I love that this whole idea is growing. I mean, last week, we had 44 link-ups!! It’s always my personal goal to read every single post that’s here to let you know how much I appreciate you joining this little community I’ve created. I’ve been trying to keep up but I’m usually about a week … Read more
I have an i problem. Not an eye problem but an “i” problem because every time I tried to type “I” it seemed to come out as “i” and in the true spirit of stream of consciousness, I left it. This week was a little busy and I only recently sat down to read last … Read more
I don’t have much of an intro today because as you’ll read below, I don’t have much to write about either. Is it the change in seasons? Is it the impending holidays? Is it cabin fever now that the weather has gotten cooler? I’m in a bit of a funk and wondering if I’m alone. … Read more
I had such a blah day. I’m trying to declutter the house again. I dressed in bummy clothes. I didn’t shower. And it was cold outside and in (I have this thing about turning on the heat before November). I’ve just been in a funk. But don’t worry. That’s not what I wrote about. I … Read more
I’m not saying I don’t follow my own rules. I absolutely do. Although I’m not as strict about the 5 minute rule as I used to be. I like to write until it feels done. Or I at least end on a coherent thought. That usually takes me 5 to 7 minutes. But for this … Read more
This post was so much more pleasant that I thought it would be. I had in my mind what I was probably going to write about but whether or not I have a topic, I just let me thoughts flow. I had planned to write about freak accidents and how strange things can work out … Read more
I knew I was going to write today about the anniversary of September 11th. I didn’t know what I was going to write. I waited until I sat down and then just let the words flow. It’s been 10 years but it feels like a lifetime ago. To me, anyway. I just didn’t think I … Read more
After I wrote this, I felt like I had written this exact same post before. Am I repeating myself? Am I running out of things to say? I hope not. Maybe I just need to keep regurgitating the same stuff until it becomes my reality. *** So much about life is simply perspective. I have … Read more
EARTHQUAKES! HURRICANES! ZOMBIES! Okay, there haven’t been any reports of zombies. Although I have been playing a lot of Plants vs. Zombies lately but I think it’s completely unrelated to the earthquakes and hurricanes. Mother Nature has been playing a few tricks on us lately and I actually kind of like it. I’m not saying … Read more
I wrote this post between 1:15 am and 1:20 am after a very long day and a very full belly. I planned to spend some simple computer time tonight. Maybe some games or some online shopping. That’s not exactly how it turned out but I learned that even after a bit of an exhausting night, … Read more
One of the hardest things to learn as you get older is that you can’t be all things to all people. You can’t be the best daughter, wife, mother, and friend. You can certainly try but you’ll probably lose your sanity in the process. All you can do is be the best person you can … Read more
I wrote this post on Saturday night. If you read on, you’ll understand the frame of mind I’m in. In a matter of a few hours on Friday, I went from feeling hopeless and depressed about the non-sale of our house to having 3 showings scheduled for this week. From depressed to panicked. With a … Read more
