Why is there a day for those dumb little paper stickers we all hate at meetings and reunions? It’s not REALLY about the tag, but rather the name itself. As more and more of our lives are in the cloud, we become less and less connected to the people right in front of us. Many of us don’t know the… Read more »
Some of my favorite days include the day Daylight Saving time ends, the first day of the NFL season, and Christmas. But today has become another one close to my heart.

I have said it before and I’ll say it again- 98% of the time having a pet is a wonderful experience, but that other 2% of the time will rip your heart out and stomp on it. It’s the circle of life. A couple months ago we lost our sweet kitty Pumpkin at the age of 16. We knew it… Read more »

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 »
Recently my husband asked me for my Social Security number. This isn’t too weird, but unusual enough that I asked why. Turns out it was because he was going to an informational class about preplanning his funeral/ cremation (still not 100% sure why he needed my SSN for that, but that’s neither here nor there).
