February was black/African American history month. Thanks Disney Junior for bringing up a whole can of worms for me to deal with in the middle of the day, you know when I have nothing going on..! My 6 year old looked at me blankly, said “Doc is African American?” and.. silence. Talk about having to … [Read more…]
At first there just was e-mail. It was really slow. I could connect with friends, and they’d write back, chat daily with little programs, before real life set in. Then jobs got in the way, we moved apart and never were quite the same. E-mails exchanged more slowly now, a reply every now and then. … [Read more…]
I think the lack of sleep and stress is getting to me. Twice now I’ve referred to someone I’ve known for 4 years by a different name. Also my fly keeps either not getting buttoned, or keeps coming down. I’ve lost a few pounds, so maybe it’s unzipping itself? More than one pair of pants … [Read more…]
I’m not sure I mean located, exactly. More like, mentally. Has your life changed a lot? I remember thinking as a newlywed (3 months married)… how could we ever have kids.. NOW?!? As time progressed and we got more used to life as it BECAME, not as it WAS… I guess we just grew into … [Read more…]

Lately, I feel like all I do is sit fences. One foot on one side. One foot on the other. Listening to the rodeo on one side, and the audience on the other. Sure there’s all manner of each type of folk-from clown (shudder) to gentry. I just don’t know enough about any one topic … [Read more…]
I was watching as on TV this mom of 2 (less than 2 years apart) who had just battled cancer and was wearing the same drab stuff day after day teared up, saying ‘I want to look better, but I don’t even see myself in the mirror’…and the person helping her (with a quick makeover) … [Read more…]
The answer is: not a whole lot. I’m behind in just about everything and trying not to let it get to me. I’m still fighting sinus issues that either leave me with a headache or raw throat or random sneezing that’s not a cold, not really anything, but just.. blech. Not enough to bother me, … [Read more…]
