Predictable
I was all geared up to do what had to be done. Step One Tell Joey I am in love with him. Step Two- break up with him for good. He doesn’t love me back, he has been stringing me along for years. So, I would do the right thing I reasoned- I would take the plunge and then move on with my......Read More

Waiting to Jump
When I was a little girl we jumped rope at recess. Two little girls would stand on either end of the rope and twirl it for a third girl to jump. They would start twirling before you were in range to do any jumping. The trick was to hop into the twirling rope at just the right moment. Little......Read More

My Dad
Tomorrow is Father’s day. I haven’t seen my biological father in a few years. Our meetings are reserved for weddings and funerals. I’ve been told that the way a girl’s father treats her has a lot to do with the all of the other relationships she will have with men in her......Read More

My Step-Dad
My Step-dad is a simple man. As far as social rungs go- he would have been a couple down from my family. I liked him. I picked him out for my mother. I technically picked him out for my mother when both of them were still married. Wait, hear me out. Mom was in a terrible marriage to a man......Read More

The Fifteen Minute Friend
When I first started with the company I worked a difficult job. It was a very restrictive job, and the only contact we had with our co-workers was during our lunches and 15 minute breaks. The breaks were scheduled. We didn’t get to pick and choose who we would be sharing the lounge with......Read More

The Misadventures of Sewer Foot
I have given myself an Indian name. It is Sewer foot. I had to work in the field today, however, to be fair it was in the city limits. I was working in town- how bad could it be? I wore my new tennis shoes. I was collecting data and wasn’t watching where I was stepping- and it happened.......Read More

On the Inside
Pete has a rather rough exterior. He is a tall skinny wisp of a man that sports a scruffy beard and is missing 3 of his bottom front teeth. He is a farm boy. He works for my company 40 plus hours- then goes home and works on his farm. His hands are worn from years of hard work. His clothes hang......Read More

SOMETMES THE BAD GUY WINS
The American Dream is an illusive creature. When we think of it- we often think of the cookie cutter image of the life with marriage, 2.5 kids, a nice house in the suburbs with a picket fence- and a good job. In reality it is a good deal more complicated than that. It is different for each......Read More

Defining Characteristic
It is amazing how much you can hear, when you sit silently in a crowd of slightly intoxicated co-workers. Dear Debbie has decided to retire. She was always so cheerful- a real trooper. Her retirement party was crowded with co-workers I had never seen before in my life. Lynn IM’d me......Read More
