The Waiting Is The Hardest Part...


Okay, time for a confession. The truth of the matter is I am a terrible procrastinator.

Simple Pleasures...

Today was a really great day...one of those days when you accomplish so much you don't want it to end. And this evening when I returned home after class, I was inundated with simple pleasures to bring this wonderful day to a close and prepare me to do it again tomorrow.

Does Anyone Here Know...What Christmas Is All About?


Today, November 28th, is the first Sunday of Advent. I see some neighbors have their holiday lights lit and I've read the posts of those already done with Christmas shopping (I loathe you people...okay, not really...maybe just a little bit.)

The Connection...


The Connection Is...

Amazing, allowing the one voice to
rise above the crowd, reassuring presence
is near.

The Company You Keep...

I am a very blessed individual and was reminded just how much the evening before Thanksgiving.

Dreaming...

Amidst the crowd pressed against me
I long for your gaze...you who knows
my thoughts and desires.

My Bed Is Calling Me...

 

For the most part, I love everything I do. When it is no longer enjoyable to me, I don't do it anymore. Life is too short not to live it to the fullest. This goes for my job, my hobbies, music I listen to, volunteering, just about everything. It insures I am giving all of myself to whatever I choose to do ~ never lazy and always immersed in the experience.

I Could Be A Rock Chick...


Last night I was "talking" on Facebook with an old friend (meaning long-time, not geriatric) who informed me Disturbed will be coming to our area in the near future, so we made plans to keep in touch and definitely get to the show. This prompted another friend (geriatric - ha! ha! sorry Mike, just kidding...no, really) to chime in that this show would probably be a little too heavy for me. Seriously?

It Seemed Like A Great Idea At The Time...


This was a busy but productive weekend. To close the long day, I thought a luxurious bubble bath would be absolutely wonderful, and since I do not indulge as often as I should I pulled out all the stops.

A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Show...

No doubt about it, I am a movie freak. I can get lost in a movie and then get up and go get lost in another one. Sadly, it seems like we movie-geeks have had slim pickens for too long.

Welcome To My Salon...

I really enjoy a good conversation. In depth, stimulating, thought-provoking. And this desire for good conversation makes me envy the days gone by of fashionable salons hosting intellectual discussion and debate.

If I Knew The Way...I Would Take You Home...


Today was just one of those days. You know, the why-did-I-get-out-of-bed-and-think-I-ever-wanted-a-mortgage-and-responsibilities-rather-than-be-a-hermit kinda days.

Contentious Just For The Sake Of Being So...

Okay...so a not-so-funny situation presented itself the other day, and I think I have let enough time pass to comment without going over the line. I think.

Walking With The Lizard King...


Today was a beautiful day in Upstate New York, so I grabbed my iPod and went for a five-mile walk. With the Lizard King. As I walked, I reminisced on how this relationship with Mr. Mojo Risin began.

First Ride...

 

The dream, the first ride...
your eyes assure me
I am safe with you.

Feelin' The Love...And Thankful For Every Bit Of It....

I am so overwhelmed and blessed, I don't even know where to begin. Tonight I am feelin' the love and thank you all for it.

To My Son On His 16th Birthday...

This has been a year of many milestones. Today my oldest child...my only son...turns 16 years old. Everyone told me it would fly right by, but I never expected it to go so quickly.

Anticipation Is Making Me Wait...


Alright, alright...I have just shown my age by mentioning this Carly Simon song used to hawk Heinz ketchup back in the day. Generally, there are many Carly Simon songs I really like...this was never one of them.

You Are...


You are beautiful...
Sleeping peaceful 
slumber of a
lover satisfied.

The Better Part Of Valor Is Discretion...


I was thinking this morning, once again while watching the Today show, how sad a statement that discretion seems to be a dying virtue.

Forget Points...Count Your Passions...


There is a growing epidemic amongst women determined to suck the joy out of everything life has to offer. Now, before a world-wide organization creates delusions of suing the pants off me, please know a) you can't get blood from a stone and b) deep down you know I am on to something here.

In Case You Didn't Know...

I was at an event today with women from all walks of life. Despite the disparity in age, height, weight, attitude, and personalities, I have discovered some veritable universal truths that I am compelled to share with you.

I Read It For The Articles...

Okay, now lest everyone thinks I've run off to write for Penthouse Forum, hold on just a second.

We Could...


We could disappear
a moment, an hour, a day... 
anywhere we are unknown.

Thinking Outside The Box...

Okay, Boss...this one is for you and all the rest like me who think a little off the beaten path. You know who you are ~ the ones who make the world a little more colorful in an off-hand kinda way.

The Feast of All Souls...


For those of us in the Catholic faith today is All Soul’s Day, sometimes referred to as the Day of the Dead. Although this seems to give a “Dawn of the Dead” feeling to the situation so I tend to stay away from such verbiage.

It's Either One Extreme Or The Other...

Okay, here's the situation. Last night we saw the little trick or treaters come to the door to receive their bounty of free cavities candy. What I saw will scare the pants right off of you, and it has nothing to do with the costumes.
