While I was driving home from work last night, I was stopped at a light behind two smokin’ hot cars. A blue Mustang and a silver Porsche, with a boy behind the wheel of each car. I was watching them at the light, stealing agressive sideways glances, just KNOWING they were going to slam on [...]

Why.

Just after I posted my “anti-moping” campaign, too…
I was on my way to my weigh-in last night when my older daughter called me, hysterical and unintelligible. When I finally got her calmed down, she told me that her boyfriend had just gotten done beating her up and throwing her against the walls in his apartment. [...]
Moping Happens

I have always believed, and still do, that all it takes to be happy is to just BE HAPPY. That’s it. Happiness is a choice, a conscious decision. It isn’t a natural state of being, you have to work at it and it won’t always be easy. You tell yourself to do it and on [...]
Scent Linked to Memory

This weekend, I found a new recipe for a potato salad that was full of crunchy veggies and sounded (and ended up being) absolutely lovely. It even called for me to make my own pickles, which didn’t scare me off because I love canning and preserving. Never mind the pickles were cold processed and required [...]
In the Dark

December 2006
I drove out to my country house last Friday night, and for whatever reason, I was so utterly unfocused that I drove right past my exit at Byers and ended up taking the scenic route (yes, in the dark. the pitch-black, really dark dark) all the way to Stratton. Yes, there are towns in [...]
Mom to the Rescue

My younger daughter and I spent the last 4 days at a camp for cheerleaders in Fort Collins, CO. She was having a great time on Friday, but Saturday morning, she had a mini meltdown and wanted to quit the squad. This is her first year doing anything remotely athletic, and it was heartbreaking to [...]
Downsizing

April 2006
This weekend, I’m going to spend some time figuring out how to downsize my life. Want less, buy less, work less, spend less. What I aim to gain is free time and sanity. That’s all, and that’s it.
I want more time for creative ventures. I want to write that book of short stories I’ve been meaning to [...]
Temper, Temper

February 2007
I have a hot and fiery temper, this is no big secret to anyone who knows me or to anyone who has been reading this blog for any length of time. The thing is, while I completely work the “hell hath no fury like a green eyed brunette” angle, my temper is extremely short [...]
Anger Bath

I’m feeling like a mile of bad road today, moody and quietly stewing. Sorry, I don’t have much at all positive to say, and I know that isn’t like me on here, but I’ll be darned if I can see one single good thing about life. Oh, alright, that’s a ginormous exaggeration, since I have SO [...]
Up

I bid on another job at the company where I work, mostly because I’m at a stalemate right now in the job I have. There is no place to grow or move up unless I move to another department. And the utter lack of creative outlet has really beaten the snot out of me for [...]
