Holidazed

Hello there, all you happy people… It’s OK if you don’t recognize this fella – he wasn’t one of the more popular cartoons that ran in the afternoons when I was growing up, but there’s a certain association I have with him.  He may not be sassy like Bugs, he may not be full of […]

Gimme a Break

There are some great advantages to taking a break – pulling back from a stressful situation, gaining a new perspective, and switching up whatever routine you’ve been in.  It doesn’t have to be long, fancy or expensive, so long as you’re taking care of the most important person in your world – yourself.  Ahh, I […]

Yeah, it’s over

I started packing today.  There’s no point in pretending that my husband is going to find a job that will allow us to stay here, much less in the same household.  It’s just not possible when I crunch the numbers – and the fact that he went out to a job fair in cargo pants […]

Scatter Brain

I don’t really have a theme or a plan today – I thought I’d kind of go where my loosey-goosey thoughts went and see what happens.  It’s not that there’s nothing on my mind, I’m just sifting through it all, and trying to make sense for this time frame.   For me, this is going […]

Thunder and so much More

The dog is pacing, but trying to keep me in sight, which is a challenge in this room.  The cats have been grooming themselves with a dedication and attention to detail that can only mean one thing – we’re about to have a good thunderstorm.  The parts of me that aren’t sore, rejoice in the […]

Keeping it Sweet

Right out of the gate, I’m going to fess up that I doubt I’m going to hit my word count; and I know this is late for today.  As keeping myself accountable for what and when and how much I write is very important to me, I’m going to beg your forgiveness, give it my […]

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 […]

The Baggins…

  I’m rather fond of this picture of Mr. Baggins, mostly because it shows what can be done with a feral or neglected cat.  Look at him!  He’s got lush fur, he’s contemplating which bowl is going to be the yummiest, and he’s content.  He looks like a comma, all nice and plump, and for […]

The Price We Pay

Oh, Stephen – you really know how to throw down a challenge don’t you?  For those of you not following Fractured Faith Blog,  Stephen (I’m presuming by style) asked people to write about what they are afraid of.  And as my brain in a little mushy from dealing with that evil hag, the Migraine Fairy – this […]
