Another clean-up, another poem found. This one was written on April 24, 1996. It features one of my favorite words at the time: wack. Reality I knew reality would come to me I knew someday I'd have to face facts But I never knew it would be so wack Knew you didn't belong to me… Continue reading A Poem – Week Twenty-Six
Author: Dimples
I am a huge Pretty Little Liars fan. I occasionally (or often) come across as a manic fan of the show due to a need to analyze every episode, character and spoiler. My blog's name (prettylittlemania.com) is inspired by an episode entitled "Mona-Mania" from the third season.
I also recently launched my second blog, dimplesandgrins.com, which is a joy seeking mission.
January Is National Blood Donor Month
Before my mother's health declined, I began telling the story of how I was hospitalized in September. This is the first time I have revealed why. After I checked in at the emergency room, the nurse took some of my blood. No one knew what was wrong with me, but figured out it wasn't my… Continue reading January Is National Blood Donor Month
Am I The Only One Who Is Glad Christmas Is Over?
Past years found me waking up early (yes, even in my thirties), excited to open presents. Like most people, I enjoy receiving presents. I also like giving presents and seeing the look on a person's face when they open a perfect, well thought out gift. This year could not have been more different. I woke… Continue reading Am I The Only One Who Is Glad Christmas Is Over?

A Poem For My Mother
My mother died in November. To say that I am heartbroken and devastated is an understatement. I wanted to write a poem to be included in her obituary. This was my first attempt, but not the one that wound up being included. I wanted to reflect how I felt about her, but I thought this… Continue reading A Poem For My Mother
A Poem – Week Twenty Five
Almost every time I clean out my closet, I run across a poem or some of my other writing. I found a single sheet of paper containing this poem. I'm not sure when it was written. Lost Love Dreams Are filled with you Love Is only for you Smiles When thinking of you Heart Pounds… Continue reading A Poem – Week Twenty Five
Book Review: Irresistible by Melanie Harlow
Amazon.com I went through a phase where I read six of Melanie Harlow's books back to back. I really liked her earlier books better than the more recent ones. Irresistible is much better than Only You, but the story still is lacking. Frannie has lived a super sheltered life. She was born with a heart… Continue reading Book Review: Irresistible by Melanie Harlow
Self-care is more than bubble baths and candles
In September, I had a health crisis. I hadn’t been taking care of myself and it caught up to me. I ended up needing to spend four days in the hospital. I knew something was wrong with me. I hadn’t felt like myself in months, but I kept ignoring it and hoping it would eventually… Continue reading Self-care is more than bubble baths and candles
Book Review: Heir of Fury by Jina S. Bazzar
I am little weird about reading the last book in a series. I used to gobble them up the minute they hit my Kindle. After too many book hangovers, I started savoring them a little bit more. I started reading Heir of Fury a while ago, pacing myself by only reading one or two chapters… Continue reading Book Review: Heir of Fury by Jina S. Bazzar
