Girl Fight
I know you all are going to think me crazy, another day, another tennis story. I mean who are these people I find to accompany me on the court, you ask? Well, here’s another tale that I hope you’ll find amusing. I’m laughing about it too , until next week when I will either be […]
Tough Crowd
I was resolved to don my big girl panties and drag myself out of the doldrums. I’d been indulging my foul mood, wallowing in the mud of self immolation. I thought I was finished with all that. I felt ready to greet the new day but then there was the thing that happened at Elementary […]
Bottom of the Tank
It dawns another ugly gray March day, depressing in its raw hopelessness. It’s supposed to be the advent of Spring. I feel betrayed. Where is my sunshine, my crisp breeze, where are the damn daffodils?
Admittedly, even without Mother Nature’s cruel withholding, I’d still be feeling pretty bleak today. Probably a culmination of two whole […]
Pestilence and Dramatic Weather Events
I’m typing a brief adieu, I’m off to Florida where I hope to unwind and run sand through my fingers and unveil my shoulders to the kiss of the sun for the first time since September.
But it’s got to get worse before it can get better, right? As you’re reading this, I’m probably […]
Excellence, Entourage and My Big Mouth
Slouchy is paying it forward today. While her blog has been rated excellent by fans everywhere, she has been kind enough to sweep a few of us along in the eddy of her success. She has waved her magic writing wand and doled out some ‘excellents’ of her own. I am blushing and giddy […]
Ending or Beginning? Depends on who you ask.
Further proof that I am an incredible wimp…Here I am cowering in the beach hut, eyes shut tight against the cold, while my brave hearted friends and relations take part in the annual New Year’s dunk, an Atlantic cleansing, a group baptism.
I am clearly involved in my own version of prayer, prayer that […]
The Anti-Resolution
It’s that time of year again, the nascent, early days when people feel they must tie themselves to some important cause, strap themselves to the fragile barrel of weight loss and plunge head-long into a New Year. Having made several disappointing trips down the river of good intentions, this year, I’m content to bob along […]
The Eight Wonders of Me
Way back when, Mizmell tagged me for a meme. I was supposed to share 8 weird things about myself. It was November. Ever since then I’ve been mulling over the possibility that I am not unique in any way, shape or form. This one has had me stumped, uncharacteristically speechless. It’s time I took a […]
My ‘Crazy’
We have had house guests. Oh, okay, I have had house guests and the other people that live here have merely enjoyed the additional meals and exceptional fussing that comes with my having company. For everyone else it was just another long weekend save for the five course meal on Thursday and the addition […]
Are you calling my kid average?
Yesterday was teacher/parent conference day. The kids were home from school bouncing off the walls and hanging from the banisters as a cold rain fell. I did manage to leave for a half an hour and complete a rather paltry 15 minute idea-share with each of their teachers. As always, the face to face time […]
