I’m taking Ryan’s challenge to write a list of 100 lifetime goals and dreams. To quote Ryan: “These are by no means exhaustive, but are they are things I’d like to do/be/buy/give/see”. Oh, and at least 10 of the things on the list are to be completed in 2009. I thought it would be much … Read More
From Kirk
Before I tell you what DIY Guy bought me for Christmas, I think you should have some background information. In December, 1983 I was slightly behind schedule for my morning drive to work in Binghamton, NY. Slightly behind schedule means I didn’t take time to buckle my seatbelt. In the early 80’s seatbelt use was … Read More
Trying to breathe
I’m stressed tonight. Not because of work. More because I’m trying to work through my issues of being an introvert in an extrovert world — and how I am perceived by others. You see, I’ve been told numerous times that I am perceived to be unapproachable & intimidating….often from people at church. I’m weary, stressed, discouraged. I’m weary … Read More
Worth getting up for
Yesterday I told you I have undiagnosed ADD, and that one of the symptoms of ADD is forgetting appointments. I forgot to mention that particular “forgetting” symptom also includes showing up at your 7:15 am appointment (that you awoke at 5:30 AM for) on the WRONG DAY! My appointment is TOMORROW morning!

I avoid … Read More
“Old School”

I recently posted some (embarrassing) old school stuff here from my high school years, and even some of drummer boy’s old school (literally) stuff here. It’s hard to read, but the date on … Read More

I like cold cereal.
As a young/new mom I was very careful to avoid giving my children any of the sugary cereals. Cheerios & Kix — that was it. I was a hypocrite mom — because I ate the “bad” sugar cereals while depriving my children of them. I grew up with the likes of Lucky Charms, Captain Crunch, Frosted Flakes, … Read More
Crappy day
Blech. I hate it when the nasty funk-monster takes up residence in my psyche. Never appearing all at once in a sudden attack – the funk-monster always creeps in inch by inch, thought by thought, barely noticed until all the sudden the tears are barely held back by the eyeball. That’s what’s happened over the … Read More
