Inside Out

I’m in the midst of my second adulthood and while certain practicalities annoy the hell out of me (unemployment) there is still much to enjoy. I’ve had lots of careers but one thing has always been constant- my love of books, reading, fashion, and writing. I'm trying to avoid therapy, armed assault, and pharmaceutical products by indulging my love of writing here. Add to that food, wine, a great husband, and that about sums it up. Sums 'it' not me. I'm way beyond that.

Word to the Wise

Copyright is a slippery bugger but here's my take: if it's in a post I wrote it (unless it is duly credited to someone else). If it is the Photo Opp it's my picture. Fashion photos come from style.com because they do it best and all other photo sources are noted.

I would be wildly flattered if you liked either my writing or photos enough to use so please feel free BUT give me credit. It's the right thing to do and it's seriously bad karma to steal people's stuff- even when on the internet. Plus it ages you.
