The noose draws tighter--the Christmas Eve noose, that is. Only seven more days left for Fio to decorate the house and the driveway. Send your energy vibes her way.

The yardman cut down two dead trees on our property, doubling our supply of firewood. It's the right thing to do. Fio is always saddened by the sight of broken and fallen trees on the side of the road. Leaving arboleal corpses to rot in the rain is a disrespectful and a waste of natural resources.

Fiorella appreciates the fact that plastic ornaments can last forever, but she prefers the limited lifespans of the traditional glass ornaments. Their very fragility makes them more precious.

Keeping Up with Fiorella
Fiorella must be entering her second childhood-she's skinned her knee like when she was a kid and always had skinned knees. Then, suddenly, when she turned five, she didn't.

Fio's experience with the scamming handyman reminds her of her experience with a scamming yardman several years ago. The good thing is that she now has a really great yardman and, after she told her story to the septic tank man, he gave her the name of a dependable handyman whom he has known for years. And, speaking of the septic tank man, he too, is dependable.

After many failed attempts at entering the Romance Writer's of America's published author contest, Fio finally pulled a PDF off the site and faxed it to Houston, Wish her well.

Easter Bunny List
Fiorella expects Peeps, marshmallow eggs, and LOTSA chocolate for Easter, but she's also taping another list to the handle of her pink and purple basket.
Fio wants a maid to keep the house clean and in order, preferably once a week, And she wants a yardman, ditto. And an accountant to handle the taxes and take care of the bills. She also wants a driver, on call at all times, because she herself is erratic behind the wheel. Oh, and an IT person who could nip her frequent computer problems in the bud.
All of whom would work gratis of course, for the sheer pleasure of Fiorella's company.
