StarStruk By Life

I feel as if I’m wrapped in a light coating of gray batting…don’t want to think, don’t want to make decisions, don’t feel competent…just a slump.  Nothing bad, just nothing much.  Maybe waking up in the dark and driving home from work in the dark…? OK, enough whining…I’m going to take the rest of this […]

Maybe it is the season…midway through a New England winter, gray skies and dirty snowbanks.  Maybe it is the time of year…tax season and 1099s and Ws and ohmygosh how can we possibly owe more when there is already so much being taken out of every check?  Maybe it is the world climate…so many people […]

It is weekend.  Even better, it is weekend with my husband and the cats and no obligations.  We can cook and drink and attack an organization project…do we sense a theme here, each weekend has on its agenda an organization project…I am a pile person and the piles are now ripe for sorting and filing.  […]

I sometimes have intense dreams…I remember them for a short while after I awake.  Last night, I had a long convoluted dream that involved looking at GORGEOUS farms that were selling their contents (like yard sale-ing, but indoors – and the farms weren’t selling their contents, the owners of the farms were <G>)…I was really […]

I always suffer from withdrawals after the end of the baseball season, the football season, rehearsal and performance of a play…right now, I’m suffering from Inauguration withdrawal.  For those few days, I was able to watch via livestream or TV wherever I went.  Now it is over.  Last night, I watched reruns until I fell […]

I am a strange combination of tech-lover and tech-klutz.  I have a group of women, real and true friends, with whom I have shared the last 15 years or more of life…we were among the original online groups back in the old days and we have kept our group alive online all this time…I had […]

I am going to be catching bits and pieces of the festivities today.  I can watch the swearing in ceremony via live streaming.  I’ll miss the parade and really won’t be able to pick up coverage again until 8pm or so.  So a lot of my participation will be in hindsight, tomorrow, reading my newspapers […]

I am very excited and uplifted and moved and optimistic as the celebrations continue towards tomorrow’s inauguration and the rest of the ceremony.  As I heard one of our local newscasters say this morning, I am a fan of pomp.  I am loving this. And I think what I love almost most of all is […]

After I finished the bulk of the photo scanning project (I keep finding photos in the strangest places), I vowed to start mowing through the piles of paper that are scattered throughout our house.  I got most of it sorted yesterday (filled two recycling bins with trash paper).  Today, I have to go through each […]

Just finished reading my daughter’s blog, all about bike riding and running and healthy food and happy dogs.  I feel virtuous too, though, as my husband and I worked out with Wii Fit today (one of the categories, if you do really poorly on a unit, is couch potato).  Just a start, but it felt […]
