Riding the Feminist Wave

My first encounter with feminism was getting into trouble for chanting “Hey, Hey, What do ya Say? C’Mon Join the ERA!” I’m pretty sure it was picked up on field trip into Washington DC, but I might have heard it on the news? Either way – it flopped pretty hardcore at the time. Something along the […]

Fuzzy

There’s no sugar coating it – I feel fuzzy today. I don’t think it’s the change in my sleeping patterns (although I am staying up later, and sleeping in later) – I think there’s something more going on. Now, it could very well be the massive influx of pollen, cedar and juniper being two of […]

Revisiting the Case

There are days, like today, where on thing leads to another in a truly bizarre set of circumstances. I found an old driver’s license which means I can claim something like $7.50 from the state of KS. Wheee…. But it got me thinking about finding proof of an address (I’m still hoping to find the […]

Ohhh Yeah!

I’m 51. Most of the time I feel like I’m in my 30’s – until I look in a mirror or a reflective surface and see that I’m carrying a lot more load now than I did then. I have, more or less, the same interests, the same concerns, and the same goals – nothing […]

Seeing Myself as I am

If I could tell you how much the above illustration spoke to me of my childhood; hell, even well into being an adult, it would seem as if this illustration was made just for me. I get it, we all face issues between what we see in the mirror and what people expect us to […]

No more excuses

Yep – I totally dropped the ball on writing the past week – figuring that trying to write on a tablet wasn’t going to fly. (It won’t – I’m not a two thumbed typist, unless you’re really into typos.) I also rationalized that helping my daughter with her wonderful kiddo was a legit excuse to […]

Who Knows?

Are you one of those people that throws salt over a shoulder or knocks wood for luck? Knows the phone is about to ring? You know things about people before they tell you? Do you believe in Extrasensory Perception and the Paranormal – especially ghosts and spirits and people that were? Well, come sit by […]

Shall we?

It crossed my mind last night that, I’m incredibly thankful for all of you who take the time to read or comment on any of my posts. It’s a blessing, and you all hold me accountable for what I post and how I word my thoughts. It’s a huge gift, and responsibility, and I don’t […]

The Family Tree

Why, hello, all you happy people… (Droopy joke – Google Tex Avery.) It has been a madhouse, what with my favorite brother-in-law and his fiancee here and spending time with them, getting to know her, showing off the sights (jousting with pool noodles, with me in the handicapable cart….) and spending a lot more time […]

Indeed

Things are picking up in the land o’hectic – which is why I’ve been backlogging posts. Errr, it also helps me to process what’s going on and how I want to progress. Slightly uncharted territory, but that’s life and at the moment, I’m going with it. This week, we have my brother and sister […]
