My husband's father left him when he was 5 and in his place was left bitter taste. The majority of time I have known Rich, he has never spoken about his father but when he did he never called him dad, instead he would say "Roger." The sound of that name coming out of his mouth was akin to watching someone spitting rocks out of their mouth that didn ( Read more... )

                I have always had a love for mail. I think it all started when my sister and I were young and played “post office.” My sister, who was 3 years older than me and had a much better grasp on the American language and how to spell, would sit up a TV tray in the door way and I would ride up on my metallic blue tricycle and she would hand ( Read more... )

I realized how old I have become yesterday while out shopping for white elephant gifts. First of all, why is it that when you aren't supposed to be shopping you can find a million things you want or need but when you MUST buy something, your mind goes blank and nothing seems to be purchase worthy? I was so confident going into Bed, Bath, & Beyond ( Read more... )

This holiday season hid around the corner and waited for me to come skipping along before sticking it's leg out and tripping me face first into the ground. At his point I can assure you there will be no decorating. Not a single gift has been purchased and at this point I don't forsee any last minute shopping through Amazon occuring either. Believe ( Read more... )

The minute I go to bed at night, my husband magically becomes "the list maker." I wake up to  all kinds of list. List of ways we are going to get fit (work out regimes, how many sit ups, bear crawls, etc), things we need to cut back on (get rid of storage units, stop buying fast food), and (my favorite) " Things that need to get done around here".

I always wonder if when men and women get massages if they are the same. Like, no one would ever massage a womans chest muscles but do they on a man? and everytime I get a massage I feel like they spend way too much time on my butt area. I am sure I am imagining it but because I am curious none the less and so it is that everytime we leave the ( Read more... )

I know I have been lacking on posting lately. I meantioned in one of my last post about going to my parents, Christmas and taking photos of places and things reflecting my childhood...  Its a place and the memory I wrote about it for the bio I am working on. At the time this occured I was about 10 (I think). I hope you enjoy

I guess I am pretty lucky that my parents STILL live in the same old house that I grew up in. Of course as a child I never thought that. I wanted to move more that anything in the whole wide world. I would lay in bed at night and actually pray about it. All my friends had way cooler houses, newer houses, and some were even so lucky that they had ( Read more... )
