Been working my ass off. I have a huge project at work and I am feeling the pressure. Been putting in a lot of late nights. The boys started back to school, against their will. :) Although, the teenager, Jake, said he was looking forward to being on a schedule again. We had been......Read More

Goodbye to 38
Today is my last day as a 38 y.o. It's been a pretty good year and I hope 39 is as good and maybe better. I've made some positive changes in my life and I am happier with myself than I have been in a very long time. All good stuff. Oh, and I got carded at the liquor......Read More

The Modern Pen Pal
Been thinking a little about when I was little, I had a couple of pen pals from elsewhere in the U.S. We didn't write often or for very long, but it was a cool idea. Today, I think is much easier b/c of the internet. I have a few people that I keep up, people I've never met face......Read More

Today is a happier day
Whatever pissed my husband off, he must've gotten over it. He's acted just fine today (so far). ;-) Maybe he was tired and grumpy. I get that way often. But I am usually the first one to point it out. LIke a warning to all. "Stay away from me. I am......Read More
