Pondering The iPad

So, I did a blog for a client today about the iPad. Honestly, the first time I saw the commercial, my insides did a few little loop-de-loops. Now, this was something I could get interested in!

Shattering

My body, so weak Weak like an old frail woman Can’t fill out the paper work Lines on the page move, like plasma Across the page I can’t focus, can barely stay conscious Time to see the nurse “Sit here, she’ll be right with you” Words echo as sounds through water The room is running in circles As fas

Chapter Three - Catching The Bus

“Violet, you gonna be late again! Bus is going to be here any minute!” “I know, Ma. I’m hurrin.” Violet dashed into her room. Shedding her sweats, she threw on a pair of jeans, a t-shirt, white socks, army boots, and a gray hooded sweatshirt. Gil stuck his tongue out at her as she ducked into the [.

One Crazy December

Well, it’s Christmas once again and this year it’s been snowing like crazy. At least today. I’ve been pretty busy, as usual, but this month has been particularly busy.
