First of all, I apologize for the long dry spell. August was very busy and just sort of got away from me without inspiration.With that in mind, my next statement will sound even crazier than normal.I have been thinking a lot lately about writing a book. For several years I have had one or two scenes very vividly in mind… Read more »
I’ve been a Weird Al fan for decades. Not only is he funny but he’s a really talented musician and song writer. Sadly, because of his chosen genre he doesn’t get the credit he deserves for either of these very real talents. Last week I got my very own copy of his newest album “Alpocalypse” and I have been enjoying… Read more »
I remember the summer my parents turned 40. My sister and I gleefully hung an “Over the Hill” banner in the front window, put rocking chairs on their birthday cake and gave them buttons that said “Middle Age is Marvelous”. My 16 year old self thought all of this was hilarious, but my current 39 year old self is less… Read more »
Recently my husband and I were out for drinks with another couple and the conversation turned to- of all things- Michael Jackson. The comment was made that since he never had a childhood he was emotionally stuck at 7 years old his entire life and there was nothing he could do about it.

One of the great things about being an adult is that some of your childhood wishes can come true. Granted, I will never get to be a world-famous artist, ballerina or brain surgeon. And some of the things I wanted when I was young I no longer want- like Guess jeans or a Barbie Dream House. Today I have used… Read more »
I can’t even Tweet! Not sure what’s going on but hope to be blogging again soon!
Tonight at my workplace there was a Chamber After Five event to celebrate the former owner’s 50 years of service to the company (he started as Controller in 1959 and is still on the board of directors today). 50 years. Just think about that. I cannot fathom being anywhere for 50 years. As much as I want to stay at… Read more »
I have a lot of thoughts/ pet peeves flying around my head right now so I’ve decided that instead of trying to pick one to flesh out into a full entry I will get them all out there at once. I will warn you now- I am all over the map here! #1. When did the kids I used to… Read more »
