Right now I am sitting in my favorite chair with my favorite kitty on my lap watching one of my favorite TV shows (Mercy). Granted, it’s Wednesday but I did this same thing last Friday too. And probably the Friday before that. Point is, I like being home any day of the week. Even on the weekends! There was… Read more »
Am I the only person on the planet who doesn’t get super excited about Halloween? When I was a kid Halloween was pretty much reserved for elementary aged kids. Adults stayed home and handed out candy to said kids when they knocked on their doors in costume. But now it appears that adults are more into Halloween than kids are!… Read more »
The title of this blog entry is borrowed from a Garth Brooks song (Papa Loved Mama). Happily, there is no connection between the events of his song (infidelity) and the events that lead me to this post. Most of us behave a certain way around our family and a different way around our friends- some of us more so… Read more »
It’s actually a warm kitty. I have one in my lap right now purring and if that isn’t contentment I don’t know what is. My baby girl Pumpkin is a constant course of happiness for me! All she wants is snuggle up with someone she loves and purr. I don’t think it’s possible to be stressed when you have that… Read more »
This morning I had to make a quick run to the local discount store because I had a washing machine full of soggy clothes and no laundry detergent. Oops! While I was there I heard a snippet of the song “My Way” that has been recorded by many people over the years, mostly famously Frank Sinatra. Since my brain loves… Read more »
I am taking part in a 6 week team building training class at work. Today we talked about different personality types and how to work with people who are different than you and we took a personality test. One thing that was cool about this particular test that there were two parts to it- one for your work personality… Read more »
I am currently (hopefully) recovering from a bout with viral gastroenteritis. I will spare the gory details but let’s just say the highlight of my day so far as been that I have been able to eat a handful of crackers without any major ill effects. While at my doctor appointment yesterday the nurse read in my chart that I… Read more »
I seem to have stumbled upon the secret for getting TONS of feedback (mostly via email and Facebook) on my blog. I had no idea how many people had such strong feelings about Homecoming antics! While I still disagree with most of you on this one I am very grateful and thankful for ALL of your comments and thoughts…. Read more »
I need someone to explain to me- in very small words- why vandalism in the name of tradition has become socially acceptable. This week is homecoming in several area towns and along with that is miles and miles of toilet paper strewn into every tree in sight. I have been told it’s harmless fun. No, it isn’t. Go ask… Read more »
I have had the Randy Travis song (recently remade by Carrie Underwood) “I Told You So” stuck in my head for 2 days now. And the worst part is that it’s Carrie’s version that’s lodged in my brain trying to drive me slowly insane. Don’t get me wrong- I think Carrie Underwood is very talented- but I just don’t think… Read more »
