Inside Out
Teresa Sharp
January 11, 2012

I wish that I could be so bold
To leave no secret left untold.
Again my heart does long to trust,
But woeful risk, upon will thrust.
And since it rent, it dare not plunge,
For pain of past it can’t expunge.
So, insecure and scared am I,
And deep within, my secrets lie.
What secrets, say you, lie within?
The whole of me, my all, my yin.
The outermost, I dare expose.
So, know me, some, I’m sure, suppose.
But keep the raw and intimate
Securely bound, without permit.

Perhaps one day my heart will pang
When brushed, though unaware, by yang.
And aimlessly, I may at last,
Perhaps undaunted, shed the past.
I cannot choose to make this so.
No strength have I to just let go.
My steadfast clasp cannot release.
Alone, my fears, I cannot cease.
Yet sweetly must it be unhinged,
And slowly, softly lest I cringe.
Attempting then, my heart repair,
To open tenderly with care.
Sincerest patience may amount
To gently draw my inside out.

Pip & Pinkle

Pip and Pinkle
by Mercedez Fernandez
     June 2011

Have you heard of Pip and Pinkle?
Pip and Pinkle made fun of Mr. Finkle!
Pip and Pinkle made fun of Mr. Finkle’s big wrinkle!

“Don’t make fun of my big wrinkle,” said Mr. Finkle to Pip and Pinkle.
Pip said, “Yes,” as he made a winkle at Pinkle, “We’ll not make fun of your big wrinkle.”
But Mr. Finkle saw Pip winkle!

So he made a trip to Pip and Pinkle’s.
“Instead, we’ll tinkle on Mr. Finkle,” said Pip to Pinkle.
In burst Finkle who heard Pip and Pinkle!
“Nobody will be making a tinkle,” said Mr. Finkle.

Pip and Pinkle looked at Finkle.
“Okay,” said Pip as he made a winkle at Pinkle,
“We won’t be making a tinkle on you, Mr. Finkle.

Mr. Finkle saw that winkle.
So, Mr. Finkle made a tinkle on Pip and Pinkle.

Now, that is why you do not be like Pip and Pinkle.
If you be like Pip and Pinkle and make fun of Mr. Finkle’s big wrinkle.
Then, Mr. Finkle will have to make another tinkle…

Straight from “102 Dalmations”

Posted on November 4, 2010 by Teresa

The other day Mercedez and I were at Dairy Queen. Before we went in we were petting the dogs through the window in the car parked next to us. We laughed at their bad 80′s hair do’s. As we were entering the restaurant a lady was coming out. Mercedez and I took one look at her hair and it was all that we could do to keep from busting out laughing. She had the exact same hair do! Classic case of pet/owner twins!

Dinner Theater Presents…

Posted on October 21, 2010 by Teresa

Feb 25, 2007

This is pretty typical dinner conversation around our table. However, this has to be the funniest dinner convo that we ever caught on video! I have a bunch of stand-ups…

The scene opens with Boston explaining the double piercings that dad has in his ear. Also Hunter tells us about her funny feet. Then Boston does the booger flick…


Lets try that again…


Next Hunter tells us about Lady Liberty and it’s origins…


Enter Mercedez. She attempts to wow us with her part about Abe Lincoln in the school play…


Then Hunter tells us what Abe is famous for…


Next the girls tell us a little bit about their favorite things and Boston introduces us to her butterflies…


And last, we have a special announcement for the girls…
