Misreading and Misunderstandings…

Today was an odd day. My eyes played tricks on me, quite often, but apparently I was not the only one. Today, a friend of mine jokingly stated that she had tendered her resignation in favor of a highly dangerous job, as that would be far less stressful than her current position. Somehow, in that … Continue reading Misreading and Misunderstandings…

A Blog A Day…

Keeps errant thoughts away?  No, not really.  Tomorrow marks the end of the Christmas vacation for the kiddos, and the return to the usual run run run run for the adults.  🙂  It's been an amazing holiday this year.  I find, no matter what the circumstances surrounding us may be, I am filled with abundant … Continue reading A Blog A Day…

Did you know they made a movie about us?!

Lara and I had a 12 hour long date today.  🙂  We actually did perform one errand (which involved a tiny amount of heavy lifting) but had the opportunity to see a movie rated more than PG, and go to a fancy dinner. We went to see "This Is 40." Bear in mind that Lara … Continue reading Did you know they made a movie about us?!

Friday Philosophy 2013…

It's my first Friday Philosophy post in a New Year...  Before posting any quotable quotes, or food for thought, I must confess that I am in a bit of an odd mood today.  Roughly translated, this means there probably will not be a coherent theme to what you read here today. 🙂 I've been listening … Continue reading Friday Philosophy 2013…

Tongue In Cheek…

I have a mental list that I seem to just build upon when I'm with my children. Okay, sometimes I make little notes to add to that list even when the children are not with me, but it happens. The list is a tongue in cheek "guide to life" of dos and don'ts that I … Continue reading Tongue In Cheek…

A New Year…

Hoping all of you are in high spirits, and filled with optimism today for this next year ahead of us. On the funny side, I opted for pigtails last night.  I barely have enough hair for that, so I decided they were not "tails" so much as "stumps." We had our traditional, family-oriented, hunker down … Continue reading A New Year…

What a Difference a Year Makes…

We are waiting for the munchkins to fall asleep, so we can set out the Christmas gifts beneath the tree. We've been looking through some photos from last thanksgiving, and last Christmas, and taking stock of life in general. Last year, at Thanksgiving, this was me: My little bald head. Oh, my. On Christmas morning, … Continue reading What a Difference a Year Makes…

Ponytail

Just in time for Christmas, my hair is (barely) long enough to pull back into a ponytail. Why this should make me ecstatic, I have no idea. 🙂 Here it is--- Thought I would share the silliness with you all. Blessings, as always...

CAS Friday Philosophy (Better late than…)

A Friday Philosphy from bed.  It's 9:30 p.m. here, and I have a very full day ahead of me tomorrow - and what looks to be an exciting one at that.  🙂 Some thoughts for today: “And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk … Continue reading CAS Friday Philosophy (Better late than…)

CAS Friday Philosophy (for the 4th time)…

It's already Friday.  I can't believe it.  This entire week flew past me in a chaotic blur.  I have a hard time easing back into things, so I have overdone it for the most part.  🙂 Still, here I am, ready to share some quotable quotes and delve into an equally hectic weekend.   "Can … Continue reading CAS Friday Philosophy (for the 4th time)…
