another step
*Takes a deep breath* As of tonight, my home is up for sale. I can only hope it will sell quickly and for the amount I need to pay off the first and second mortgage. Nearly four months after my husband's death, I've emerged from the numbing grief enough to make a few decisions, and selling my house is a big one. My life is still very messy, ( Read more... ) -
Sad New, again
Without a doubt, this has been the more unfortunate year of my life. Last Saturday evening, my husband returned home from a bike ride. Sixty miles, he told my son. I was making chili when he came in, and when I asked what was going on, because he called home to have my son pick him up across town, he said he was in pain and just wanted to lie ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
I've decided that 2011 will most likely be one of my most difficult years, thus far. To top it off, last week my laptop died and I lost my cell phone. I managed to retrieve the files within my hard drive, including a handful of unfinished stories, but I can't open them on my new laptop or any other computer so far. Very frustrating ( Read more... ) -
Getting better, I hope
My Dad's funeral was Monday. I have to say it was a very positive experience and it was wonderful to be with my brothers and sister again and to seem my nieces and nephews. Each of my siblings and I stood up at the funeral and told a humorous story about Dad and then something we learned from him. I spoke about working at my Dad's gas station ( Read more... ) -
I'm a wreck
My Dad passed away this morning. I rushed home last Friday after learning both of my folks were in the hospital with pneumonia. It was bad. I learned upon arriving at the hospital that my Dad was not going to make it. He had a stroke in June and had been in a convalescent hospital since then and his condition noticeably deteriorated about four ( Read more... ) -
Things can only get better, right?
It's been a rough week. My Dad suffered a stroke last Monday. My Dad, Mom and brother debated whether or not he should accept the shot that you have only three hours from the time of the stroke for it to be effective. My Dad couldn't decide, so they waited and debated until the last minute. The doctor came in, saw he was improving and called a ( Read more... ) -
Lazy day, lazy song
Here's my theme song for the day. I smile every time I see this video. Hope you enjoy the monkey men, too. Oh, and Bruno isn't hard on the eyes, is he?
Two posts in one day, and the fact that I have time to look up videos is awesome.

Roadrunner catroon
No, I haven't actually fallen off the face of the earth, but I am on vacation and loving every minute I'm not at work. Lazing by the pool while reading the latest Mortal Instrument book is my favorite past time so far. And when hubby is off playing golf, I get that rare opportunity to write. Oh, and the weather here in Scottsdale is wonderful, ( Read more... ) -

Darn, it looks like you'll have to cut and paste. Cuteness warning.
