I started this entry a billion years ago, or so it seems. I had it open on my laptop, vowing to finish it THAT day, then the NEXT day, then the next… but there it sat.
Eventually, it became a bit obsolete.
What I planned on writing was: “Having a baby again after so many years has [...]

THE BIRDS!
Walking from my car into my office has become quite treacherous! For they’re everywhere…. the… BIRDS!
Parent birds that have taken up habitation in the bushes next to my works parking lot dive bomb anyone who would dare to tread near a nest. I actually had birdie feet touch-down a few weeks ago. The bird [...]
Sugar… Come Back to Me!
It’s like that typical (awesome) scene in a movie, where the man purposefully kisses a woman. You know what I’m talking about? He sees what he wants and with eyes locked on his target…. He sets out across the room/field/train/spaceship/car/Texas to get it… never stopping until there is lip-lock, and if he’s [...]
Leaving the Nest…. without going splat!
“Oh gawd, she’s not ready!”
Last Christmas my sister gave me a beautiful incense holder. It was a tall wood tower that you lifted off of a platform. In the platform was a small hole where you’d place the incense. Once lighted, and the tower in place on the platform, the incense smoke would stream out [...]
Cougar-ish Town
Coworker: Sandy… can I ask you a nosy question??
Me: Sure, what??
Coworker: Your boyfriend is younger, right??
Me: Why yes…. yes. he. is. (smirk)
Coworker: Sooooo, have you watched ‘Cougar Town’?? (smirk)
Oh gawd, is he looking for a fact-checker?!? Because I am NOT a cougar!
Confessions of a reluctant cougar….

Optomistic Lemming
There’s a great scene in the movie ‘(500) Days of Summer’ where a split screen demonstrates the intersection of expectations and reality. They meet and right when it seems as if they might merge on the same path, they often go their separate ways…..
And so it was with the expectation and reality of my New [...]
Why New Years Resolutions Suck Godzilla’s Yoo-hoo
The clock struck midnight and my mind was a flutter: a new year… a clean slate…. now what??
I knew that the New Year’s celebrations brought with it the moral obligation to complete a promissory note of self improvements to be done in 2010. I decided to be like Scarlett Ohara and put it off [...]
Honey, Honey…
When I was growing up, my parents would often reference a 1980’s movie “Fatso”. Perhaps you’ve never heard of this movie? For some, it’s a cult classic about eating, being a part of an Italian family, and watching the lovable Dom Deluise. In one scene, Dom’s character calls his support group over to [...]
Color Blind….
Have you ever lost something, like…. um… your keys?? You try and retrace your steps and places you might have left them. You close your eyes and picture your kitchen counter and that dish towel that you tossed, ever so carelessly, onto it. “Ah-ha!”, you run to the counter…. lift the dish towel…. and….. [...]
Working class dog…

It’s my dog, the quiet one. She doesn’t whine loudly like the other one, she’s a bit more subtle. Though, just as persistent as the other one… the one with the loud voice.
Poke.

She’s back, like a 9 month old, who can only give you garbley gook and crying. Though, to be fair, there is [...]
