learnin’ and lovin’

woven whispers

I heard that song “We Are The World” today on a pbs special about LiveAid. Hearing it immediately took me back to the summer of 1985 when I was obsessed with Michael Jackson and I was insane over that song. I was 10 years old and I was spending the summer...

Heaps of Flowers

John and I went to the downtown farmer’s market yesterday morning. We went last Saturday, too. I love it there. It’s in the park blocks, shaded, bustling with all sorts of people carrying their satchels with all kinds of goodies – berries, veggies, gorgeous...

32D?

So I decided to go get properly fitted for bras. I’ve been needing new bras and thought, what the heck, I‘ll go and get properly measured. And plus, I saw on oprah that most women are wearing the wrong bra size. Anyways, I went to Nordstrom’s and the bra lady went...
