I Seem To Have Dropped my Blog

I Seem To Have Dropped my Blog

It happens…blogger burnout coupled with a new venture that turns out to be pretty successful.  How many times have a swore that I would keep posting here, only to once again drop off the face of the Earth?  By my count, at least 5 times in the last year. But things change and I find [...]

Growing as a Person, a Blogger and a Mommy

Not too long ago, I was a member (and president) of a moms club.  For 3 years I ate, drank and breathed that club.  I became friends with most of the members, our children played together.  I organized playdates and I was having a ball.  It was just like a sorority. But there was one [...]

Once Upon A Time

Once Upon A Time

there was a little girl named Mindi…. …and she dreamed of meeting The One …and she thought that she met him at the age of 19 …And The One didn’t love her the way that she thought that she loved him …And Mindi made a fool of herself chasing after him …And The One was amused, [...]

And NOW I’m back….

It seems that the phrase “I’m back” should have been delayed about a week.  That’s the thing about getting a bug up your ass and making a declarative statement.  AssBugs often don’t consider your vacation schedule. So let’s see…..what’s been happening since I stormed out of here in a huff? We just got back from [...]

Meet My Family (100 things, part 6)

When I get comments and emails expressing sympathy for something in my life, I often like to milk it for all it’s worth make sure that I provide updates.  My aloe plant is now just a little stump, but my sunburn is much better.  I still look like I’m wearing a red t-shirt, but it [...]

A little Fluff on a rainy day…

(Damn, now I want a peanut butter and fluff sandwich for lunch!) I am so behind on my memes, but the truth is I save them for days when I just need to bang out a post ’cause I got shit to do I put so much thought in to them that it can sometimes [...]

Protected: Shall we dance?

There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.

Someone grab me some cheese!

Caution:  some serious self-pity & whining follows Something has to give, and I don’t know what it is…nor is there anything that I want to give up (aside from scrubbing toilets, but that isn’t really an option). I don’t know what has happened recently.  My children are still wonderful and I love my husband….I just can’t figure out [...]

100 Things, Part Whatever (Ten things about my body)

It’s time to return to trying to complete my 100 things list.  I know you have all been breathless with anticipation.  I could tell from the deafening silence in my Inbox!  You were obviously all holding your breath and too on edge to type! I’ve been putting this one off because…well – it’s about my [...]

The downside to being frugal

Well, I promised that we would play catch-up.  Let’s see how many of these things I can combine in to one post! First – the virus:  On the reccommendation of BlogWhichShallRemainNamelessBecauseItIsn’tHerFault, I signed up for WebsiteThatShallRemainUnNamedBecauseTheyCouldSueMyAssIntoBankruptcy and started taking the surveys.  After filling out registrations, surveys and forms, most of which took 5-10 minutes for [...]
