2014 Was Interesting — Onward to 2015!!

We’re already here. lol In all sorts of ways last year was very interesting for this writer. I dealt with a period of elevated stress in the spring, and for the rest of the year did a lot of learning and thinking about where I’m headed and what I want out of LIFE in general. […]

Leaving Town for Another Wedding

That’s right. I just said that about a fortunate couple’s wedded bliss. Another wedding. Let’s be honest; it’s been high season on weddings for some reason this year. And everyone has us go somewhere. So we’re off to Bend again. My mother-in-law lives there, so that’s a bonus. But it still means driving three hours […]

Living the Dream

I’m back! It’s been kind of a rocky week. I had a blast on my mini-vacation, with all sorts of fun family activities and a little time for myself, then got back to work for one day before my kids got sick and had to stay home. So now we’re going a bit stir-crazy, but […]

Round of Words Goals Post

It’s time to start the third round of Round of Words in Eighty Days, the writing challenge that knows you have a life. In this challenge, each writer works toward their own goals over the course of almost three months. This is my fifth round with ROW80. I joined up for the third round of […]

The Story of My Life

Alrighty whippersnapper. (That’s me talking to me.) Time to get that rear in gear. So … who never managed to do a ROW80 close-out post? Who? That’s right; me. I don’t even think I’ll add it to the linky tool, because I doubt anyone goes back to it. However, I also don’t want to start […]

Crazy Weekend Ahead

I took the afternoon off of work because I have far too much life stuff to do at the moment. A very dear friend is getting married in four weeks, so the next two weekends are full of festivities to celebrate her single life, and that which lies beyond — marriage. 🙂 I think our […]
