It’s been a tick!
Many years. I’ve been absent many years.
In this time I’ve found things that bring me joy. I’ve gotten married. My son has graduated high school. I’m now anxiously waiting to retire so I can actually start living life more fully.
I may be returning here. There’s less noise and more thought.

Worky work work stuff
Grumble. That's where I'm at right now. About to get very busy, but then learning that I will get considerably less busy after the new year, possibly getting much more busy fourth quarter but not certain....it's very frustrating. Mostly, I want to not work any longer. Thank you promoters for women's equality and all that, but being the head of ( Read more... ) -
Once upon time
Once upon a time, in a world just like ours, there lived a tiny girl who thought she was huge. Now, this girl wasn't exceptionally tiny, but was small enough that it was a trait that others could comment upon, when they felt comfortable to comment at all. In her mind, our darling girl was fierce and powerful and able to take on the world, but ( Read more... ) -
Grrrrrrrrr
I had a lovely post about a dentist appointment, how I need a vacation, and despite that need how I was filled with gratitude for my life, friends a blessings. But, because I had this location thingy set to on the posts wouldn't take because the toy doesn't allow that sort of nonsense. Hence, this second and quite inferior post that is bland and ( Read more... ) -

Good morning foggy Saturday
I love the fog. I have said it before, I will say it a million more times. I love the fog. I love to drive in it, I love to walk in it, I love to look at the elements surrounding me when bathed in it. Fog makes everything softer, muted, and ethereal. In my head, I like to pretend that if I were to walk far enough, I would walk right out of ( Read more... ) -
Hacked
Hey everyone, apparently my email account was hacked and I started sending all sorts of messages to folks which I didn't really send because I wouldn't do that. Anyway, thanks to all who alerted me to this fact (2nd time in a month I had something jacked...lucky me) and hopefully it won't even happen again. -
May 2011
I love spring. I do. I like the new growth, the unpredictable weather, the smell of lilacs, and those other flowering trees. I love to walk around the yard to see what plants are coming back from their hibernation through the winter. I love to plant things and then confirm they don't hate me and didn't uproot and stalk away (I had a cucumber ( Read more... ) -
Weekends RULE
This weekend, my son surprised me by wanting a sleep-over at Aunt Megan's. This Aunt Megan agreed to, because she does rock. That left me surprising Chris with "just the two of us" this weekend. It was wonderful. Saturday afternoon was soothing. A friend in need called him begging for a ride somewhere, and after checking with me (seriously, he ( Read more... ) -
Just stuff
I love my boy. He's going to be 8 in a fes weeks. EIGHT. I'm the mom of a nearly 8 year old. This floors me. I don't feel like I'm the mom of a nearly eight year old. I feel like I'm a corporate professional, on a career path towards some sort of success, and part of the way there. But in this fantasy I'm also living in a big city, not a mom ( Read more... )
