I don’t invest my time and effort in people who don’t matter a great deal to me. I whinge and moan about people. I weep and sigh over people. I plot and plan over people. If I, in any way, mention a person. Be assured I care, very very much, about them. I treat thoseContinue reading

You ever notice that people keep track of things they WANT to do, but never stuff they have EXPERENCED and wished they hadn’t? Like, they create these bucket lists of things they want to do before they die, but never give themselves respect for all the stuff they have LIVED through. I call it theContinue reading “The suck list”

There is a strange thing that happens whenever I take time off from work. Each time (and there have been many) the work week preceding the leave is almost always, quite inevitably, completely shitty. It’s like I have to prepay for my time off in grueling effort. Now, much of this is probably attributed toContinue reading “5 days of rain”

Dude!! You missed THE ABSOLUTE PERFECT opportunity to use the word LOCK to open the phone and didn’t. I don’t care if it would have been cliche, it would have been FANTASTIC and hilariously cheeky. I’m terribly disappointed in you Miss Adler! Sigh* He would have loved the cleverness of it, I am convinced. B

When other people watch movies, they select a character they want to be, someone they aspire to emulate or become like in some small way. The thing about me is, I’ve never been much interested in being a specific character in the movie. I would be anyone, so long as it meant I got toContinue reading “Here’s the thing about me,”

Lying here legit just meandering in my thoughts. Want a peek? I’m contemplating rearranging my living-room as a possible means of getting myself to kick-start my deep cleaning demon as I am currently completely apathetic about doing my actual normal cleaning. I am seriously weird. I will make a bigger project to force myself notContinue reading “The thinks I think”

What does it say about me that in establishing my packing list for my 3 day visit to Ohio, that I am fine with only the minimums when it comes to clothes, make-up, hair-care and other needs, but my need for my camera, laptop, Kindle, cell-phone and sewing projects, are completely overriding any and allContinue reading “Hmmm..”

@Yanart_30k on Instagram just described my hair issues perfectly. My people!!

It was a hard day at work. Labor day weekend and all that. I was getting the carts in when a woman stepped out of her car and started waving her arms into the air. I looked at her and wondered what this woman was on about and then, I recognized her. My Shay. IContinue reading “And I wept like a 6 year old who’s gotten her hearts most secret wish”

Pulse With each lyrical beat, you delve, deeper and more deeply, into your darkest shadows. Your Heartbeat is often caught up in the movement, of a metronome of consciousness. The core of you illuminates quite more than anticipated. This isn’t just destiny, it’s fated. The silver spark of your intellect. A warm glow that leapsContinue reading “Happy Birthday Anu!”

I’ve not thought if it before, but I happened to think on it and realized, I can use my computer like a television can’t I? So, I did! I downloaded Netflix and set myself up by the window where I have been sewing and watching television all day. It’s marvelous! I have truly gotten hookedContinue reading “Netflix and sew”

I think the best days are the ones you didn’t plan on. Yesterday was definitely one of those!  It started out with waking up and feeling pretty happy. No aches and pangs, not foreboding feeling of dread about the coming workday, mostly because I knew I was going to have adequate assistance for the dayContinue reading “The best day ever!”

Who is your hero? My hero. Hmm. I think the person who has impacted me most in my life was actually Harper Lee. When I read “To Kill a Mockingbird” it changed my entire life. I learned about conviction, integrity, and holding your own even if you are the only person standing up for somethingContinue reading “50 questions”

Books, Cocoa, and a lovely spot to rest.
