I have always been a cat person. I grew up with dogs and cats and I tolerate dogs. But I AM a cat lover. Every cat I have ever owned (although, admit it, who really ever owns a cat?) has come wired with certain personality traits. My very best cat ever was Missy, a blue […]
Why blog?
A friend of mine was really surprised when I told her that I blog. To her, blogging is a very self-centered thing; she can’t understand why anyone would think that what he or she said would be interesting or meaningful to anyone else. I actually agree with that, in a way. BUT, and there is […]
Carpooling
One and my friends and I happen to work in the same town about a half hour from home. I have on a few occasions taken her to and from work, on days when her husband needs her car. She emailed me last night to ask if I wanted to carpool on a regular basis, […]
Could it be?
Spring is springing all around me and I am blissful! Because we are lucky enough to live in New England, we celebrated Patriots Day on Monday. My workplace is on the route of the Boston Marathon, so I can’t work on Patriot’s Day…aw, shucks, eh? We spent some of each of the three day weekend […]
Reading…
I had a little extra time this morning for some reason, so I read some newspapers online. Well, not the whole paper, but those articles that piqued my interest. The Washington Post story about the Texas LDS sect “raid” and what is happening and going to happen to these mothers and their children (I find […]
Spring is springing…
I love living in New England. Each season brings with it the good, the bad and the hopeful. The good, in the case of spring, far outstrips the bad. Those last stubborn snow piles at the end of the driveway (where a winter’s worth of snow plow scrapings accumulated) are gone, the daffodils and crocuses […]
Tired of being sick…
Head’s up…the following is not for the faint of heart… I almost never throw up. Usually when I get the flu, it all happens at the other end. I got home from work Wednesday night, felt okay, went to bed and started feeling really strange in the tummy. After tossing and turning, trying to ignore […]
Oh, my aching head…
I know I don’t drink well. I feel the affects of alcohol very quickly…or, less kindly, I am a cheap drunk. Plus, I really hate the after affects. I am a migrainer and I don’t need any excuses for extra headaches. However, I really love it while I’m tipsy. It makes my underlying shyness take […]
My head is spinning…
I admit it. I’m an email junkie. I work all day at a computer with internet access. On nights I don’t have rehearsal, I have my laptop with me. Suddenly my son and I (we share a Verizon family plan) got a hankering for a Voyager or a Blackberry. He is leaving next month on […]
Getting older…
My recent trip to NYC and the photos I took are fresh in my mind. But those photos… I included some of me (something I normally avoid like the plague) and now am forced to see what other people see when they look at me. When I think of how I look, I am still […]
