I’ve been feeling down lately. Not the clinically depressed kind of down. I’m not feeling agoraphobic. I’m not feeling paranoid. I’m not feeling scared to get out of bed. I’ve been there, done that, more than once. So I know what that feels like and I know it’s not that. No, instead I’m just feeling concerned/ worried about the future… Read more »
I am frequently told that I do not look my age. I do wonder if this is partly because I don’t ACT my age, but to be fair I’ve never been 52 before. But it is true that people usually guess my age around 10 years younger than I actually am. So today I’m going to share my secrets for… Read more »
I had a super fun, super busy weekend after a long and stressful week of work. I did not plan ahead very well, so I don’t have anything on deck ready to go. And tonight I am just too tired to think let alone compose a semi- intelligent set of sentences on a topic that’s been on my mind. We… Read more »
My husband Pat and I spent a few days in Miami at the end of June. We hit up an autograph show, we spent time with old friends, made new ones, and took in the sights. We had a great time! I was looking for just a nice getaway, and it was that for sure. But it turned out… Read more »
With a VERY few exceptions I hate shopping. I don’t mind grocery shopping and I’ll never turn down a trip to Ulta. But after that it tapers off pretty quickly. I don’t like shoe shopping. I have super high arches, so many slip on shoes and boots don’t fit me at all. I wear a size 9 1/2, which is… Read more »
I’m kicking myself like crazy today. Somehow I missed the memo that the Northern Lights would be visible in my neck of the woods this past weekend. I don’t know how I missed it because now it seems like it was EVERYWHERE. My allergies were kicking my ass most of the week, so maybe I was just in a Benadryl… Read more »
We’ve all seen corporate mission statements. Tesla’s is “to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy”. Google’s is “to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful”. Did you know that individuals can have mission statements too? This was a foreign concept to me until I went through my company’s leadership training program. Full disclosure- when this… Read more »
If you are reading this you know I’m a huge Miami Dolphins fan. If you didn’t know it before you knew it because you read my rant about my fellow fans I posted a couple months ago https://beckypalmer.me/?p=475 As you may or may not know, the last month of the season was pretty stressful for us Dolfans. The team caught… Read more »
I’m not a fan of New Years resolutions. Even less so for my blog than for myself. There are a few things that have always been true for my blog and will always be true: #1 I will never try to sell you anything. I am not going to put ads on my blog. I am not going to accept… Read more »
Maybe it’s me. Maybe I’m just a buzzkill. I recently had a birthday. I got grief for not making a big deal out of this. It wasn’t a big, round number- I turned 52. Not a big deal. I honestly forgot about it until the night before. No, I’m not trying to deny I’m getting older. It’s obvious when I… Read more »
