night owl nightmare

hush little baby don't say a word

i ain't gonna buy you a mockingbird

and i know that it may sound rough

but baby that's the world

the big bad wolf is playing in the backyard

and very child's nightmare's right outside the front door

ain't no blanket gonna hide our heads

it's us against the world

moonlight minus melatonin

up again last night

staring up at the ceiling

it used to be a fight

i'll be up around four am

cussing at the sandman

oh sandman, won't you come and tuck me in

dreams that come from lack of sleeping

don't count as dreams

nonsense made from tired brain cells

where nothing's as it seems

i'll keep on staring blankly 

hoping for heavy eyes

oh sandman, i thought you were my friend

From One Food Lover to the Next

My sister has started her own food blog. This is exciting for me for several reasons. First, her and her husband are not only excellent cooks, but they are both good at explaining kitchen instructions in a way I can understand. Second, while the things they cook are gourmet, they are usually not hard recipes to make. Lastly, I have always thought that my sister had a knack for writing. I am excited to get to read not just her recipes, but her kitchen experiences and any stories she has to share. Being a foodie, wife, pharmacist, dog lover, sister and lover of the outdoors, I'm sure she'll have no shortage of things to write about. Now, finding time to write will be the hardest part!

Interested in food, family or just like looking at pretty pictures of both? Take some time to check it out. She has started out with the basics. A great place to start!
