My favorite time of year is over. Bummer. The time between Christmas and New Year’s is my smiling time. There is always something to look forward to. It starts out on Christmas Eve. Dinner with the folks, then off to church, then back home to open presents. This year we didn’t go to church because of the [...]
Lately, for some unknown reason, I’ve been looking back on various times of my life. Yesterday, my former boyfriends was my thought topic. Some of the memories brought a smile to my face, others…not so much. I started doing the “what if…” game. “What if I had married “Hercules” instead of Tom?” Every time [...]
I was cleaning up my desk today, and found a black and white picture of my dad sitting in his recliner in the house I grew up in. I have no idea when the picture was taken, but I do know that there was no tv in the corner, so it had to be in [...]
The alarm went off at 6 am. I got out of bed to wake up Mark. As I came back into the bedroom I said, “THIS is how it feels to get a good night’s sleep!” I actually felt refreshed! Rejuvenated! Revitalized! What a wonderful feeling. And, what a difference one night makes. All morning long, [...]
Ever wonder why people use the phrase “slept like a baby?” In my experience, babies aren’t that great of sleepers. They wake up several times a night. What’s so wonderful about that? But, the phrase, “cry like a baby” makes a lot more sense. Babies cry. Hard. And, so did I yesterday. I sent my [...]
Today’s Monday link is of a personal nature. Mark was confirmed yesterday. And as I mentioned in a previous post, his testimony was about my brother. When I read his testimony on Wednesday, I cried. I told him it was amazing, and that he really has a gift of putting into words how he feels. [...]
Yep. I’m cleaning the house. Thoroughly. As I mentioned earlier, Mark’s Confirmation is this weekend. We will be having 24 people here at the house for lunch afterward. Which is great. Really. It is! I’m honestly looking forward to it. But, of course, before everyone arrives, we’ve got to clean this house. As I was [...]
Amazing what those four words can do. Powerful. Trust me. I’ve been trying to get in touch with my brother regarding his attendance at Mark’s confirmation. I sent him an email weeks ago, letting him know that his godson was already 14 and it was time for his confirmation. No response. Yesterday, I called him [...]
It’s a bittersweet day for me. My little brother turns 40 today. Why bittersweet, Michelle? No, friends, he’s not dead. I just haven’t talked to him in over 5 years. After he got married and had a baby, his wife turned into a complete B****. And, yes I meant for that to be a capital [...]
Yum yum yum yum! My friend and I went to Papi’s for lunch last week. They have lunch deals, and for $6 you can have a salad and soda, a pizza and soda, or a sandwich and soda. DELICIOUS! So yummy that I took my family there for dinner that same night! The kids and [...]
