This was a very special vacation…Family Reunion vacation. My mom has always worked hard to make FAMILY very important. I am one of four girls, my mom is one of four kids, her mom was one of 5 (I think). We have lots of family and are spread all over the country. When we were […]
On blogging…
A friend of mine, who does not now and never will blog, asked me the other day why people blog? What do they have to say that anyone would want to read? Hmmmm…what makes me wonder why I think that anyone out there has any interest in what I write. I don’t think of myself […]
‘lympies, etc…
We have always watched the Olympics…when my daughter was little, she called it the ‘lympies…too cute. I am really tired. But what else do I expect during the Olympics? My sleep patterns are all askew. I’m so tired when I get home from work that I fall asleep. Then I wake up around 11pm and […]
More little bits…
My Google Reader gleaned only 1 post this morning (thank you, Ragtop), so instead of getting dressed for work, I’m sitting here on my bed, watching the US men’s soccer team beat the Japanese in a well-played game with too many called and uncalled penalties IMHO, sharing little bits. One more trip to Vermont in […]
Little bits…
How strange to watch an earthquake in my birth state as I sit safe and unshaken in Massachusetts. I have been through bigger, but this was probably a good wake-up call for complacent Californians. The good news is that the building upgrades seem to have worked! The Boy accepted a job offer yesterday…he will be […]
Cosmic light show…
WOW! As I sat at my desk in the 2nd floor converted sunporch of my office building yesterday (a wall of windows on three sides), the sky went dark and lightning started to flash…suddenly I was treated to a big ol’ mid summer thunderstorm…up close and personal. At the height of it, lightning struck somewhere […]
Auditions…
As we move toward the traditional community theater fall show audition period, I have to decide how I want to spend my evenings between now and November. My group isn’t doing a show with a part for me (although I’m trying to talk the director into cross-casting a part), so I’m looking around…something I haven’t […]
Wilting…
I went downstairs to make my morning coffee and looked out on the deck. I saw an ocean of wilting, dispirited looking plants. The tomatoes and basil were the worst. So, before I even had my first cup, I played Mother Nature and rained on all the deck plants. Our poor veggies are so far […]
The ides of July…
I am having trouble coming to grips with the fact that we are already over half way through 2008. ACK! Work is always slow in the summer, this summer being no exception. Too many hours in the work day to try to fill. I have gotten addicted to podcasts on my Zune. I’m worried, though, […]
They are never too old…
All right, just so you know…I am always telling friends who are parents of young kids that I am so glad I am past that. My life is now my own, I love my children from afar, blah blah blah. I paid for that remark last night. A has spent the last few days at […]
