b ~ And I have seen the eternal Footman hold my coat, and snicker,
My life of late has been filled with library book requests for sparkly tales of evening gowns and formal balls; avidly following the story of a brave young woman getting a very Disney makeover; and birthdays. My own personal philosophy

a ~ And I have seen the eternal Footman hold my coat, and snicker,
Had to make a trip to Walmart this morning so B could spend his birthday money on more useless crap with which to clot our house. That place – it flattens me. Walmart, not our house. Well, our house can

a ~ I have seen the moment of my greatness flicker,
I spent the morning watching kindergartners muck around in a pond, and I spent the afternoon listening to the still-familiar cadence of the voice of a friend I hadn’t seen in over a decade, and I spent the evening talking about
