About three years ago, my daughter looked at me, her expression one of disbelief. She commented on know how I could get even the most unfriendly of cashiers to talk to me while they were checking out my purchases. And we’re talking cashiers who act like it hurts them to say hello to their customers. […]
Like niche segments of the population, I am addicted to television programs like Sleepy Hollow, Parenthood, and Haven. I’m also slightly addicted to brownies with lots of walnuts and chicken (not necessarily together). And is it sad that the first thing I thought of when hand sanitizer came to mind was this song? Seriously. I […]
My daughter and I like to take off for mini-vacations every now and again, and this time we decided to spend a couple of nights in Holland Michigan. It’s near Lake Michigan, which you all know by now I love. Plus they have a lot of cool stuff in that area of the state. Things […]
When you read the sign to your right, and see the word ‘dreams,’ what immediately comes to mind? Probably something to do with a goal, be it personal, related to your career, or something you’ve always wanted. But that’s not really what I see. Oh, don’t get me wrong, I sincerely believe that people should […]
So… Today marks the beginning of a change in my blog schedule. At least for the month of NaNo (as in National Novel Writing Month-November, aka NaNoWriMo). I’m so used to blogging three days a week, and the last attempt to cut back was not successful. I’m afraid this is addictive, but I’m going to […]
First, after much waffling over it, I finally decided to attend the local NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) Kickoff party in Lansing, MI. Many of you know I keep a third shift schedule, so attending an early afternoon event isn’t something I’m really thrilled about. But it was so worth it! I had the opportunity […]
…after freezing my way through a bonfire Saturday night, and continuing to freeze all day today, I’m kind of getting into the Christmas spirit. In fact, I’m sitting here listening to Straight No Chaser carols, and wondering if it’s way too early to hang a string of colored lights in my office window. The only […]
My daughter and I went on another picture-taking expedition today. Surprisingly enough, the ones I took turned out really good, too. I was just playing around with the camera here, but love the way it turned out. Love, love, love the reds! More reds… This was just too perfect to pass up. The lighting was […]
I can’t believe I’m posting this, but it was one of the few times in life where I literally laughed so hard I cried, my ribs hurt…and I felt like I’d gotten some great aerobic exercise. Before I share the link, because I can’t seem to reblog it, I’d like to make it clear that […]
Okay…besides that. Yes, sleeping is the other ‘best’ thing to do in bed. Someday…soon…I hope to get a little more skilled at that particular activity. I want to spend more time dreaming about weird stuff. Because I always dream about weird stuff. Maybe because I’m the queen of weird dreams… My current bout of insomnia […]
