By now I should realize that all of the thinking, worrying and fear will inevitably be for nothing… irrespective of the outcome all of this time spent has absolutely no benefit. I am driving myself crazy and for what purpose… since I am keeping my things to myself, well, with…
Now, there’s a novel thought! For the past few days I have allowed an internal struggle in regard to Mr. Cute. I have intermittent thoughts; however, they are relatively constant. Feelings such as ‘what did I do?’, ‘how can I change this?’ and ‘will he ever call?’, yet, the one…
I will be the first one to admit that I have a cell phone and it provides me a lot of convenience; however, I will also say that by having a cell phone it ties me down to the expectation that I am always reachable. Irrespective of the ‘advances’ in…
Today, I had set out to do a number of things; however, what actually got completed was less than what I had planned; however, here’s the deal… I feel great! I was able to get home (finally) and hook-up my surround-sound system. I am on the hunt for the other…
We have not broken up; however, I have found myself in ‘giving him space’ mode… this time, he did not ask for it, yet, his treatment definitely warranted an out. I’ve been absolutely thrilled about this man because he is different, an against the grain type gent; however, one of his…
Today is the day that I became a Citizen of the United States! It has always been celebrated in my family. This year we had a family picnic and it was an absolutely beautiful day… the humid, unbearable weather that had plagued us for the past several days had passed…
For many Friday signifies the end of the work week; however, let’s give it up to those that trudge on through what many of us consider the weekend! For me, it starts my time with Mr. Cute! We’ve been overly steady with our weekend time…. I get over to his…
In today’s world it appears that women insist on being independent; however, I think that it’s been taken a little too far. I’ve been guilty of this as well; however, no longer. I do need others and more importantly I want others in my life. I have my family that…
Depending on where you live you’ve probably encountered a Canada Goose…perhaps you’ve been on the receiving end of their all too well-known protective nature, but, irrespective of the interaction I am sure you know a little about them. Here’s what I admire most about the Canada Goose….they mate for life. Yes,…
I’ve learned a valuable lesson recently and I definitely know that it is something that some women know all too well; however, I would venture to guess at the number of blog posts that MOST women do not have a clue as to what I am going to share….. When…
There are moments in life when you find yourself doing something that you would not normally do; however, some of those things could be new experiences whereas others are things that you perceive as demeaning and/or simply wrong. I am not going to be too elusive here, yet, I will…
Depending on who you ask… I have been known to be a little tough or rough around the edges..again, depending on who you ask. I can also be one of the softest, most vulnerable people you’ll ever know…. Again, depending on who you ask. Yet, what most of you may…
I’ve written several posts that are either about or mention Mr. Cute; however, it should be said that although he has become a central subject in my writings.. his position in my life is as a part, not as a whole. I enjoy writing about various experiences of which he…
There’s always such a clamor to be first! In racing, no one ever says I want to be last. The focus has always been on #1 as we all know what #2 is. Yet, when it comes to matters of the heart… being first is rarely ever the goal. I know that…
In a recent discussion with my Beau I joked that I was jealous; however, in truth he’s never given me an ounce in which to worry or be truly jealous about. As always we had a wonderful conversation, filled with equal listening and sharing… I know, it’s getting pretty sappy…
I love this word and it was recently brought to my attention by a friend… how was she feeling? Ambivalent… in truth this is about where I am at, somewhere between yes & no. This is probably one of the harder emotions to have as I am someone that has…
Have you ever known someone SO crazy that you want to encase them in glass and sell them to the Guggenheim? I do! In fact I have 2 that I know of. The one is certifiable whereas the other one could with some assistance probably find their way back to Saneville;…
I have become addicted to this series! It was introduced to me by a friend and I simply cannot tell you how much I enjoy catching up before the new seasons starts on 15 July 2012. WOW, what an incredible show! Never did I think the manufacture of meth would…
It would be all too easy to simply start this post with an explanation of the title…but, I will say that sometimes when you win, a chicken dinner is not your prize; however, when and if it is… enjoy it! We all show care in various ways.. if it was…
I think it would be funny to see this sign in a paleontology office.. Typically when experiencing something difficult someone will say this or something similar. I get that they are just trying to be helpful as nothing lasts forever; however, I think there are moments when you do not want to…
They say it’s time for you to come back! I have always loved the term “Village Idiot” – I suppose a quick Google search could tell me its origin; however, I am not much for seeking out the facts on this little gem. As far as I know I’ve never…
We always talk about the 3 little words; I love you; however, rarely do we ever speak of the 3 little words of most importance; I love me! As people we are raised to not bring attention to ourselves, to think of others and to never put ourselves higher than…
