Many soggy New England-ers might hate me for admitting to this, given our recent endowment of raindrops, but I love rain. I find it soothing in a way that I may not ever be able to explain in a way that makes sense. Rain is bittersweet, cleansing, peaceful. It is the promise of renewal and the perfume of nostalgia, all rolled into one.

It turns out that I am not alone. So, if you are feeling rainy today, you should open a browser and type in http://www.rainymood.com/ . . .
Then find out what mellow feels like as a verb.

Dabbling in decoratives is an ongoing obsession. I love having a go at This, That and the Other. . . tackling projects that tickle my fancy, hoarding costumes (for the "Someday" that I own a dress-up tea-house for grown-ups) and hosting themed parties whenever I am not immersed in teaching French and Writing to high school students.
In the interest of full transparency, there's something serious you should know: I overuse the ellipsis . . . frequently. Embarassingly enough, it seems to be the punctuation that best captures my stream of thought as it flits off of one subject and towards the next!
