If you’ve ever met me or read my blog you are well aware of my long-standing love affair with Bon Jovi. And so of course I had to get their Greatest Hits album and of course I had to get the “Ultimate” 2 CD version! So, for the past 3 weeks I have been listening this 2 CD set pretty… Read more »
One of the many things that have frustrated me lately is the failure of society as a whole to concentrate on the real problems we are facing as a country and a planet and instead to spend countless hours on things that really aren’t all that important. Granted, it’s not all our fault. In the most recent round of elections… Read more »
I have said “Can’t we all just get along??!?!” many times and not as a joke. I don’t know why people have to get so up in arms over their position on, well, just about anything, that they cannot have a calm, reasonable discussion with other adults about them. Granted, I have been known to get a little overheated on… Read more »
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.

I did some power shopping and actually found pants that fit me- which is quite a challenge for a 6 foot tall woman. I had 2 moments on this excursion that I wasn’t expecting… Read more »
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 »
Tomorrow is Mission Festival again. I can’t believe it’s already been a year since #1 I went last time and #2 since I started blogging. I don’t know that’ I’ve gotten any better at blogging than I was when I started. I do think it’s cool that I’ve actually managed to stick with it for a year- I am really… Read more »
