My dogs need therapy…

It’s been one of those weeks… you know what I mean. A week when you can’t bear to watch the news anymore but you must — you must. A week when you want to talk to every person you’ve ever befriended and tell them how great they are. A week when you want to assume [...]

One Last Trip

Recently, I realized I’ve turned into my father. Yes, I know this is odd. I’ve also turned into my mother and possibly my grandmother… there’s that uncle too. Anyway, I discovered my transformation into my father while I was at the grocery store. It’s Christmas you see. This means that everyone completely loses all ability [...]

I’m Too Tired For Any More.

I’ve had to explain many things lately, things I don’t have an explanation for — this, of course, makes explaining them… well, impossible. It’s wearing me out, it’s making me tired — I’m very tired. I’ve written a lot this week — three blog posts that stripped me emotionally and left me weary and filled [...]

Follow Friday, Friend Request, and Dinner Dates

I remember being in 7th grade. Each home room had to elect a president at the beginning of the year (I think the major duty was carrying notes to the office), it was a scary time. The first year of middle school — just out of elementary school. There were many new kids from other [...]

I Don’t Know Why

I have a friend (I love saying that even though we’ve never actually met), she’s a writer — a real writer. Like a kick-ass-slap-you-in-the-face-and-make-you-stand-up-straight writer. Her mother died recently, a long drawn out emotionally draining death to that bitch cancer. But here’s my take-away on a piece of this… she’s writing. And it’s amazing. And [...]

The Money Jar

I’ve been in between pay checks since May. That’s a long time to be in between paychecks. This seems to be one of the other things that isn’t really clear about divorce — you have to learn to live on your own… financially. Everything was working out well until the last week (that’s usually the [...]

Easily Forgotten

Audio — Easily Forgotten <~~~ Disclaimer! This is my first attempt at an audio recording and it didn’t actually work. That Is All! I rarely have trouble remembering the people who have passed through my life and left their mark on me. It’s not often that I forget the things they said or the things [...]

(Strange) Laughter is Best

A card arrived in the mail today. I’ve been receiving so many cards and letters lately from friends, because I’m a (semi) card person now, that I didn’t even look at who it was addressed to — I assumed it was me. I looked at who had sent it. I recognized the last name… it [...]

Something About The Movies

I had a wonderful “girls day out” with my youngest daughter recently. We started the day at the grocery store — never too thrilling of a time I guess, unless you’re six and there with your mom. I remember my trips to the grocery store with my mom… I remember it being fun and adventurous. [...]

“… when you’re fast asleep.”

I think, honestly, the dreams we have when we are sleeping fall into an area of “must have’s”. You must have dreams — occasionally at least. Dreams seem to be something, good or bad, that we need to help level out our waking hours. I think dreams can enlighten us, entertain us, confuse us, scare [...]
