John’s job situation

I thought he’d announce it on his blog, but since he hasn’t….
John got a new job. He starts on January 14th. I told him to enjoy these next few weeks of sleeping in.
He’s working for Driftwood in Egg Harbor, so he’s back to commuting again (and paying for a [...]

It’s anti-bigotry, not political correctness.

My husband ragged me recently about being politically correct because I included good wishes for everyone celebrating a holiday during the last few mpnths. I get this comment a lot, so I thought I’d explain. It’s part of my resolutions, after all.
I’m not committing what seems to be a horrible phrase [...]

Interesting horoscope

Of course, this could fit anyone!
Pay closer attention to your dreams — both the kind your subconscious cooks up while you sleep, and the kind your conscious mind creates as part of your life goals. They may seem like fanciful ideas that express your innermost hopes, but they can also be a real roadmap to [...]

Growing Old with Dogs – a wonderful poem

Grow Old With Dogs
When I am old…
I will wear soft gray sweatshirts…
and a bandanna over my silver hair…..
and I will spend my social security checks on wine

I will sneak out in the middle of a warm summer night
and take [...]

Kwanzaa and resolutions

I took what I learned about Kwanzaa in Epcot last year, and used it as a guide for making this year’s resolutions. Who am I as an individual? Who am I as a member of a family? and Who am I as a member of a community and a society?
So to be a better individual:

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

It’s building to be a wonderful Christmastime!
On Wednesday night, the local high school band surprised our neighborhood with a small parade complete with Santa! We all came out of our houses to thank them and applaud.
On Thursday, John came up for lunch and brought the dogs.  It really picked up my day and a [...]

We’re back!

I caught a cold from switching from warm weather to cold and rain.  And I’m in trouble at work.
So glad to back.

NaNoWriMo

Well, I did and didn’t do NaNoWriMo this year. I wrote more than 50K words, but it was for my fanfiction sci-fi novel, The Race of Cain. Since it’s based on an established universe and not all original, I didn’t submit it to the contest.
So I’m disappointed that I let myself get backed [...]

Vacation starts tomorrow!

I am getting really excited, despite all the things I have to do today!
Especially now that I’m really feeling better.  Each day will get better as long as I use my saline spray like the doctor said, and I don’t have any limitations to worry about on the trip.
So everything is packed!  Got a few [...]
