Namastop? Hope not!

      2 Comments on Namastop? Hope not!

Over the years I’ve started so many exercise regimens that I’ve lost count.  Some lasted weeks, sometimes I would stay with it for a few months, but nothing stuck.  Alas, I am living proof that doing something for 90 days is NOT long enough to make it a permanent change in your life. I’ve joined gyms thinking that if I… Read more »

Thank You

      No Comments on Thank You

Thank you for not laughing too hard at the pity party I was having for myself last week.  I am feeling much better now.  To continue that theme I am counting a few of the perhaps more obscure of my many blessings.  I usually do this in November, but there is always, always something to be thankful for. Today I… Read more »

Ugh.

      No Comments on Ugh.

I am well aware that it’s been over a month since I last posted.  It’s not for lake of trying.  I’ve just been annoyed with social media in general.  All the hate from BOTH sides of any of the current political debate is enough to may me want to spend the rest of my phone contract playing Candy Crush. So… Read more »

19 Kids and No Longer Counting

OR, Why this Christian isn’t sad the Duggars got cancelled and why you shouldn’t be either. I am simply astounded on the number of people who are upset by the cancellation of “19 Kids and Counting”.  I do not share this opinion and I’m going to explain why. Please note that all of this information about the Duggars and their… Read more »

We are Family

      No Comments on We are Family

The word “family” gets tossed around very casually these days.  How often have we heard someone referring to their “work family” or their “(insert name of hobby here) family”?  And what does that usually mean?  Just a group of people who you like and/ or spend a lot of time with.  Or, what we used to call “friends”.  To me,… Read more »

Why so serious?

      No Comments on Why so serious?

I bought myself a coloring book last week.  It’s full of beautiful drawings of cats in intricate surroundings.  My husband thought it was a gift for my niece who turns four today, but nope, it’s for me.  And I am loving it.   It’s just one example of me not taking myself too seriously.  It’s a skill that took time,… Read more »

The Dope Show

      No Comments on The Dope Show

As far as I can tell, one of two things is currently plaguing the GOP.  Either they have the most inept polling and PR agencies in the history of the universe, or they have polling and PR agencies that are actively out to destroy them.  These are the only explanations that make sense to me.   As I’ve stated many… Read more »

Things that make you say “meh”.

      1 Comment on Things that make you say “meh”.

One of the only good things I’ve found so far about getting older is that the number of things that really piss me off has gone down exponentially.  It takes a lot more to get me fired up now that it did 20 or even 5 years ago.  Along with the proper medication I like to think I’m mellowing with… Read more »

I’m Home

      1 Comment on I’m Home

“Are you going home for (insert name of holiday here)?”  It’s a pretty common question asked of those of us who don’t currently live within a stone’s throw of the house they grew up in. What is “home”? Nine years ago my husband and I got married and I moved in with him.  We live in the house he grew… Read more »
