I usually have anywhere from 2 to 5 blog posts in various stages of undoneness just hanging out in my account. Sometimes I get several good ideas all at once. Sometimes I get stuck. Sometimes I can’t decide if it’s worth finishing. These half posts come in very handy on weeks when my mind just goes blank. But I’ve been… Read more »
Today is Aunt and Uncles Day! As someone who is childless by choice I love this one! I have a niece and nephew who I love dearly- the title photo is me with Ava 2 weeks ago at the live version of the Little Mermaid! I learned how to be such an awesome aunt from my own aunts and uncles!… Read more »
I am a pretty open book, both on my blog and in real life, I wear my heart on my sleeve and can’t lie my way out of a wet paper sack. But there are a few nooks and crannies in my life that have flown under the radar. Things like (in no particular order): #1 I had a nightlight… Read more »

Yet another holiday after my own heart- today is Geek Pride Day! This holiday was invented in Spain in 2006 on this day, which also marks the anniversary of the release of the first (technically third, but only geeks know that) Star Wars movie.

I am childless by choice. My husband is my partner and I am his- we are equals in our relationship. I have money and… Read more »
I mentioned a while back that I am taking a solo vacation next month here: http://beckypalmer.thecomputerguy.bz/2017/03/plan-a-solo-vacation-day/ My husband isn’t a big fan of Duluth MN, whereas I adore it, so I’m going there alone. To put it mildly, folks are freaking out over this. I’ve left coworkers speechless by simply mentioning it. My mother has expressed concern that I… Read more »
On April 14th I had the opportunity to attend the Women Empowering Women event in Cedar Falls. I was expecting to find some tidbits of knowledge that would be helpful for me in my career. I believe I found that. But, unexpectedly, I found far more. I found reassurance that it’s OK to take care of myself on my own terms…. Read more »
Due to my having been extraordinarily busy for the last 10 days my Monday post will appear on Tuesday this week. Thank you for your patience and I will try my best to make it work your wait!
Today is me and my husband Pat’s 11th wedding anniversary. Since I am over the age of 14 I don’t believe in “soul mates”, but if I did i would have to say he and I are pretty close to that. We almost never fight, and when we do it’s usually over and done with quickly. We like most of… Read more »
