It's that time again! 🙂 I'm starting to really enjoy collecting quotes for this particular blog. Today's theme is courage and competition. My engines are running, so it seemed to fit. This first quote is a perennial favorite of mine: Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage. … Continue reading CAS Friday Philosophy #3

Pinky and the Brain, in a way…#ArchiveDay
I have always been a champion multi-tasker. Plowing my way through multiple tasks with children talking to me and the phone ringing at the same time has never daunted me. Under pressure, my thoughts become crystal clear and razor sharp. Or, at least, they used to. As you know, I have been working on rebuilding … Continue reading Pinky and the Brain, in a way…#ArchiveDay
CAS Friday Philosophy…
My Dad's blog includes, every Friday, his post called "Friday Filosophy." I appreciate the alliteration, but cannot bring myself to misspell my title line. 🙂 For his blog, he includes various quotes from individuals from all walks of life. Last week, I commented on his blog, and he updated his blog with a "CAS Filosophy … Continue reading CAS Friday Philosophy…
A Sign of Intelligence…
Believe it or not, this blog is about my TOES. Specifically, my second toe (on each foot). Sad confession: I have my father's feet. Now, no girl really wants to say that. My feet aren't (obviously) as large as his, but I definitely have his feet. With those feet come the fact that my second … Continue reading A Sign of Intelligence…
Wonder Woman…
We have been thinking about Wonder Woman quite a bit around here lately... When I was a little girl, I desperately wanted to BE Wonder Woman when I grew up. Then, when I became a single mother and my daughter was hospitalized, I thought - " Forget this Wonder Woman nonsense! I just want a … Continue reading Wonder Woman…
Back to School…
Finally! This week, my two not-so-small munchkins went back to school. This has been harder on me than it has on them (thankfully). First of all, I had to compare "first day" photos from last year to this year. When did they grow so much? It's not just the fact that I am quickly about … Continue reading Back to School…

Back to Life…
Back to reality... It's diffficult when a song gets stuck in my head, on an endless loop, for hours. We are almost back to school here, to the land of a brand new Junior High student, and a Second Grader. I'm really not sure where all the time has gone. 🙂 I had my final … Continue reading Back to Life…
Adieu…
This morning, I bid a not-so-fond farewell to my "frenemy" of this past fifteen months: Goodbye, skin-drying, headache inducing surgical soap! I cannot say I will miss you, but I thank you for your service. 🙂 Blessings...
Mercury Rising…
My Doctors have been consistently encouraging me to sleep every single time I get tired, pushing for a "hibernation" type of existence lately. I'm a bad patient. I take my naps, none too gracefully, and a grumble and complain like a constipated bear. (I've never actually met a constipated bear, I hope I never do, … Continue reading Mercury Rising…
