Whilst I was looking for something else, I came across this.  It has me thinking I may give it a try.  Can I bring myself to answer all the questions and finish it up on Dec 31, 2012?  Probably not.  Let's be honest... I get bored with this blogging thing after a while and then stay away until I am interested again.  But maybe, maybe, if I know the ( Read more... )

So it happened again, as it always does… I write blog posts… I write them pretty consistently for a while even.  And then I disappear again… sometimes for a year or more (as you can clearly see.)  I often don’t have much to say that I haven’t already said somewhere else.  As you likely know, if you are reading this, I don’t much talk about myself ( Read more... )

This has been kind of a rough week or two for me.  I am not 100% certain why.  I do know that this is the time of year that is generally rough on our family as it is the anniversary of losing my father.  However, I haven't felt it as hard in the last several years so I am not certain it is that.  I do think that the argument I had with my mother ( Read more... )

A couple of days ago I was talking to Mom about a lunch she had with one of her cousins.  She does this every once in a while.  They live about three hours apart so they find a place to meet in the middle and sit and talk for hours.  Her cousin is a wonderful person.  Though I realize I am writing that as though I have no personal attachment to her ( Read more... )

So I have nothing really terribly important to talk about today.  However, I have a story that has kept my coworkers and I in giggles much of the day today so here you go...

Today, I got a call on our universal line.  This is the line that all our reps call when they are going to be out sick or if someone is looking for one of them and has called ( Read more... )

I do NOT know what is going on with me lately but I have been crazy cranky and I fear that it is likely someone may get in the way at the wrong moment.  Okay... That is probably not a REAL fear, but it seems possible that if I were to have the second chance at that snake again, I would feel less bad about it right now.

Do you have those days when ( Read more... )

Yep... yesterday was a bad day.  Well... in the overall scheme of things, it was good and I have no complaints about life yesterday.  However, I did deviate off my plan for this month, so today I reset my thinking.

I was super crabby today too.  I am not sure why.  I really wasn't when I got to work but it did only take a few minutes after I got ( Read more... )

I have been sitting here for a bit, staring at a blank screen, not knowing what I wanted to blog about today.  I probably had things in my head earlier but by now they are gone.  I also know I have things I need to blog about but I am not ready to talk about them yet.

So... I realized that maybe today is a good day to admit to some gratitude.   ( Read more... )

There is a possibility that you have heard the story of the random stranger showing up at my house at 12:30 in the morning a few nights ago.  I am sure she was a perfectly lovely woman, but I am not a fan of surprise visitors much less strangers in the middle of the night.

When I have relayed this story to people they have all said that they would ( Read more... )

Weird day.  Today was the day I let myself off the hook.  Not really sure why, but I suspect that it is mostly just a bit of burnout.  And this is the thing I need to get myself through.  The moments when I let myself off the hook.  I am not unreasonable.  I get that we all need a break from pushing ourselves too hard.  We all need to unwind and ( Read more... )
