry, interrupted momentarily by…

Just a Little Hello.
(smiles and waves) . . . Hello, Dear Reader. And greetings from our Sweet-Baby Berkshire RV! The SnapDragon Family is nearing a week on the open road, and well, it’s been a rainy one. But that shall not dampen our spirits! We’ve seen bits and pieces of this country—the tiniest samplings of the American southeast—and…

A Happy Life.
I mean, that’s what it’s all about, no? . . . Hello, Dear Reader! And greetings from my cozy corner of southeastern Pennsylvania. It’s snowing again, I’m still in my mismatched PJs, and I just shamelessly indulged in the pure deliciousness captured above. (Twice, I might add. Calories can suck it, yo.) And per the…

Brain Dump.
Yep. The tradition continues. . . . Good evening, lovelies! Ol’ Snap is tucked in bed early tonight, hoping to enjoy a little time in The Blogosphere. And that includes dumping out all of the mind-gunk that’s festered over the past several, unposted days. On we go! . . . SnapDragon’s Brain Dump: 1. I’m…

Shattered.
Nothing is beyond repair. . . . Everything seems shattered/ splintered/ separated into camps of For or Against. And my little hands shake. And I think my heart might break. ‘Cause it seems like we’ve forgotten the love between us. . . . SnapDragon is a weirdo. Snippets of SnapDragon

Breathe.
You know: That thing we do to keep on going. . . . I have two feline companions on my lap; a leftover cookie-dough Blizzard at my fingertips; and a heartbeat that feels much too fast for a Friday night. (shrugs) Laaard knows why. But I feel shaky. I feel like I’m letting people down…

SnapDragon’s Top Ten Albums: Pick #5.
Hi! And welcome to the latest addition to my Desert Island Picks. In case you missed my little advertisement, I’ve decided to award ten–yes, only ten—top albums of my life. And when I say ‘album’, I mean the entire album, friends. The whole record. Not some compilation or mix tape. I put in the CD, crank up the…
