Today I spent time, finally, making the complete switch in the closet from summer/fall clothes to winter. It's a less than enjoyable process for me, frankly. I am forced to look at things I've outgrown (and not necessarily in a good way) as I try to live by the rule "If I haven't worn it in … Continue reading Hand-Me-Downs, Rock!

The First One Hundred Days!
What to write about? Firsts? One hundreds? Perseverance, firmness, resolve, determination, fortitude; any or all of which it takes to get through 100 days of something. And where do we find our strength to live up to a commitment like writing every day for entire year, 365 days in a row; regardless of what else … Continue reading The First One Hundred Days!
Post 99
I've been thinking more about the content for tomorrow's post, day #100, than I have about today's, so I' m finding it difficult to identify a topic for today. The inspiration for blogging for 365 days in a row actually came from watching the movie Julie and Julia. If you haven't seen it, take a look, it's … Continue reading Post 99
What a Prick!
Several years ago I was undergoing fertility treatments. Most of the time when people hear about fertility, they probably think it's all about a woman having to self-inject drugs to stimulate her system. It's true, our refrigerator became a kind fertility drug store. Where you might keep your butter and eggs, in our fridge you'd find … Continue reading What a Prick!
Church Choirs
I'm taking today's idea for my post from the blog "Chasing Happy". Kenzie, the blog's author, put a challenge out to the world via The Thankful Project; say something every day from November 1st until Thanksgiving that you are thankful for; she's providing prompts to help. The prompt offered today is: Something You Were Taught.Who … Continue reading Church Choirs
It’s Coming…I Can’t Believe It!
My 100th Consecutive Post will be here on Friday!! I'm already thinking about it. Three more to do before I can post Friday, but be on the lookout!
Better Said Than I Could Have
Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, frankly the entire interweb is teeming with all things Veterans' Day; as it should be! One of my Facebook friends, who I wrote about the other day, posted her take on the day. I'm not saying it's any more sincere than all the other thank you's that I've read today, but what … Continue reading Better Said Than I Could Have
What’s The Perfect Game?
I was never much of a fan for playing tennis. I didn't like chasing the balls so far if they were hit over the fence at the Y. I wanted the exercise but didn't want to waste time in between serves to retrieve one of the three balls that came in the can we'd bring … Continue reading What’s The Perfect Game?
My Sister, Sue
I will, at some point, over the course of the 365 days of this blog, post about each of my family members in one way or another. I've already begun by posting about my Auntie Tina, my brothers-in-law Jon and Paul, and my brother David. In case you don't know I have numerous brothers, sisters, … Continue reading My Sister, Sue
In the Blink of An Eye
York Steak House at the Warwick Mall had been my part-time job for two years. Four days after I graduated from high school, as I was working at this job I'd imagined was going to pay for my books and incidentals when I got to college in Vermont later that summer. It was fairly early in … Continue reading In the Blink of An Eye
