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 »
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 »
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 »
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.

I’m in a rather somber mood today. I’ve just come home from a visitation for a 27 year old woman who was killed in a car accident caused by icy roads. Even though we live in a digital world, hundreds of people were waiting 2 hours plus to personally greet Amy’s family and offer their condolences. So, let’s… Read more »

I still believe everything I said in those posts- I still consider myself a Christian and a political moderate and I still love men. That being said, the following are facts that, in the year 2015, NO ONE, regardless of gender, religion, or political affiliation should… Read more »
Happy 2015! I’m not one for making resolutions or the like in January, but good luck to you if you are of that nature. I AM however hoping to become a little more regular of a blogger again this year, in spite of the fact that I waited until the 17th day to even log in to the darn thing!… Read more »
I know of several people who are working on the “642 things to write about” list. As of yet I haven’t taken that plunge, even though it might help me blog more than once a quarter. Nope, what’s on my mind today is the Apollo moon landings. As much as I’d like to I am not going to rant… Read more »
