I’m feeling some pressure to post something here, even though I have virtually nothing of value or interest to share. This has probly happened only a couple of times since I started blogging. That’s frightening to me. What if I wake up some day and REALLY don’t have ANYTHING to say???!!!
Speaking of [...]

Klaxons - It’s Not Over Yet - Official Music Video
I’ve been back and forth with this band, like some of their stuff, not all. But I’m really liking this video. And the song is growing on me. I do know one thing, these guys are way easy on the eyes [...]

I haven’t been here much lately and I hope you didn’t miss me. Wait. Yeah, I hope you did. I missed you.
Anyway, I’ve been busy evacuating. And I don’t mean getting the hell outta Dodge. And you must congratulate me because due to all this, it’s official- No one can [...]

Not sure where it came from, but I found myself asking co-workers the other day what their favorite prize was to find in their Cracker Jacks when they were little. I remember getting overly-excited about finding one of them there red and yellow whistles in mine. Temporary tattoos were always fun too. [...]

… it started out a pretty day and then a storm blew up and the pretty arbor I’d decorated with silk flowers blew over. Thanks, Hazel for putting it back up.
…. the upstairs bathroom pipes broke and all the water came through the kitchen ceiling. Thanks, PD, for fixing that.
… the Justice of the Peace [...]

There are certain milestones in each of our lives that demand attention and recognition. One of those is the occasion on which we turn 21 years old and in essence, become an adult. (Or as some people might note, when one becomes of legal drinking age. In which case, I would encourage one [...]

Taking full advantage of a beautiful morning, waking up on the back porch with coffee and web-surfing capabilities. I’ve visited with 3 people online, two neighbors and one husband so far and didn’t have to even stand up. Called and scheduled two medical appointments and am going to call me mum here in [...]

Sometimes life has a way of gettin’ ahead of you and the best you can do is just hold on tight and go with it. Things happen that you have no control over. Other things pop up that you’re just not emotionally equipped to deal with, no matter how hard you try.
I’m, at [...]

When I first met PD, he was way into martial arts, self-defense and all that. He always stressed to me how important it is to be aware of your surroundings at all times. To make mental notes of exit doors, dark areas where bad people could be lurking, alternate “escape” routes, things like that. He [...]

I thoroughly enjoyed reading all the comments on my previous post about Lester’s quote. Most of you (Jeff!) put thought and heart into your answers. It got me thinking, though, about each of our definitions of what “cool” means.
I’ve always aspired to “be cool.” Didn’t care if I turned out to be especially [...]

My daughter “Jujubee” Jenny is 30 another year older today. Saturday, Miss Madeline turned 3. I just want to wish them both Happy Birthdays and let them both know that they are the two most beautiful young ladies in the whole, entire world and I love them with all my heart and soul.

Ten years ago today, my father died. It’s very, very hard for me to believe that it has been ten whole years that I’ve been rattling around in this world without listening to his jokes or seeing his handsome face.
One of my favorite things in the whole world was watching my dad being all [...]

I’m so excited. Last night was the first time this year that I was able to go to sleep with the windows open and oh my goodness, I love that so much! I woke up with the early morning sun shining in my face, the birds singing and the sweet smells of freshly [...]

Having traveled to NY to see the kids this past weekend, there are a few things I’ve noticed and feel compelled to share with y’all. Some are personal, some are universal. Any offenses are purely coincidental and (of course) not intentional.
People who drive Dodges are the slowest drivers in the world. No. [...]

I been totally busy the last few days getting our hurricane aftermath house back in order after making our new living room and the guest room for the grandkids. The little spare room which used to house the monstrous computer desk and all it’s craziness, a single bed, a nightstand, PD’s stereo and a zillion [...]

Just out of curiosity, coupled with my own masochistic tendencies, I’m going to try to post a picture using the new WordPress handy, dandy “Add Media” option. This could seriously change my life! Or send me deeper into the depths of depression… ;-) Wish me luck.

I’m waiting for a couple more responses to the “two groups” question for the sake of drawing some parallels maybe… but in the mean time, I’ll share this little story.
Bit of background first: You remember the dreaded medication I was on that made me mildly postal AND increased the hot flashes a hundredfold? Well, George, [...]

Well, isn’t this just a fine How-dee-doo. I guess you are going to have to exercise your index fingers and go here to watch the video for my favorite song of the week. It seems You Tube is now part of the conspiracy to drive me nutz. Let me know how you [...]

My Sweet Leetle Seester Hazel is scheduled to have surgery tomorrow (Tuesday) morning. She’s got a herniated disc and is having that nifty surgery where they go in through your neck and I think, replace the bulging disc with a piece of cadaver bone that acts as a plate. (The link may not [...]

My poor mom called me when I got home from work today to ask if she’d left a shopping bag in my car. Seems one of her purchases was missing but showed up on her receipt from the store where I’d dropped her off while I returned PD’s movies.
I checked my backseat and trunk [...]

If you’re reading this and there’s a possibility that I don’t have your birthday on my calendar, please go back to yesterday’s post and leave it there for me. Shanks.
To give a little background on the kind of day I had, I’ll tell you… I’m back on “Those Pills” again. The ones that make [...]
Okay, so maybe I had the means to post while in NY but not the inclination. I was busy reading assorted books with Julian, having tea with Madeline and dancing with Drew. We had a really nice time with the JuJu’s despite the cold temperatures and the speed with which the weekend flew. It seemed [...]

Packing up and heading North for the weekend. Despite the foreboding weather forecast which is calling for snow, snow, and more snow.
Note to self: Pack long underwear, mittens, and those nifty little hand-warmer gel-pak thingies.
See you Tuesday. Oh wait! I have a laptop now. Maybe before that

Some of my angst is a result of conflicting emotions. That’s nothing new for me, I can remember feeling “torn” for most of my life. One of the reasons I have such a hard time making decisions is that because most of the time I can see both sides of every issue. [...]

It’s setting in. I feel it. No more Christmas cards in the mail. Just bills. No more yummy homemade cookies in the cupboard. Just Oreos. No good excuses to pour a drink. Except maybe ennui. No more pretty packages to open. Just trying to find a [...]

Didn’t mean to alarm anyone or seem overly dramatic. This is something I experience every now and then. And not by choice, obviously. I attribute it to several factors. These days (meaning the past couple of years) a very big part of it is age and hormones. Which is something I just [...]

… was one of my favorite TV shows when I was 10 or 11 years old. It was on Wednesday nights which was my parents’ bowling night. My five brothers and sister and I would be home with a sitter. I don’t recall what all of them would be doing, but I would be glued [...]

I have fourteen nephews. Several of them I’ve lost touch with since I divorced my first husband. One of them has recently come back into my life and I’m very happy about that. There is no particular reason for this reacquaintance other than the fact that he picked up the phone a [...]
