Leave the Dishes…

Leave the dishes.
For the past few weeks I’ve been emotionally unsettled, off balance and vulnerable.    I have blamed it to the post vacation funk that I used to finding myself muddling through when I return to work after time off.  I’ve also blamed it on the added stress that I’ve been encountering in my professional [...]

Sick Day and a Lesson in Almost Dying

My ex husband used to say that I was a perfect wife when I lost my voice.  If we were still married this morning would have been one of those “perfect wife” days.
I decided to keep the my little buddy with me.   Mostly because I didn’t feel up to driving her to the babysitter’s house [...]

Ugh!

I have over 230 unread items in my Google Reader.
Update:
There are currently no unread items sitting in my Google Reader.  Of course I didn’t read EVERYTHING that was in there but I do think that I spread myself around pretty well and read a bunch of different blogs.
Why do I do this?  There are a [...]

Highlights of 2008

January.  January of 2008 was  the beginning of  an amazing year.    I woke up on New Years Day to the start of a new life and a hot shower!
Getting my BlackBerry.  I have to admit that my BlackBerry has changed my life.  I now have access to my various email accounts, my Facebook, CNN, the [...]

Lightbulbs: An Inner Dilemma

Two and a half years ago I moved out of the house that I had previously occupied with my former spouse and moved into a small, cozy two bedroom duplex in town.  My living alone experience prior to this was … um… ZIP, NADA, ZILCH.  Sure I had went off to college but I  spent [...]

One Of Those Days

Today is/was/continues to be one of “those” days.
You know the ones.
The ones where you realize that you forgot about the cookie exchange you’re having at work the next day and you don’t have the energy to come home after working all day and be a Mom and bake cookies for other [...]

Lips (A Study in Contrast)

There are two moments when I am most aware of my lips.
The first is when I am kissing someone.  There is a moment when my lips are millimeters away from another set of lips.  That split second before they touch.  I find myself blissfully aware of where my lips are on my body and in [...]

Year Of the Classic

The end of the year is approaching.
In 2008 I participated in a 50 book challenge.  I knew going into it there was no way that I would meet that goal.  (Hello, defeatist attitude!!) It was a nice challenge to see just how much I could read in a year and even though I’ve only read [...]

DoSoEvAyMo Revisited

Happy November 1st!!
Today is World Vegan Day and in Mexico (and down the street from where I live) they are celebrating the Day of the Dead.    It’s also the start of National Novel Writing Month, affectionately called NaNoWriMo and  National Blog Posting Month.  You guessed it, NaBloPoMo.   Last year I decided that I needed [...]

Hypnotized

This week has culminated in a Friday that’s left me  more than a bit stunned.
When I’m struggling to breath or when I’m searching aimlessly for the point to something  pointless I turn to music.  Music tends to sooth the savage beast of emotions that have a tendency to overwhelm me.  Here is Ani Difranco singing [...]
