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 [...]

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’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 [...]
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

I can’t even sit still when I’m basking in the sun on the beach. I think that makes me some kind of anti-relaxation freak.
Two years ago, vacationing at Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts, I put together this little pebble composition in the sand by my towel. I’m glad I took a picture of it. [...]

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 [...]

I wasn’t sure if I would get time to post this or not tonight but I figured tomorrow’s kind of like a Friday at work, so I can be up later than usual…
My mom had surgery this morning and is doing fine. I had told some of you ahead of time and want to [...]

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. [...]

You guys seem to like my “varying degrees” posts. I’m thinking of doing some more of those but tonight I’m in a bit of a hurry and just wanted to write something quick.
If it’s not too late, run outside and get a look at that awesome Moon up there.
I watched this movie last night [...]

I am so completely thrilled. I came home today to find an invite to Deborah Chesher’s VIP World Premiere Gallery Opening for Everybody I Shot is Dead. It’s a private party and oh, man I wanna go soooooo bad. It’s happening on November 3rd. The Premiere takes place here at [...]

Crazy week I’m having here, thanks for askin’.
Therapy progress was looking grim until this morning when I woke up and felt like a human being. I’m feeling more hopeful. My ultrasonic and hands-on massage yesterday was accompanied by a quite informative half-hour long oration about the history of the states of Mississippi and [...]

It’s taken me an entire week to report on last weekend’s trip to New York. The trip was great. We left Friday and came home Monday afternoon. The occasion was to attend the wedding of Juju’s sister-in-law. The wedding was beautiful, as were Ju and her family, 4/5th’s of which were [...]

Firstly I would like to thank Mark at WordPress for helping me find my tool bar here. I hope I don’t wear it out.
Getting ready to leave for NY in a couple of hours to spend a few days with JuJu and her family. Seems like I haven’t seen them in ages and I can’t [...]
Still counting my blessings… and thinking over the past week and all the good things that happened. I truly am blessed with some great people in my life and I am truly thankful for that.
Early in the week my son, Michael emailed me pictures of his new furniture arranged in his new apartment. [...]

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 [...]

Here’s the Thing…
Last weekend on our way home from the family reunion, PD and I stopped for dinner at one of our favorite little places in a town called Punxsutawney. While we were dining, I felt a little spell of mild anxiety coming on. (something not entirely unusual for me after a few nights [...]

The weekend was beyond great. We rolled in later in the evening last night and unpacked the car and showered off 3 days of camping crud and pretty much died when our heads hit the pillows. I’ll bring you details later.
Thought for the day: I feel so very, very blessed to belong to the family [...]

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 [...]

I’m going to blame my state of mind of late on the medication I’m taking. There is no other explanation for my behavior recently. Or rather, I should say, the way I’ve been feeling. I can’t say the least little thing sets me off, it takes a wee bit more than that, [...]

I had a little change of plans. Originally I was embarking on my “road trip” yesterday when I got home from work. But, due to my own procrastination practices and a detail or two out of my control, I’m leaving this morning instead. My head is in a much better place than it was. Not [...]

WARNING: One Wink is cranky today. She’s been not-quite herself for a couple of days and really shouldn’t be here ranting on all you good people. But she’s feeling negligent and disinterested in blogging and thinks maybe letting her frustrations out will be good therapy and at least will be able to [...]

Yeah, I’d planned to write today but it seems everyone is dying and it’s hard to push that fact aside, I’m finding. Three people I care about have “finished their time here” since the weekend. I will be busy the next few days and in and out of town, but will try to [...]

Hi Kids. Haven’t been on here much, am having some aggravating computer issues. I come on and within 5 minutes I’m fed up. I’m not one to seek out a nervous breakdown. It will happens when it happens, I’m not going to invite one.
Hey, have you been over to see JuJubee? Her blog was mentioned in [...]

Had a perfectly lovely visit with the JuJu’s. Our visit went entirely too quickly, as always. I had decided beforehand to come home yesterday to give myself a quiet, lazy day today. Yes, I actually begged off a picnic invitation. I’ll go back to work tomorrow and Friday and then have a weekend to enjoy. [...]

Day Three into my respite from work and looking forward to Three More. Wow, this feels good.
Had friends over Friday night for Mudslide SnoCones. Was nice and relaxing. Good conversation and laughing at regular intervals. Minimal hangover on Saturday…
Last night was Little JuJu’s last night here with us. We called Mama before bed and there [...]

I always tend to get pissy when I think of you all sitting in your office/cubicle/whatever this time of day while I’m slaving away at work without a computer to surf on for hours at a time instead of actually doing work. But today I got one over on you. Not only am I sitting on [...]

What a week this has been. I can’t say I’m not happy for the weekend. After everything else, we had a bitch of a storm on Thursday afternoon. PD was visiting his parents when the storm came up and I was at work so there was no one here to close windows. Consequently, when I [...]
