I don't know if it's cold season (and the resulting lack of sleep) or the mental exhaustion of having cataloged all of my defects of character this week as I worked on Step 4 (in which I made a fearless and searching moral inventory of myself), but I'm finding I need to take a step [...]

On the Lighter Side…
Image credit: Photo byfangleman on FlickrLicensed under Creative Commons Whew! Between the online 12 step work I'm doing, my (slow) progress through my issues around this election and the thought provoking questions you all have given me around one of my recent posts, I'm pretty brain fried. So, I thought it would be fun to [...]
No Promises
I've decided I'm taking today off from blogging. My daughter, Janie, has a dance performance today, I've got contractors coming tomorrow, and I'm working the steps with an online group and Step 1 has kicked my ass and left me emotionally drained. I'll get back with answers to your wonderful questions on Friday's post, um, [...]

Her calculations, from what I experienced with my husband, are dead on and had me rolling on [...]
That’s my Girl!
My daughter likes to have me sing to her each night at bedtime. Her most frequently requested tune is "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star." However, last night she wanted me to sing her new favorite song: the theme from Speed Racer. (Did I mention that even before Peter Pan I was in love with that other [...]
Adminitrative Details (or Bitches Get Stuff Done)
Seems I just can't help but do a post like this every once in a while, if for no other reason than to get my head on straight and voice my priorities to myself. So, here I go, rummaging through my mind, trying to put things in neat order for the journey forward. I'm thinking [...]
