Recently I wrote a post in regard to Nosey Parkers and I was quite adamant about how against snooping I am; however, I must admit that I tripped up a little bit. Mr. Cute is anti-picture; however, I wanted to see if there was another picture that I could add…
I’ve written in past about how precious time can be; however, I think it’s worth mentioning again. As I plan to attend the funeral of a friend that has recently crossed over to the other side… I am reminded just how lucky I am to be here – today! I…
Driving into work today was its typical frustrating commute all 7.6 miles of it. Every morning I get on the highway and try to move left as quickly as possible. This morning was a little annoying as a Prius wanted to run parallel to me. Now, I had a bit of…
In a previous post I mentioned how happy I am to be in my 40’s versus my 20’s and I am sure that there are those happy to be 20 rather than 40; however, that’s the beauty twice as many years has brought me. Recently, I’ve met a ton of…
Ever been told to “Act like a Lady”? I’ve heard it a time or two… Yet, what does it truly entail? Is a curtsy involved? Should we dust off the white gloves and bonnet? Can you still be considered a lady if your professional dress involves Dickies or Carhartts? Just…
I like to think that I am a pretty smart cookie; however, there are moments in which I want to just step outside of my body and slap myself. Or perhaps replay the scene in Moonstruck with Cher… Hearing certain things can be unpleasant; however, the root of the unpleasantness…
I could be dating myself; however, who remembers the movie 9 1/2 Weeks? There was a scene where Mickey Rourke had left Kim Bassinger in his apartment, while he went out…. during his absence, he called her as she was going through his things… he asked her if she was…
All too often I’ve been told this, advised that, yet, for the most part I would continue on my own path. I felt that since it was my path that it should be at MY direction; however, my professional life has always been about learning, growing, improving and a lot…
Very Enthusiastic Type Ever Ready And Noble… Yet, we do not truly appreciate them when they return from serving our country. Say what you want; however, as a Nation we are kinder to illegal immigrants than we our to those that have risked or given their life for all of…
Last night while texting with a friend .. he said that he had a great day! I inquired what made it so great and he said: “I woke up!” How many of us really think about life that way? More often than not, we talk about what has caused us pain…
Confidence is a funny thing…. I have more than my share of it. I have taken great risks in various parts of my life, some have failed miserably whereas others panned out to a ‘t’ yet, when it comes to other people…. I am not going to say that my…
These days there are so many entertainment options out there; however, few carry the degree of quality that I enjoy. In truth, I fall victim to sensory overload and simply tune it all out, yet, then I am not aware of the latest, and because of this, I miss out…
It should be nearly impossible not to like who you are…. I make no assumptions that I am perfect; however, I wake up each morning happy, excited and ready for just about anything that may come my way. I do this because the possibility of not waking up is always…
Anything new causes some sort of ‘adjustment’ period, whether it’s a new pair of jeans, a career or even a vehicle… there’s a period in which you are learning. For instance a new pair of jeans can be a rewarding or horrific experience, depending on the size. It’s not necessarily…
Throughout the years I had always loved dogs, but, apartment living simply did not allow the type of dog that I wanted. I wanted an English Mastiff, Newfoundland, Great Dane something along those lines.. until I met “Toke” – a brindle, pit bull chained to a tree. When I would…
I really enjoy writing this blog, I do. I have made some wonderful friends, opened myself up to whoever may come across and in truth have learned a great deal about who I am; however, I have no desire to write much about Mr. Cute here. I am finding myself…
Throughout my childhood I can remember family vacations to Breezy Point Resort… we would load up in the car and make the trip. Never did we experience a vacation like the Griswold’s; however, we still had our moments. I know that we stopped in Royalton, MN at Treasure City, I…
My blog post schedule is similar to that of airplane arrivals…. some are delayed, in other words, they were started and parked in the DRAFT area, whereas others are dead-on-balls-accurate (it’s an industry term, My Cousin Vinny)… yet, some posts are early, in other words they were premature thoughts, experiences…
My romantic life eerily resembles the childhood favorite: The Boy Who Cried Wolf…Any close friend will roll their eyes when I announce that I’ve met ‘The One’, yet, true to the childhood story… when, I truly believed, felt and knew that I met ‘The One’ the eyes began to roll…
I’ve thought a lot about 3 little words and the huge expectation that typically follows. I have said I love you to many people… My Parents, My Son, My Best Friend and never once do I wait and/or tap my finger for a reply. I already know that they love…
