Hand-Me-Downs, Rock!


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?

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
