Just about this time last year I had a great idea for a series of blog posts. I had been all single girl, girl power, makingitonmyownjustfinethankyouverymuch for quite a while, and the question on the tip of everyone’s tongue was, annoyingly enough, “So, are you dating?” So I thought to myself, I shall sign up […]
In an attempt to make the most of my extra hour today I did some purging around the house. (To be totally honest I slept through the extra hour…and maybe a couple of other hours…but THEN I wanted to be productive.) I started out innocently putting the Halloween decorations away. Then I saw the extra trick […]
You may find yourself living in a shotgun shack And you may find yourself in another part of the world And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile You may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife You may ask yourself, “Well, how did I get here?” And […]
I had an job interview last Friday (yay!) About 95% of it went great – exactly the kind of conversation that rises above the rigid Question and Answer format that makes me cringe as I pretend to have fascinating things to say about “a time when I faced a challenge and overcame it.” I mean, […]

My son, Tater, seems to be in a constant growth spurt. It seems that purchasing him new pants really makes those hormones kick into gear and within mere weeks, the pants that fit – or even seemed too long – are suddenly three inches too short. I don’t even see it happening. Every time I […]
On February 9, 2010 as part of my 43 Resolutions project (sad, failed, abandoned project) I wrote: Maybe each person only gets so much good stuff and if you try to get more than what you’ve got coming, you lose somewhere else.

I am not a fan of danger. Or fear. Some people are exhilarated by danger. It energizes them. Pushes them on to bigger and better things. These are the people who go to Haunted Houses and horror movies. For fun. I am not one of those people. Me? I just get scared. Immobilized. I know […]
