Back At It
I’m back. Again. Did you miss me? No? I didn’t figure you did, but I thought I’d ask anyway. A lot has happened in the year since my last spellbinding post. For one thing, I lost the database to my blog when I switched hosts. Thankfully I had a backup, but my images didn’t transfer…
Read MoreThe Summer of my Content
It’s been close to three months since I quit working and I feel really good about the successes I’ve achieved this summer. If these accomplishments are any indication of what the rest of my years will be like, then I can look forward to a very fulfilled and satisfied life. I watched the first four…
Read MoreRegressing in Retirement
I have my first week of retirement under my belt. I would consider it a bit of a fail. I didn’t do 15 minutes of writing every day, nor did I do 15 minutes of decluttering or organizing a day. Do you know what I did do for 15 minutes a day? Nothing. Actually that’s…
Read MoreOn The Road To A Great 2015
2015 is a big year with some huge milestones for me. In May I will celebrate 10 years as a cancer survivor and in November I’ll be a half a century old. My 40’s have not been at all what I had planned them to be. I’m fairly certain that if I didn’t have a…
Read MoreNo Control
I am so tired. Not just tired, but face-numb tired. I’m paying for my night of debauchery. That’s what happens when Todd’s out of town and Katie’s at a banquet. I get wild. Since it was just me for dinner I got lazy. You know how sometimes you’re hungry, but you don’t want to actually…

In roughly three months Taylor will be eligible for his driver’s license. While the thought of turning him loose with a fast and heavy machine scares me, I also look forward to it. My life would be just a tad bit easier – like tonight. Here’s this evening’s schedule: 4:30 leave the house, drive to…
Read MoreThe Whole Work Thing
Nearly 14 years ago when Todd and I decided to take the leap of faith and have me quit work it was a scary, scary thing. Taylor was three and Katie was a baby and financially it probably wasn’t the smartest thing to do. It was the exact right thing to do for the family,…

If someone were to ask me what my favorite day is I would normally answer “Saturday”. I do love Saturday. Somewhere in my archives I mentioned I love Saturday so much I would marry it if it would have me and I weren’t already married. But right now I think Monday is my favorite day.…
Read MoreTaking a Break
I’ve decided I have too many irons in the fire and not enough hired help. There’s the spring cleaning, end of school year activities and a few writing projects. Never mind the usual stuff — cooking, laundry, work, etc. – that I never seem to be caught up on. Maybe if I didn’t spend quite…
