I’ve lived in small rural towns all my life until I moved to a small city and I still get excited when I see signs of wildlife in the city. This picture is from Iowa City where apparently bald eagles are common. Bald eagles?!? I can just imagine the old ladies who feed the pigeons in the park throwing fish bits to a flock of eagles. My city never gets that cool. Though, every once in awhile I see a coyote.

When I was young, my family lived out in the middle of the desert so I would see jackrabbits, cattle, vultures, spiders, snakes, and various rodents on a daily basis. One horrible anecdote about that house I have is the night that I woke to find two wolf spiders walking across my back. I may not miss the spiders, but it gets depressing sometimes without my animal neighbors.

My guilty pleasure is celebrity gossip.

Maybe it is in my blood because my grandmother has a excellent collection of old National Enquirers going back into the 70s in the attic. I would go to the store with her and we would get an issue and she would read it while I colored in my high chair. I fit into that thing until I was eight and I was so sad when I finally had to sit in a real chair.

Give me a celebrity blog and I’m a content. Add in some Milano cookies and I’ll have a nice little afternoon.

Anyone else want to confess their own guilty pleasure?
