Gone, gone, gone

I’m a bit obsessed with this tree. See here. And here. And here. Something about the thousands of delicate white blossoms makes me happy. And the fact that the tree stands gloriously in our front yard ensures that I can see those blossoms every time I gaze out the living […]

Grrrrrrr

I am in a super-duper rotten mood today. I’ve said the F-word probably 72 times this morning. Just for fun. Out loud. With venom. I am not mad at anyone in particular. Just myself, maybe. For being in such a horrid state of mind. I’m not depressed. Just angry. And […]

We are outta here!

Well, in less than 24 hours we are. And I’m soooooo ready for a vacation. I’m eager to say goodbye to the wet, crappy snow that fell on Wednesday and that still lingers in my backyard despite a lovely day of sunshine. It may snow in April in Michigan, but […]

The yin and yang

Sometimes it’s easier to complain. I think it’s human nature. But in the spirit of balancing the negative with the positive, here’s my take on today.

Just 10 minutes, please!

I have had a post, about my drive to Chicago, ready to write for three days now. And I can’t find a moment to do it. What gives? I will say that I’ve had time to eat plenty of Peeps this week. I guess you know where my priorities are!

Tipping the scales

I can NOT believe how much of a blogging slacker I’ve been lately. To be honest, I’m trying to prioritize and sometimes jotting down my random, meaningless thoughts just can’t be a priority. Sadly enough. Because I rather relish my inane chatter on this website. I’m struggling to find balance. […]

OK, people…where’s my brain?

I thought, with my previous post, that one of y’all would have returned it by now. Seriously. I need it. It’s bad enough that I took nearly a year to complete the N-600 form and mail out all of the stuff to the folks at Homeland Security. (What is that […]
