• Cowboy boots

  November 10, 2008

  I wore my cowboy boots today. My kids & husband think they are tooooo out of style, but I've always loved cowboy boots and wore them fairly regularly until a couple of years ago when I fell on the ice (no, not wearing the boots at the time).   For the remainder of the year, I…

• Best part of the day

  November 9, 2008

  The best part of the day was seeing the four wild turkeys in a field just down the road this morning. Mike back on another business trip leaving Julie & I to "bond" for another week.

• Why do we do this?

  November 7, 2008

  Wondering about why I - and  others - write here?  Are we voyeuristic?  Are we "wanna be" writers or journalists?  Do we feel a sense of clarity by writing what we are thinking? I'm not sure I know the answer to why I am doing this.  And I guess I feel a ce...

• Irritated

  November 5, 2008

  Sorry, here I go again with negativity.  I just called Mike because I hadn't heard from him this morning like usual & he told me that his meeting today was over early so he was going to come all the way home today & would be here about 8 - which is fine, but if…

• Maybe not at night?

  November 2, 2008

  Maybe I shouldn't write at night.  By the end of the evening, I'm getting tired & grumpy so that everything I write seems to be negative.  Julie, my daughter, seems to be driving me nuts.  She's 24 and moved home a few months ago so that she could go back to school & get so...

• Time changes

  November 1, 2008

    I'm tired - this time change thing seems to always throw me off stride for a day or two.  Of course, my body feels like it is an hour later than the clock says it is.  I remember how much I used to hate the time changes when my kids were little - they…

• Do I want to do this?

  October 31, 2008

      I'm not quite sure about this, but I've been giving it some thought lately that I would like to write about some of the things that I wonder about.  Some days I think serious thoughts & some days I just think goofy stuff - as I'm sure lots of people do. I used…
