    I Have a Big Bum*

    It’s true. I got all the bum for everyone in our family. Doodle, Peeah, Spart, Choppy and Teep all have small bums. And me? Well, I’ve got some junk in the trunk. I don’t mind it all that much to be honest. Peeah often has a harder time buying jeans because she has no bum to hold them on. I don’t have that problem. haha! Our waist size is very similar so we can swap clothes, but because of my large bum I often prefer a size bigger. I’m not into the “I-just-painted-my-pants-on” look.

I normally run though the residential neighborhoods nearby, but today I decided to run on a high school track that’s not far from where I am. I find it’s easier to monitor…

    Sunrise, Sunset*

    Sometimes I like to pretend that I’m a photographer. Really, I don’t even think that I’ve even hit amateur status yet. haha! But every so often I take a picture that kind of turns out how I’d like it to. The sunset last night was so beautiful it was ridiculous… so I took some pictures and I thought I’d share them with you. These photos brought back a memory of a song I wrote when I was 17. It was just after I’d broken up with my first boyfriend and I was really… melancholy. One verse goes: “The sun is setting low,It paints the sky in pinks and purples.I walk…