When you like someone you have a feeling of closeness and in turn that feeling of closeness compels a desire to be physically closer. I get that… it’s one of the cool things about being with someone special.. yet, too much of anything is well – too much. So, when…
When I was growing up I heard the expression to never burn any bridges… at a young age, I thought – duh, that’s arson. But, now being older and perhaps a little wiser, I now understand what the expression means. You never want to burn a bridge on the off…
I think when you care about someone deeply, every emotion you have toward them and/or for them is always stronger. I also believe that the people you are closest to or care a lot about are those that you can have positive & negative feelings for. It would be lovely…
I think it’s important that you set both attainable and unattainable goals. In truth, you do not necessarily know which is which and that should be part of the excitement. It’s easy to set goals that you know you have a great likelihood of achieving; however, how many of us…
Have you ever wondered why some people stay together? In all honesty, it is never truly anyone’s business; however, at the same time, there are those moments in which you simply have to wonder. For the most part I keep my eyes on my own paper, I have enough on…
Birth Control has always caused me to wonder… although all drugs must list their potential side effects.. some of the most common side effects of birth control are the following: Weight Gain Acne Mood Swings If you were to combine these or even take them on their own… they do…
I would like to think that the choices I make are solid ones; however, there are instances in which I make a choice based on various other situations that inevitably blows up. OK, with less dramatic entrance, I will rephrase, a recent choice I made due to extenuating circumstances has…
The Golden Rule is to treat others as you would like to be treated; however, despite that statement’s overall meaning, there is a twist to it when it comes to relationships…. I believe that you should be respectful not because someone else has been to you, but, because that is…
I am not quite sure what has been going on lately; however, I simply do not feel well. I would love to attribute my ailment to the common cold and be done with it; however, that is not it. Ugh! The weather has been relatively calm; however, the humidity is…
Most things require some sort of collaborative event…. I’ve seen shirts that say: Plays well with others; however, never would I think to buy one for myself. I know that I play nice; however, at the same time as I age, I also know that I play strict. Never will…
I’ve been dealing with my ‘baby weight’ recently. I thought that since my ‘baby’ graduated from High School it was about time. Although my son was never a chore, there were times throughout his childhood where my energy to do much else that survive was slim to none. I carried…
There are certain things that truly hit me at my core… and in some cases have caused me to absolutely come undone… Cruelty to those that have limited or no voice, more specifically Wrongs to the Elderly, Incapable individuals, Children and/or Animals. I am not quite sure what can be…
It could be my Libra energy that inherently forces me to seek balance in all that I do; however, I have to think that some of that is simply practical thinking. Lately I have had an exciting addition in my life… one that I am very happy and elated about!…
I will always say that children come when they come… yet, I believe that I was born at the wrong time. I know that the grass is always greener on the other side; however, despite that knowledge I sincerely believe that I should have come to this world… around the…
I will be the first to admit that Females of all ages can get a little crazy; however, I would like to make the following request: Ladies: If you’re dating for dinner, self-validation or you have nothing better to do, please, take yourself out of the game, you’re ruining perfectly…
It never ceases to amaze me how much a smile or sincere gesture can put me on Cloud 9! All too often the super-sizing of things appears to be what the world desires; however, I’ve always been impressed by little things. When someone holds a door open for you as…

All too often I’ll hear someone talk about having Common-Sense; however, their actions do not always support their position. When I think about the word common-sense as it is…. it’s a combination of 2 relatively simple words, common to mean typical, normal.. regular and then sense, the idea that there…
There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.
Yesterday I received a text notification and since it wasn’t Mr. Cute’s tone I did not consider it immediate; however, when I glanced over to see who had sent the message I must say that I was a bit shocked… it was Mr. Special… Remember him? I do, but, not…
I’ve had a few nicknames over the years, some that stuck for a period of time whereas others were specific to the person. I am finding that the word “Honey” brings a smile to my face like no other; however, it could be said by a thousand people, yet, ONLY…
That Whitesnake song immediately comes to mind as I write this post…. Is this love that I’m feeling? Is this the love that I’ve been searching for? Is this love or am I dreaming? This must be love ’cause it’s really got a hold on me A hold on me…
During a funeral the other day Linda Ellis’ poem The Dash was mentioned. Just a few words of the Orator’s mention were enough for me to retain the name of the poet as well as the poem. Once the funeral was over I looked this poem up on my phone….
When we lose a loved one… where does the pain come from? Is it from the fact that they will no longer experience this or that OR is it because we will no longer experience time with them? In most cases I would venture to think it stems from the…
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…
