The Year in Review

In 2024, you read nearly 60,000 words delivered directly from my brain to your devices. That's a lot of words. I cannot thank you enough.

The Blog Tag

If my blog was a person who would it be? Riveting answers to that question and more in my first Blog Tag!

When did October get here?

I was sitting here bored out of my mind tonight and thought, “Crap. I should really do a blog update.” Of course, I immediately opened up my lap top to get to work – and now see that my Internet is having connectivity issues. Being too lazy to get off the couch and reboot the … Continue reading When did October get here? →

Milestones

My nephew is turning 17 today. I find this very difficult to wrap my head around. Only slightly less difficult than the realization that next year, he'll be 18. While he is turning 17, I'm turning into one of 'those' Aunts...wanting to tell him about how I remember the day he was born. And how … Continue reading Milestones →

Fine. I’ll get back on track.

You've probably been wondering what happened to me. Or rather my excellent record of posting a blog each week. Well, nothing really happened. Except I didn't post for like a month. I don't even have a really good reason - just that every time it came up on my mental list...I did a quick scan … Continue reading Fine. I’ll get back on track. →

Sunburn, Sharks and Somebody just pinched me.

I'm not sure what is happening out there in that ocean (well, I have a frightening idea since I'm watching a little bit of Shark Week), but it seems the water is getting rougher and rougher. I mean, I specifically remember decades ago when waves wouldn't toss me around. Or when I could body surf … Continue reading Sunburn, Sharks and Somebody just pinched me. →

Jigger takes a trip (vacation…part one).

I do love vacation. I know, I know - who doesn't love vacation? The problem is, whenever I come back I have to spend two or three days coming down from the high. Which mostly is spent wondering how I could convince my parents to just let me live in their motor home full time. I'm … Continue reading Jigger takes a trip (vacation…part one). →

Just Axe

I love that I just gave myself a minor scare. Totally forgot I changed up the scheme on the blog yesterday. Then opened it today and couldn't figure out what I was looking at. Is that a sign of aging? Or just forgetfulness?You can tell when I'm really lacking on things to share when I … Continue reading Just Axe →

This may be very random.

I'm having on of 'those' weeks. Not all over the place - just in the blog world. It's a week when everyday, several times a day, I think, "Man, I got nothing." No great tales to share. No stupendous events to babble about. No amazing lessons to be forwarded.Granted - the last event was the … Continue reading This may be very random. →

Losing a Friend

I generally and purposefully do not blog during the end of quarter sessions at work. Mainly because I get so wrapped up in the craziness that I totally forget. So instead of beating myself up for forgetting, I just started giving myself two weeks off at the end of every three month cycle. That appeared … Continue reading Losing a Friend →
