Sticky post
Since I began this blog, my goal was to post something every day, Monday – Friday. Except for one (very busy and grandchild-filled) Wednesday, I’ve accomplished that goal. I have found that I have quite a few “Accidentally Human” stories (they seem to never end, so I’ve decided to go ahead and order the bubble-wrap suit, helmet and bedazzled “Fall Risk” jewelry), and I have … Continue reading Bloglettes
I am just one crappy day away from becoming a picture on the side of a milk carton. Continue reading Have You Seen Her?
Lixie, my 11 year old cat, comes bounding into the living room and I think, “Oh look! She’s still a kitten at heart!” She’s making these cute kitten sounds and acting all playful around my feet. I’ve had a rough day, so I slide off the chair and plop down on the floor next to her. “Hey kitty kitty… what’s up?” She meows and purrs … Continue reading Ice Ice Baby

I admitted that I had not. “Oh my God, you HAVE to watch it! It … Continue reading More Than

Lifting above the storm, my mind wanders back to when I first met you. I think I was at my most damaged. Even though there was plenty of harm yet to be done, I was already a mess. Am I better now? … Continue reading Untitled
Dear Readers, I was just playing around with some settings and found the “password protected” setting. I was trying it out (there was no body to the blog) and didn’t realize it would send an email to all of my readers. I apologize, and now I feel I must write something worth reading. So how about a question. Riddle me this: Why is it in … Continue reading Oops!
My stomach growled. I hadn’t had anything to eat since the ants in my coffee. I know. You have questions. Hold your horses. So far, I was the only one up. I stretched my pajama-covered legs and swung them off the daybed. The sun was shining over my shoulders, and I paused to admire my freshly-pedicured toes. I grinned, remembering that the pedicure had … Continue reading Breathless
