With all the negativity circulating social media and most often in my morning news feed, I made a couple of self-preservation decisions. One was to start my morning with coffee and my journal. In other words, I don’t start my day reading the stuff that gets my blood pumping. I’m journaling “almost” regularly now, like … Continue reading Honoring Friends

Three Times I’ve Felt Blessed
When I really, really knew. I’m talking profound, existential moments. The first time it hit me, really hit me, I was on a flight home from Santa Barbara. I’d been in California visiting a long-time, on again-off again boyfriend. What was different about this trip, as opposed to a handful of others to San Diego … Continue reading Three Times I’ve Felt Blessed
Because Not Everybody Is Celebrating
The 20th day. Present situation.
I Met Elvis at the Grocery Store
This is me. Saturday Todd and I ventured out to the Happiest Place on Earth - Home Depot. We needed spackling paste and I wanted to buy paint for the guest room, which I ended up not being able to decide on because there’s 50 shades of the color I like. I stood in front … Continue reading I Met Elvis at the Grocery Store
6 Things They Say We Gotta Do, Todd!

She fled the house … Continue reading The Grilled Cheese Incident
In Mysterious Ways
It’s been a difficult couple of days. Without too many details, I haven’t been feeling well and it’s not contagious and I need to call a doctor this morning. And, like the icing on the proverbial cake, my anxiety is off the charts. Watching real-time television is not recommended during these times. Last weekend we … Continue reading In Mysterious Ways
2016 – A Year in Review
Todd and I finally got our vacation! We took several days at the beach and had a wonderful time. Veruca finished her last year in elementary school and began her middle school career. Much to my surprise, she returned to Cheer again last fall. After struggling for the last two years like a small boat … Continue reading 2016 – A Year in Review
Three Days In, and I’m Stabby
I had planned a nice New Year post or two – you know, reflecting on 2016 and then looking ahead to 2017 and possible resolutions. But, it happened again… PMS rolled in like that relative everybody hates to spend the holidays with and now I’m p-o’d and blocked. It all started Saturday morning. Or, maybe … Continue reading Three Days In, and I’m Stabby
