Crappiest Morning-Another Bad Entry
I keep contradicting myself. I feel as though I am often grateful for the beauty in the world around me, and yet, I seem to only write entries lately that reflect sad or angry feelings. I guess my own, private journals became a tool for venting after a while. I thought I could be more literary......Read More

Funny Things
Funny how things can really go from seeming bad to BEING bad in the blink of an eye. While I was sitting here yesterday morning feeling the deep angst and fear of "What if people don't like me?" my darling middle child, my son (the one who is kicking Epilepsy's butt and learning to......Read More

Fried Brains
I just spent the better part of the day with several classes worth of second graders on a field trip to a children's museum. It began with chaos, it continued with slightly more controlled chaos, lunch came and went, and then we ended the trip with an IMAX film (which was amazing, although the......Read More

Shut Up
It is truly hysterical to me how ready people are to slam you down with a "one up," or an ignorant comment. For a few weeks, I struggled with the concept that I have been a singer my entire life (hold on, that's not the problem). I was trained to sing professionally, and in......Read More

Results?
OK... so I went to rehearsal last night with my "I don't have to prove myself!" attitude. I graciously said no when the director asked about my solo audition, and I even felt strongly about it, you know, like I was making the right decision. Well, as the night wore on and people......Read More

Many, many changes
I am REALLY going through some major changes over here. So... I finally made the break, after MUCH whining, and deactivated my Facebook account. YAY!!! I found myself getting so OVERinvolved in actually worrying what people thought of me. I was degrading myself and my emotional progress of......Read More

A New Week & An Anniversary
For those of you wondering about yesterday's dye job...you can't tell from the profile picture but I usually have a lot of red in my hair. It is now gone and in its place is a lovely dark brunette shade. I have been doing hair for a long time (on the side) and I must say that subtle changes......Read More

The Resurrection of "Friday Film Forum" (aka: "Tri
Now that I have spent a bit more time being introspective and "tellin' it like it is," I want to return to one of my favorite pastimes. I want to reinstate my film club here on the blog. Granted, I will not necessarily know if any of you are really interested out there, or if you......Read More

Working On It
So, I see that no one has had the chance to get in on the film group thing. Well, maybe I overestimate the interest. I DID go ahead and set up a group on Thoughts.com in anticipation of potential interest. (So optimistic.) Oh well. I will give it a week. I may even begin posting to the group......Read More

It's Thursday
Another Thursday and another day to ask if you have checked out the film group yet. I PROMISE, this is the last time I will plug it. I will start posting tomorrow whether there are other members yet or not. Just go to 'Groups' and find "Friday Film Forum." Moving on. I slept......Read More
