Someone I love had a really bad experience recently. Well, a more accurate description would be that she had a couple of bad experiences, and I have been thinking about her in the context of how she’s coping with them.
Why is it that we feel so compelled to label ourselves as failures? Why [...]

My doctor’s office came through for me yesterday (YAY!!), and I’ve been on the anti-viral for a little more than 24 hours. I still don’t feel great, but I do feel better. I crash at about 8:30, but I’m willing to cut myself a little slack for that; immune system work is tough, [...]

Ugh.
There is something wrong with my body in that it has never held a resistance to the Chicken Pox virus. I had the disease twice when I was a child; once in kindergarten, which I don’t really remember all that well; and once in third grade, which I remember far too well, thank you [...]

I got to spend some time with Organic Mama yesterday. One thing lead to another and, before we knew it, we were squared off at my dining room table over the Scrabble board trying to concentrate above the noises of the guy putting down the rest of the linoleum floors in my house.
I haven’t played [...]

It’s pretty freaking cold where I am. It seems winter has decided to descend upon New England after all.
We’d been doing really well with unseasonably warm temperatures around here lately. It was upwards of sixty degrees not more than a week or so ago, and the only thing falling out of the sky [...]

41. As I write this, I could turn on my iTunes and listen to music nonstop for 11 days and never hear the same song twice. I have 3,834 items in my library; everything from Mozart to the Muppets. Well, not EVERYthing - see #29.
42. I’d much rather be too hot than too cold. I [...]

At 10:15 this morning, I turned 38.
I’ve been pretty well loved already; I’ve received two phone calls and one e-card, and two people have written blog posts in my honor. I’ve gotten an internet well-wish, and my family pinned me down already for the honorary birthday spankings. It’s twenty to eleven in the [...]

My husband recieved the “winner” gift for Christmas this year. His dad got him this gorgeous old-fashioned map of the world, then had it matted in blue and framed. We hung it in the dining room / library this afternoon and it really makes the room seem complete.
I am loving how, little by [...]

I had lunch with some friends yesterday. I hadn’t seen these folks for any appreciable length of time since well before Christmas, so it was really nice to be able to sit down and catch up.
Around the middle of the entree, the conversation turned to the problems that one of my friends had been [...]

WeedWoman needed to go to a bookstore today so, being the good and true friend that I am, I sacrificed myself to her needs and accompanied her to our favorite used bookseller’s. Oh, the things I do for my friends.
I came out of the place with ten new additions to my bookshelves. I [...]
