A friend of mine said the other day that she felt “scattered” and I immediately thought, “Me too.” It’s sort of hard for me to focus lately. There are so many things I want to do, with regards to my writing and other goals that I have. But meanwhile… I am in the midst of…
Some Things You Need To Know About Me
I am loyal to a fault. Good music makes me completely swoon. I believe art is life. My kids are my world. I cannot wait to get to Paris and Prague. (Jennie, I’m coming, I promise!) Someday I want to get married again. I could live at the ocean. Starting tomorrow. I love my hair….
My Bicycle
The other day I borrowed my neighbor’s bicycle so I could do a few “laps” around the neighborhood. Many months ago she okayed me using it whenever I wanted… you know, as long as she was not on it. 
I took advantage of her generosity as I pedaled around the streets that connect in…
Behind the Wiper
I kind of hope it doesn’t rain anytime soon because there’s a leaf stuck behind the left windshield wiper on my van. I want it to stay because it reminds me of the changing season(s) and resilience, which are more metaphors for my life right now. I realize I’ve been writing in metaphors a lot lately. But…
The Flood {And How YOU Can Help}
My feet made that wet, squishy sound as I entered the bedroom of my friend’s home last Monday, the carpet soaked through. That previous Saturday she and her family almost washed away with the flood waters that ravaged areas of Lafayette. Over three feet of water rushed through her living room and the rest of…
Facebook: The Jerk You Hate to Love
I am pissed at Facebook. Because I think it is very responsible for people not reading my blogs anymore very much. I mean, think about it – back before Facebook really became a “thing” we had more time to read longer, better things. We were watching fewer videos and getting less huffy about “vaguebooking”. We had…
Would You Like to Phone a Friend?
Yes, actually, I would thanks. My friends have carried me in the last eight plus months. They have carried me and lifted me and laughed with me when all I wanted to do was curl up in a ball and cry. They have encouraged me and have done their best to make sure that I…
The View and Nurse Storytellers…
I don’t want to be one of those people who makes “mountains out of molehills” or anything like that but the other night I was laying in bed thinking about this whole “The View” thing and what they said about Miss Colorado and her monologue about being a nurse. First and foremost, yes, they insulted…
Taco Night
The ground meat sizzles in the hot pan and soon it will be many small crumbles, ready for my homemade taco seasoning. I use my handy-dandy Pampered Chef tool to make it that way. It’s really the only thing I have ever bought from PC that I use. Once again I have deemed it “Taco…
Observations from someone who forgot her phone…
My kid likes to say that my phone is permanently attached to my arm. He’s not far off. But sometimes, believe it or not, I forget it when I go places. Recently I forgot it when we went to the pool. When I realized I did not have it I was a tad perturbed for a…
