What Is Your Idea of Perfect Happiness? in Daily Writing
Perfect happiness is a difficult term to define. It largely depends on your idea of perfection, and that can vary as much as the idea of happiness can. For me, the only kind of perfect is imperfe...
The Irish Dancers in Daily Writing
Stepping into the convention center struck me. From a world of ugg boots, center parts, and debating whether skinny jeans were still in style, I landed in a world of sparkle with hair bigger than...
Crafting in Daily Writing
I craft. Those two words seem so simple in combination, but they mean so much more. What does “crafter” mean? I knit and sew. I embroider. Those words are plain, simplistic, bland. What does it m...
The 1830s Habit Shirt in Daily Writing
I’m undertaking a new project. It’s called a “habit shirt” but I’m not entirely sure what that means. I saw the diagrams, detailing some fairly simple shapes, and read the very vague instructions...

Today I went to a service dog meetup at the mall. It was my first ever service dog meetup. Mind you, I’ve met up with other service dog teams before, but never like this. It’s always either be...
At Least It's Not Just Me? in Service Dog
There was a video today in the local service dog meetup group. It was about a dog that was super aggressive and hostile at the mall. Not only was the dog hostile, but so was the handler, insist...
I'm Sorry But... in Service Dog
So, the other day I was kicked out of another restaurant. It’s really getting old. It’s all because I have a service dog and I try to go to places that are small, local, and ethnic. Apparently...
Ejected in Service Dog
Today was a first. I actually got kicked out of a store because of my service dog. No, it’s not because she was acting up, causing a scene, or damaging anything. She was just minding her own b...
