After a harrowing night/day, I’m glad to report two things. I’m tougher than I thought, being that I didn’t die and the other thing being that I’ve got a clean and healthy colon. The doc even said that I can probly go 5 years until I need to schedule another colonoscopy. What a relief.
Of course [...]

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. [...]

I’m not sure how much I shared here about the crappy week I just spent. It involved just about the entire gamut of Murphy’s Law and then some. Next time I schedule a week off work, well… never mind. Let’s just say that there are a few things worse than work stress.
Today [...]

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 [...]

You’ve probly noticed my favorite quote down there on my side bar…
“The only true currency in this bankrupt world… is what you share with someone else when you’re uncool.” ~ Lester Bangs
Tell me what this means to you.

≈You probably aren’t going to feel very social today, dear Pisces. In fact, you’re likely to want to work on projects and tasks alone if you can. This actually might be good for you, as you probably need to concentrate on crossing certain things off your list without being distracted. [...]

If you are a friend of the Earth, go here. Do your part
On an unrelated note, I’ve been thinking about this lately… If you had to categorize people into two groups, how would you do it? I think our answers will tell us a lot about how we view the world. I’m not [...]

Each weekday I awaken at (somewhere between 5:15 and) 5:30 am. I spend approximately one hour making myself presentable to leave the house and spend 8 hours at my job and then drive home for 15 minutes. So essentially, from the time I go to bed each night… which fluctuates between 10 and [...]

I can’t call it writer’s block cuz I’m not a writer. But in all my years of blogging, this is the first time I can recall sitting here at the keyboard, wanting to post and coming up with NOTHING. Usually I sit down and go through three or four topics in my head [...]

Today was not such a good day. My workday consisted of performing an 8-hour series of mindless tasks. Which afforded me 8 hours of thinking time. Ordinarily I might welcome that kind of day but today, not so much. I’m not sure whether to blame it on the cold meds I’m [...]

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. [...]

Last week I started sharing some uncomfortable feelings I’ve been having. It may have sounded like depression to some. And while it is depressing, it’s sort of a cycle that I get sucked into every so often. Not sure what a counselor might have to say about it but I’m pretty sure [...]

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 [...]

Oh, man. Here we go again. I was afraid of this. (you probly should be too, now that I think of it… 
I got that feeling again. What feeling is that, Miss Linda (or whatever you call me)? I hear you saying.
It’s that nagging feeling that lurks around in [...]

Why am I giving myself a French Manicure today? It’s called Avoidance, people! I am the Master Mistress of it. Oh yeah, and it looks so pretty.

Hey y’all. I missed you! Amazing how a few days away can get a woman feelin’ all behind. It might take me awhile to get caught up, your patience is appreciated. I read all the comments left while I was gone, I will get to them at some point I hope. [...]

This little girl is 7 years old. Her performance is followed by a 5-year-old boy.
I didn’t know what to think about this. On the one hand, her dancing ability is quite amazing. Would I want my daughter, at 7 or even 17 dancing like this in public? I think not. But it brought to [...]

I got the second parking ticket of my entire life last week. The pissy part of it was that I actually had put money in the meter. It ran out. I guess a dime doesn’t get what it used to. We so rarely park anywhere these days where there are actually parking meters. One day [...]

What do you have that counts? If you’re counting the house and the cars/SUVs and the boats and the vacation homes and the bank accounts and the frequent flyer miles and the botox injections and the fake nails and other assorted body parts and the fancy jobs with the cushy offices, maybe even approaching retirement [...]

I did it. I survived, but barely. Working four 10-hour days is definitely not my bottle of beer. cup of tea. I couldn’t get to sleep at night and couldn’t wake up in the morning. Driving to work in the dark with pea-soup fog is for the birds. My body hurts. And I now have [...]

It’s a pretty morning, not yet unbearably hot. Had the required coffee on the porch with the birds and my out-of-control wild flowers. Happy to find some quiet Think Time. Sorted out some issues; what I do and don’t have control over. What I can change and what I can’t. Sadly found that the list [...]

Been praying a lot. Been hiding (figuratively) a lot. Went to bed at 7pm last night. Work was trying today. Not so much the work, just being there. I wanted to be home and comfortable and, you know. Just Home.
My basic personality is that of a true [...]

The Serenity Prayer. I gave a copy of it to my dad when he found out he was dying with cancer. Yesterday my doctor told me to pray it when I started to feel anxious. He absolutely did not strike me as a particularly religious kind of guy. It surprised me [...]

I had planned on sharing the family reunion with you, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized that:
a) You really don’t know and can’t appreciate any of these people (except Hazel and JuJu and Ju wasn’t there.) and,
b) Most of the goings-on fell under the category of “You Had to Be [...]

Well, Internets (is that like K-marts???) you may not have recognized me over the weekend. I got up Saturday morning, did my porch/coffee thing and came on here to read mail and blogs. Only thing was, there was no mail, no blogs. Our DSL was nowhere to be found. I was really bummed because I’d [...]

First, let me apologize for not answering comments as I usually do for the last couple of days. I was a bit exhausted and kind of a nervous wreck. I would have denied it then but I can tell you now that I was.
I won’t drag this out. George called me this afternoon and thankfully, [...]

Your Score: Katharine Hepburn
You scored 16% grit, 28% wit, 38% flair, and 28% class!
You are the fabulously quirky and independent woman of character. You go your own way, follow your own drummer, take your own lead. You stand head and shoulders next to your partner, but you are perfectly willing and able to stand alone. [...]

You know, I can’t decide what works better for me. Starting the day off like this, or ending my day like I just did.
I got showered and looked at the clock and realized another half an hour wouldn’t totally jeopardize my sleep time and make me a bear at work tomorrow. So I grabbed my [...]

I did it again.
There was another storm last night. This one was windier and there was more lightning. This time I did it with only one cigarette and no beer. And I got wet this time. It was fabulous.
And I will do it again the next chance I get. And if I still don’t get fried, [...]
