The Block
I have writer’s block.
There. I said it.
Nothing dramatic. I just can’t think of a thing to say. Prep is underway for BlogHer. There will be a haircut involved, and a manicure and pedicure - since I can’t seem to do those things without an excuse. Children are being raised, parents coddled, marriages stroked. And just… [...]
How I got my online handle
I was recently asked how I got my handle, “Sparksfley.”
Sometimes you see me as Michele - and other times Sparks or Sparksfley.
It’s really quite simple. I had canceled my aol account, and then decided to create a new one. I got sparksfley from Sparks - a name my husband was calling me due to my [...]
A meme? For me?

I get to see crack
So. Saturday I spackled Joseph’s room, and yesterday, we sanded down, all in prep for painting perhaps next weekend. Part one of our House Beautiful project.
We also did laundry and dishes.
Poe and I were covered in spackle dust from head to toe. Poe now knows what I’ll look like when I’m fully gray.
Go to take [...]
They say it’s your birthday…
… well it’s my birthday too, yeah.

My Mind
My mind is all akimbo.
Things are starting to come together in plans to come home. Granted, not tomorrow, but concrete plans. There’s a light at the end of the tunnel.
But I’ve had too much caffeine and cannot seem to put the words to paper blog in order to tell you all about it.
My mind is [...]

to laptop or not
I think I need some advice.
Do I buy a laptop or not? I will have the money from our refund. however, I’m not sure I should spend it on that or debt.
Then again - this other refund - that rebate thingie for the economy - is found money. I didn’t work for it, I didn’t [...]
Time Flies
What does it make me, if I got really excited about the time change, ’cause the clock in the kitchen now has the correct time? You know - ’cause it never got changed last time?
Lazy?
Made me Smile
I was on my way home from work the other night. I drive through a little portion of a city that was sort of made for “date night.” Near a nice mall, lit up tree lined streets, shops, galleries, restaurants and the like. So I’m a stop light, and look to my left - when [...]
