Day 25 Lizards do it. Squirrels do it. Even baby lemurs do it. So, I am too … taking a flying leap, that is. It’s Leap Year Day … so, I’m leaping. I’m leaping at the opportunity for change and … Continue reading →

Day 24 Thanks Dad. Thanks Grandma. It’s really sad when the defining characteristic which determines your heritage is … your knees. Sad. Very sad. And sadder still is that when standing side-by-side with your friend (who will remain nameless for her sake), both … Continue reading →

Day 23 Oh dear. Yeah … that’s about as nice as I can put it at the moment. I decided, on some ridiculous whim, to take a jaunt over to the local “mall” this past weekend. It’s not much of … Continue reading →

Day 22 Today is Thank a Friend Day. No, it’s not. But for me … it is. Friend: ally, buddy, chum, companion, pal, playmate, sidekick. However you say it – it still means a friend. Friend: a person whom one knows, likes … Continue reading →

Day 21 I hate cancer. Plain and simple … I do. And I can’t do anything about changing my view. I know hating something is toxic … not good for the body … definitely not good for the soul. But … Continue reading →

Day 20 I am sleeping. Well, not at this moment – wouldn’t that be a trick! But, at night, I am sleeping! Sleeping like a baby! Well, not sleeping like any baby I’ve ever had –  my kids didn’t sleep through … Continue reading →

Day 19 Saying, “It’s been windy.” would be an understatement. Yelling out, “IT’S BEEN WINDY!!!!” … would be closer to the truth. And one thing I know for certain … I hate wind. I was out last night with the dog in … Continue reading →

Day 18 I have a labrador retriever … Moby. Queen Mobius. Mobius the Wonder Lizard. The Wild Nibbler. Mobes. She is the mother of 30 babies … 3 litters in 3 years by some breeder up in the mountains. We … Continue reading →

Day 17 Hmmm … if someone asked me if I knew how to oil wrinkles I’d tell them, “Sure … I oil my own nightly. I’m a pro at this!” Seriously, if putting WD-40 on them would make them less apparent, I’d do so. … Continue reading →

Day 16 TJ’s sets hearts aflutter, sends tingles down the spine, has been known to make grown women (and men) swoon and drool. TJ’s … (not to be confused with JT aka. James Taylor, although he might do all those things) … is … Continue reading →

Day 14 I need a housekeeper. I’ve been saying it for years now. It’s not that I don’t do it … and it’s not that I don’t get satisfaction out of doing it … and it’s not even that I don’t … Continue reading →

Day 12 I am a catalog junkie. In nicer terms, and according to my postman, I am the Catalog Queen. I can go days without getting nary a one … and then there are days when the post office truck … Continue reading →

Day 11 It’s that time of year when the Home and Garden Shows, like early spring flowers, start popping up at convention centers across the country. It’s also that time of year – a mere 35 days until Spring (unless you are in … Continue reading →

Day 9 I like music. I remember dancing in my living room when young to Peter, Paul and Mary or Harry Belafonte. Those records were played over and over and over again. Old favorites. My dad had a reel-to-reel tape recorder, a … Continue reading →

Day 7 I think my best thoughts while in the shower. I don’t know if it’s the aromatherapy from the shampoo, body wash and soap or if my body consists of more water than is normal (which is roughly 60% … Continue reading →

Day 6 I’m not a gourmet. I’m not a gourmand. Far from either – however, I do like to eat. And though I’m pretty simple in my tastes it doesn’t mean I’m all plain and simple or that I don’t appreciate a … Continue reading →

Day 5 It’s nearly midnight and I choose to write instead of getting ready for bed. Not necessarily sleep – because I haven’t been doing much of that lately. I have back issues. I have six animals. I have fur floating … Continue reading →

Day 4 It’s refreshing when you can laugh at yourself … especially when you freak out … for no good reason. Today I did just that. I hate squirrels. Let me resay that … I HAVE squirrels. And let me … Continue reading →

Day 2 It’s snowing. I’m up in my second floor office looking west onto the park that lies within mere inches of my windowsill. Well, from here it looks like it’s mere inches – but in reality – you have to … Continue reading →

Day 1: If I didn’t know better … and if the bottle of hair dye was still not on my bathroom counter … I’d think I had leprosy. Seriously. How hard is it to dye one’s hair without also getting … Continue reading →

Hi and welcome to my blog! Yay … I’m finally up! For a long time now I’ve been playing with the idea of writing a blog … and well, finally here I am! I am challenging myself to become a … Continue reading →
