Hi 16 year old me. It’s 51 year old me. I’m writing you to tell you not to give up. I know things REALLY suck right now. You’re getting bullied as school. You don’t know where you want to go to college. Your best friend seems to hate you half the time. You feel like you are all alone and… Read more »
Some days you just need to curl up in a ball and stay in bed. Today has been one of those days for me. It’s partly physical and partly mental, but either way, I’m not in the headspace to write. Love to all and I’ll be back next week.
We just celebrated Thanksgiving, so everyone is (or at least should) be thinking about everything they have to be thankful for. It’s been a lot time since I’ve done a thankful list, so I think it’s high time to rectify that! Please note these are in no particular order 🙂 #1 Pat. My husband is my best friend and my… Read more »
Today is the third in a series (for lack of a better term) of things you probably don’t know about me! And sure, someone reading this will probably know most of these, but don’t spoil the fun! #1 I hate both heat indexes and wind chills. They are both imaginary numbers. They don’t mean anything. If someone asks you the… Read more »
Some people associate fall with road trips to view changing leaves. Some people associate fall with kids going back to school. Some people associate fall with the harvest. I associate fall with football. I am a huge Miami Dolphins fan. I honestly don’t really remember exactly how my love of this team came to be, but I believe it was… Read more »
There are times when writer’s block is strong. When I stare at a blinking cursor and wonder why on Earth I tell people I love blogging (even though I really do). When this happens I tend to Google things like “fun blog post ideas”. This rarely leads to a good idea, but hope springs eternal. Today one of the lists… Read more »
I LOVE this one! Today is Embrace your Geekiness day! I could argue that I do this every day. I play clarinet in multiple municipal bands. I fan-girl over Mythbusters (that’s me with host Adam Savage in the pic). I have a (mostly) useless BS in Biology. I used to be my family’s tech support person – thankfully my husband… Read more »
Life is full of milestone events. Graduations. Weddings. Births. Retirement. At all of these events- and many others- people love to offer advise. Some of it is good. Some of it is bad. Some of it is REALLY bad. I’ve gotten my share of bad advise in my life, and hopefully I can keep others from being the victim of… Read more »
This isn’t the post I was planning on writing this weekend. But I was slapped upside the head with a realization this week I can’t ignore. My parents are getting old. I try to ignore this most of the time. I am blessed with parents who are in very good health for their age (they are both 75). We have… Read more »
God knows there are all kinds of things to be mad about right now. And I am. But, I got absolutely clobbered by a mystery bug last week. I’m on the mend but still just exhausted and can barely complete a sentence, let alone anything longer. For now, I ask everyone to donate to Planned Parenthood. They need it now… Read more »
