Raindrops Keep Falling On My (&*#$ing) Head!

Friends,
As you know, I’ve been sick the past few weeks.  I’ve spent my weekends indoors, wrapped in blankets, barely moving from the fetal position on the couch.  Yeah…it’s serious.  My husband says I’m just being dramatic.

What’s Love Got To Do With It?

Back in November, our very good friend, Wendy at Green Girl Art, tagged us with a meme for 75 loves. I followed up on the tag a third of the way at the time, posting a list of Giancarlo’s loves.
