February, I quit thee.

I have long said that the primary attraction of February is in its’ brevity. I find it easier to get through a month that is only 28 days in length (29 in leap years, I know), particularly when that month is one thing that stands between me and springlike weather. A 28-day month in the [...]

I take it back.

Fly-shopping is a lot like fly-fishing, except without the fly and without the fishing.
Let me explain:
You whip into a store, see something you like, and because you don’t have a lot of time to fiddle around with making a definitive decision, you buy it without trying it on, knowing that if you get it home [...]

Time marches on, and a lot of times the route it takes is all over your face.

I just fired off my first official “happy 40th birthday” e-card to one of my friends.
It’s happening. I can’t stop it.
I have a feeling that my own impending 40th birthday this year is going to come accompanied by a big dose of freak-out. I say this because I’m having a bit of a freak-out just [...]

Photo Friday: drop off

Well, folks, it finally happened.
Spawn has joined the ranks of the drop-off kids.
I’d been talking it up for a few weeks, waiting for the kid to make the decision instead of me pushing it, because who am I to push a kid who isn’t ready to let go of mommy’s hand? Well, the mommy, that’s [...]

Turkey, cold.

Here I am, folks. I haven’t forsaken you.

One last day.

I’m fixing to show my age here.
On the old sitcom Laverne & Shirley, the girls entered into a contest where they did a “supermarket sweep” type of race, where they had a limited time to race through a grocery store and load up their carts, winning whatever it was they could get across the [...]

Bee in my bonnet.

I am the sort of person that, when I get an idea stuck in my head, I cannot let it go until I have processed it and acted upon it. I have inherited this trait from my father, who will start a project and work slavishly at that project until it is done, like [...]

Photo Friday: Man, I got nothin’ today.

So how’s about I just toss this out there and go on my merry way.

Is it Friday yet?

Ever have one of those weeks where you had no idea what day it was for the majority of the week? That’s been my week this week. I’ve been thinking it’s Thursday for the past two days. Imagine my great disappointment when I figured out there was only one Thursday in a [...]

Off the hook.

My husband is a lucky, lucky man.
Because I am not a romantic sort of person, I have given him a free pass today. He is under no obligation to send flowers, buy anything, or take me anywhere in the name of Valentines Day, and by mutual agreement, I am off the hook too.
Maybe it’s a [...]
