Evolving from the person I am to the woman I want to be.
When I was a child, the US flag flying at half-staff was an honor reserved for holidays such as Memorial Day and Pearl Harbor Day, death of a government official, in remembrance of other national tragedies (such as September 11), and occasionally death of a service member. Today, Governor Chris Christie ordered that the flags [...]
Next week, I’ll be heading to Nashville, along with about 700 of my soon to be best blogging friends for Blissdom 2012. Today, the announcement was made that Rascal Flatts will be playing the party on Friday night, along with Joe Jonas, but I don’t know if I’ll be there to see them take the [...]
It seems like every day, there is a picture of a sick or “disfigured” child on my Facebook feed, shared by friends thanks to the promise of a free surgery for the child it it’s shared X number of times or pennies donated to a fund for the surgery for every share. At first glance, [...]
When I posted my little rant about living every day as it could be your last, I never thought I would be given the type of reminder I was today. Thanks to Facebook, I’m more connected to much of my family than I ever have been in my life. Today, one of my cousins who [...]
So, this morning I headed to the post office to pick up the package they all but attempted to deliver yesterday. While I was there, I casually mentioned to the woman working at the counter that they might want to put a note on the “attempts” to apartments stating they will not be redelivering because [...]
So, it’s 11pm on the night before Valentine’s Day and I’m sitting at my computer thinking about the things I absolutely must do before I go to bed. These aren’t things I can put off until tomorrow morning, these are the things that I have to do so Mack is well prepared for her Valentine’s [...]
No, really, it’s all their fault! I would be a glowing beauty tomorrow, the day of love, if not for the USPS and the lies they put on their website! As part of Mack’s “non-commissionable chores” she chose to be on mail duty. Well, silly me, I wanted to see what would happen today, the [...]
Well, 2012 is finally upon us. In just over 10 months, we’ll know if the world is truly going to cease to exist as we know it this year. Honestly, I’m sitting here thinking back to how catastrophic Y2K was supposed to be and how we all survived. I have to say, the thing I’m [...]
I have to admit that I haven’t paid much attention to Whitney Houston over the past decade or so. She went from a brilliant, beautiful, well-mannered starlet to a troubled, drug addicted train wreck and I couldn’t stand to watch it unfold. When I was a child, I listened to her on my purple boom [...]
Tonight, as I stood in line at our local grocery store worrying about everything I have on my plate right now, I saw something that I hope I never forget. There was a woman in the next aisle, her check had just been declined and she had to not only leave her groceries in the [...]
