Love at First Sight
Today on Facebook, one of my friends asked everyone if they believe in love at first sight? Believe it or not, yes I do. Next month we will celebrate our twelfth wedding anniversary. Me and *ahem* my beloved, the man I looked at as he sat in a wing chair in the River Oaks Ethan [...]
Enduring May- A Mother’s Day Post
I had a rough evening. I was just down in the dumps, suffering with a headache, and generally not feeling real peppy. I don’t like to share with you my ‘downs’ but yesterday’s had a reason. It’s that time of year again. May. I love and hate May. I was born in May. May 12th [...]
Weather the Storm…
I have to share this little story with you about one of my coworkers who recently had heart surgery… About 2 months ago, out of the blue, his beautiful wife suffered a heart attack over the weekend and sent his life into a tizzy… she had been very healthy, no heart disease in her family [...]
Facts About Country Life
Another recycled post in the migration… this post was originally written on March 26, 2009 and re-reading it now, I think you’re going to like it- Country Life- the Facts There’s no getting around the fact that there are some ‘givens’ that come with this zany life. I mean, let’s face it: 1. Life is UNpredictable [...]
Thinking about the Joy(e) of Motherhood
I have a dear friend that is about to have a baby. Her first. She called me recently, and I missed her phone call. I haven’t had a chance to sit down and really talk, so I haven’t tried to call her back yet. I will. She knows this. I’m kind of lost like that, [...]
Two Easy Ways to Help Haiti
I thought and thought last night about how my voice, through this blog, could make the greatest impact to help those suffering in Haiti. I know that we are all shocked and saddened by the devastation we see reported from Haiti. One of the greatest qualities of the American people is our giving and generous [...]
Reinvention
It is New Year’s Eve. I generally don’t like New Year’s Eve much. I think the very best New Year’s Eve I have ever had was one in my early twenties when I went to a Prince concert with my friend Tammy. Now THAT was exciting. The rest of them have been, well… a chore. [...]
Out of the Blue!
I always feel the need to think seriously, pragmatically, responsibly-if you will, in all situations. Maybe it is a result of having WAY too much irresponsible fun in my 20s or that as a Mom, I see everything through different (panicked!) eyes. It’s gonna stop- well, somewhat… I need to have some fun, to cut [...]
Weird and Wacky Wink
I had something happen today that I can only explain as being yet another God Wink. Really. This one scared me at first. OK: let’s set the scene. I am sitting at my desk at work, looking through the files of the Museum trying to locate an image that I know I’ve seen but don’t [...]
Devastating Inspiration on Biggest Loser
Last night I was inspired. I have watched The Biggest Loser for several seasons, and for several reasons. One of the early reasons was I had alittle crush on Trainer Bob. He’s a cutie with a cute little southern twang that comes out when he’s emphatic about something. His tattoos yet clean cut look seem [...]
A Bushel and A Peck
Okay, so yesterday I told you how I had received another sign that I knew was meant only for me. I still am not certain what it actually means, but I just know that my Mom is trying to show me something… There’s this song… a song I know as well as I know my [...]
Do You Believe in Signs?
“i love you, a bushel and a peck… a bushel and a peck, and a hug around the neck… a hug around the neck… and a barrel and a heap, a barrel and a heap, and I’m talkin’ in my sleep, about you… about you… ” -Perry Como, 1950 song. Do you believe in [...]
** God Winks ** a recycled post worth reading again…
Immediately after the car passed me, I came upon them. Where the car had JUST been, stood two of the most beautiful, majestic, 8+ pointed bucks in the road, nonchalantely nibbling at nothing. They could not have been there a fraction of a second beforehand, for there had been a car in that lane! They were grazing in a very relaxed manner as if nothing could scare or spook them. I instantly slammed on the brakes and skidded to a stop, wondering how my very thoughts had become reality in a fraction of a second. GOD WINK?
