Blog readers, life is inexplicably odd. Make that odd, strange and unpredictable. I’ve often said that there are many things in life that I will never understand until I get to heaven. I even keep a mental list of questions that I’ll ask God when I get there so it won’t drive me mad wanting […]

Making a List and Checking it Twice
News flash! I’ve finished with nearly half of my holiday shopping list. What a shocker. It is truly amazing what one determined, and overly caffeinated woman can do in one hour. (What is today’s perfect Starbuck’s beverage? Holiday shopping = a double shot peppermint mocha, no whip.) No budget-minded woman heads into the war zone, […]
Bad Economy + End of Year + Political Changes =
A lot of nervous bunnies inside companies these days. I receive regular updates on “downsizing” around town and nationwide. I think I’ve become hardened by it all. This bunny’s nose doesn’t even twitch any more.
Wrong Warning Label
I am tired of coughing. I am tired of blowing my nose. I am tired of Kelly coughing, blowing his nose and snoring because he can’t breathe. (I’m quite certain that I am not snoring, of course, and I wouldn’t believe you if I said I was.) Last night, I pulled out the good stuff: […]
By-Products of a Too-Busy Schedule
A schedule that’s overly full comes with additional baggage. Higher stress Living from deadline to deadline Exhaustion Naughty kitties, and Compromised immune systems Sure enough, all of that’s happened to us. Last night, Kelly said, “I am sick. I have a cold.” I looked at him, thought about it for a minute and realized that […]
I Need a Teenager
I never thought I would say this, but right now I wish I’d had kids when I was in my early 20s. I’ve always been fairly happy about our decision to wait on children. Being child-free, particularly in your 20s, gives you a certain amount of freedom while you still have energy and desire to […]
Hey Kids? What DAY is it?
Well boys and girls, it’s Three Cups of Coffee Day!! I feel beaten up and exhausted, and all I’ve done is sit in a car for hours (and hours and hours) on a business trip. Feeling this way really makes me look forward to sitting in a car for a long drive to an out-of-town marathon. […]
I’m Not a Loner and I’m Not a Grouch, But
I have a serious mini-crush with Facebook right now. However, I don’t want to be everybody’s Friend in Facebook. There are relationships I want to maintain, family that’s easier to catch up with online than at a reunion, or old friends I want to reconnect with. LinkedIn is one of the most helpful networking tools […]
Listening to the White Noise
I love November 5th. No more frantic last-minute pitches. No more doomsday music-filled ads. The election is over. Americans have spoken and soon we’ll be able to sort out truth in action from campaign fiction. Quite frankly, it’s time for all of us to move on to the business of working and living. It’s almost […]
