Pitifully Empty
I am sitting here on a Saturday night, alone with my infant daughter. She is a joy to me, and I am grateful for the time alone to get things done or just shut my brain down, but... In the silence, I am forced to think about the people who said they wanted to stay in touch with me before......Read More

Varied Thoughts
Working on some writing this morning and trying to have a calm day with all three children home. It hasn't been too crazy yet (knock on wood). I am also waiting on someone from the cable company to come out and update our moden so that we can FULLY enjoy our high speed internet again. Things......Read More

Votination
I tend to make up words. "Votination" means "the act of going out and voting." This is from the International Barbara Dictionary." Anyway, I have voted and feel good about myself. Can't wait to see what happens next, but I can do without the anger from the losing party......Read More

The Day After
My extended family (Mom, Aunt, etc.) may not support him for some insane reason, but I have been strongly on Obama's side for the last eight or nine months. When someone STOLE the bumper sticker off of my car, I immediately ran to my computer and print out huge signs that are still plastered......Read More

Moan & Groan
I don't have much to say today. I realized around 9:00 AM that I was feeling anxious and a bit sad. When I searched for the answer I returned to the place where I wonder where old friends have gone. Really, I have been in touch (very recently) with some other old friends. I am happy for that,......Read More

Back to the Movies...
Another Friday and another film review. Also, another new film. Today's agenda is all about movies on the blog. Beginning later today, I will start to post descriptions and links for the films that I had posted and reviewed while on Facebook (I REALLY wish I had copied all of my reviews-......Read More

Still Calling the Shots
I am still having a ball with a recent development in my personality. I have started telling people exactly what I think when I am thinking it (when they are, pardon my French, jackasses). I have gotten over, for the most part, my constant need to have everyone LIKE me. I figure if someone is......Read More

Time Flies
It's crazy just how quickly these last few days have gone by. I sometimes get the feeling that we (as a race or planet covered with humans) are being hurdled through space and time towards something bigger in our future. Maybe it's just wishful thinking, but it makes me less fatigued at the......Read More

Not Feeling Well
I am feeling a bit yucky today. I have finally succumbed to the head and chest cold that my family has been cycling through for about six weeks now. I could feel worse, but my head pounding and my raspy voice is quite enough to make work as a voice and piano teacher unbearable. Anyway,......Read More

Checking In
Just checking in, folks. I have let this week run over me like a mack truck for some reason. Been getting ready for the in-laws to come today. All is now clean, and I am off to buy groceries for the big Turkey Day on Thursday. I suppose I am excited in some way, but most of me is......Read More
