The paper rustled and waved in the whoosh of the door’s opening. Is that what made me look? I don’t know. Tacked to the workout facility’s community cork board, a humble sheet of paper commanded my attention and sweetened my heart. The 8 1/2 by 11 inch day changer was nestled in amongst business cards, objects for sale, and other… Read More
The Path Walked By A Goody Two Shoes
Sometimes you just know. I saw the young couple in the grocery store, walking arm in arm, acting nonchalant. And yet there was something about their body language that held my attention. I watched the woman veer off towards the bakery section of the grocery store while the young man browsed in the meat department. The woman’s eyes cut to… Read More
Ah, The Little Things
There is an old saying that I love— “It is the little things that do you in. You can sit on the head of a mountain, but you can’t sit on the head of a pin.†How often do we over-react to pet-peeves that are merely simple, little, non-consequential repetitive irritations? In my case, fairly often. I seriously try to… Read More
More Cholesterol Numbers Than Answers
In one of those strange timing events, just as I pushed the red start button on my iced tea maker the phone rang. I jumped. Of course I know the iced tea maker doesn’t ring, but geez, that was weird. The call was from my doctor’s nurse, Kelly. She cheerfully gave me the results of my blood tests from last… Read More
Fantasy Playground…
A woman wandered by in a midriff baring outfit circa, well, the Renaissance. She was sucking on a bottle of water and chatting with a young man also in period dress. So what, you say? Well, she was obviously pregnant and I’m thinking that was not the normal way of announcing one’s good news back in ye old Renaissance…. Read More
Speculating on the speculum…
Yep. Today was that day. I had to get naked, put on a gown that never really closes, and “relax” on the examination table like a plucked turkey ready to be stuffed for Thanksgiving. I like my doctor. She’s incredibly sensitive to the indignity of Pap Smears and the accompanying… Read More
Camera cats…
I saw an interesting article on MSN today. (http://m.now.msn.com/cats-photobomb-people-and-pets-in-gallery-of-photos) The article referred to a trending term called photo bombing. It went on to say that cats love to have their photograph taken and will often sneak into pictures on the sly. While I don’t want to dispute the experts, Pudgy does not like her picture taken. In fact, whenever I… Read More
What did you do today…?
“Honey I’m home!” Kisses and hugs occur at this time, followed by… “What did you do today?” It is at such moments that I struggle to know what to say. I believe the common perception is that since I am a college student I sit around in my pajamas sipping tea… Read More
The years they keep a coming…
“What’s a bread box?” I still remember how shocked I was when a year or so ago my daughter asked me that question. In my youth we had a deluxe, double decker, metal bread box sitting on the counter filled with Wonder bread. By the way, the polka-dotted bags were not high on style but they made good boot liners….

Reining pennies….
“I just got word that we won’t be able to start cleaning until 10:30 p.m., so find something to do until then.” Those weren’t the words my husband and I wanted to hear, but then again, we weren’t surprised either. For the past ten years or so my husband and I have volunteered, along with other members of our church,… Read More
