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 [...]

I found a guy. I’m going just a little crazy over him. I’m not sure how I found him, maybe by the end of this post I’ll remember.
He’s a musician, and as I tend to do, I’m becoming obsessed with him. Or his music, rather, (although he is “my type.” 
I [...]

Wishing everyone a safe, dry (maybe even sunny) and happy holiday.
Not to appear unpatriotic (because I am… but I felt it necessary to include this little snippet, courtesy of Urban Dictionary’s Word of the Day:

(CAUTION: Major Venting Ahead)
I have been so ridiculously busy, preoccupied and stressed lately and I’m feeling that I’ve neglected my poor blog. I’ve had so much to write and it’s all been swirling around in my head and, much to my chagrin, lots of it has either gotten forgotten or grown into something that now [...]

… 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.

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 [...]

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 [...]

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.

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 [...]

I’ve been all over the place the past few days and my little “Home Away From Home” here was feeling neglected. I was on and off but that jumping thing had me logging out more often than usual. That and Life. And today it was Beautiful Sunshine and warmer temperatures that kept [...]

I should have done this at the beginning of the year, but I din’t . So I’m doing it now. Putting birthdays in my datebook. I have quite of few of them already but some I’m not sure of. If you would like to share your birthday, please leave it in the comments. I can’t [...]

Today marks another very special occasion. It is Jeff A’s birthday. I would like to wish him a really great day.
Of all my blogging buddies, I’m pretty sure Jeff and I go back the furthest. I used to read Rude Cactus daily. I would always read the comments because usually they [...]

Every now and then I meet up with another person and things just click. It might be a little click at first but after a very little while it becomes obvious that it’s a big, loud click. That’s when I think, gee, knowing this person is going to be an adventure.
The really cool [...]

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 [...]

… 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 [...]

Sit down here on my knee.
I’m not flirting with you. I don’t have time for that. And I’m also not fishing to find out what I can buy you for Christmas. I just want to know what you might like to find under your tree on Christmas morning. You needn’t be philosophical or idealistic or [...]

Dear Somebody,
Evidently you have admired the beautiful Christmas tree that we proudly display this time of year in our front yard for passersby to enjoy. It’s a lovely white tree, about six feet tall adorned with tiny twinkle lights in the most beautiful shade of blue. It’s not a vivid blue but a [...]

I found my card box. What a relief that was. We’d been doing some insulating in the attic last Spring and some things got moved around. I have a Christmas corner in the attic. I’m guessing the box got moved because it was labeled “GLASS-Fragile” and not “Christmas Cards.” So it was in a different [...]

I’m not finding much time to write here or do much visiting with you. We’re trying to get the kitchen presentable for Christmas, shoveling snow, that kind of stuff. I’m not getting much crossed of the To Do list, so why am I falling into bed at night and out by the time [...]

Is it ok to screw around with my header, say, like once a week or so? Or is it distracting? I just realized a couple weeks ago that I can actually do that without any major anxiety. And since I haven’t been able to master uploading pictures, this seems like an option [...]

How was your Thanksgiving? Mine was great, thanks for asking. A piece of our family had a small gathering at Hazel’s and I must say, she is an excellent cheffette and a charming hostess. And she makes a mean cornbread casserole that’s to die for. It was a nice, relaxing day [...]
