Today I’m mourning the loss of a great lady. Margaret Thatcher was a leader ahead of her times. She’s revered by women across the world. Her not-only-can-do-but-shall-do attitude was one of the things that made her a great leader. She was, and remains, one of my favorite things. I hope you’ll enjoy this poem from A Word A Day! because it eloquently expresses what many of us are thinking today…about a lady of iron.
Sweet Factor
I’ve hit my sweet factor limit! I have to stop using “Dear Reader.” Faithful Followers? Fellow Bloggers? Devoted Diarists??? This is going to be harder than I expected. Never fear, I’ll come up with something…or resort to acronyms!
Dum Dum Da Dum ~~Update #1
I’m busy doing “research” for my daughter’s virtual wedding. . . .finding so many wonderful things I want to share with you, Dear Reader. At the moment, I’m temporarily overwhelmed because I’d like to have them all, but even a virtual wedding has to have limits. (drat!)
Oh dear, a thought just passed through my mind — maybe I’ll have to plan more than one!

See you soon!
Yuuuuummmmm!
Turn your oven on…this post from Design Sponge will have you rushing to the kitchen.
I gave it a 10 on my Munch Factor© list. On a scale from 1 to 10, what would you give it? Let me know in the comments.
YAAAAAAY!
Ta Da! I finally finished redecorating! Now I can focus on my Quest-for-the-best-of-the-best to share with you, Dear Reader…I’ll use DR–from now on, because it isn’t as saccharine and definitely more palatable!
Speaking of palatable…Do you ever wish you could do more here in WP-Land? I wish there were more options to convey my three EEEs–Enthusiasm, Exuberance and/or Emotion. I like having the option to highlight and use colored text for emphasis, but in WP-land, I’m limited to Bold and/or Italic, which don’t always truly reflect what I want to convey. I see this as an opportunity to learn more about using WP and maximizing what I find–on my Quest. You can be my jury and let me know if I’ve succeeded.
I’ll leave you with this bit of fluff from Alexander McQueen Fall 2012:
Sheesh, I hope that isn’t as fuzzy on your side as it seems from my side of the screen (the photo, not the garment—I can’t tell if it’s a coat or a gown!) I promise to be more inspired for my next post.
I’ll be back after a word from our sponsor…[see me, tongue in cheek, reminiscing] ;o)
J'Adore Tuesdays: St. Patrick's Day Treats
We're only a handful of days away from St. Patrick's Day! As a kid, I loved this holiday. Mostly because I loved pinching my brothers when they forgot to wear green. I was devious, too. I always wore green, but it was hidden so that I could pinch twice. As a grown-up, pinching is a little less acceptable, unless it's my brothers (beware!).
These are so cute...and yummy....I wanted to share them with you....a few of my "Favorite Things"
