Impressions and Discretions ...

Yes...I'm a biker chick...

Today I was in a conversation where I asked a really cool co-worker if she rides motorcycles. She looked at me incredulously and asked, "Do I look like I ride motorcycles?" I asked her, "Do I?"

She looked at me and said, "Nope...no you don't. I can't see it." Well guess what, boys and girls...

How I Long To Linger...

I hope you know although I am always right to the point and I don't leisurely take the time I should it is never because I don't want to. I just long for more time.

She Came, She Saw, She Went...

Lady of Hurricane ~ Michael Cheval

This weekend Upstate New York, along with much of the Eastern Seaboard, hosted a most ungracious visitor. Hurricane Irene announced she would be arriving by Saturday evening and could be extending her stay right into Monday. And I was in no mood to entertain.

Just Like It Was Yesterday...

Like, what a totally out-there blast from the past. Like. Totally.

The Long Goodbye...

I hate goodbyes...really I do. I hate saying goodbye to my children in the morning as we go our separate ways. I really hated saying goodbye to my brother the night before he moved away. Let's just "stoic" was not in my vocabulary that evening as I sobbed like a baby not knowing when I will see him again. But the really hard goodbye I have been struggling with for days has been to V.

You Can't Help But Smile...

It was a day of celebration. And happiness. And love.

Life Is What You Make It...

It is pouring outside. I mean, absolutely torrential-lightening-illuminating-the-sky-accompanied-by-tremendous-drum-rolls-ending-in-crashing-cymbals-thunder-as-water-races-from-the-heavens-in-non-stop-sheets pouring. Hang on a moment...I think the weather channel is on the phone offering me a job...

You Are...

You are...

dance to my step,

sparkle to my eye,

music to my voice,

words to my song, 

a flutter to my heart,

a rainbow to my sky,

laughter to my tears,

joy to my world,

and the best part is

You are...

just being you.

You Could Be Swinging On A Star...

Today was a day when I could not get out of my own way! I had fifty deadlines kicking the stuffing out of me, Microsoft Outlook turned against me, and my desk looked like a BOMB went off - BLAM!

Are You In Or Out...

The Amazing Babe Paley

Have you ever found yourself crashing into the same question regardless the direction you turn? Ironically, this has happened to me over the past week. What are you? What is the answer? Asked by an amazing book read devoured in 24 hours, from a conversation with a friend from high school, culminating with the homily in church this past Sunday, the same question was posed: are you in the "in" crowd or are you "out"?

Summer Intoxication...

Darn it...I did it again. I really did not mean to disappear for days on end. I know...I could have been laying in a ditch somewhere and no one would even know because I am so ungrateful I never even told anyone where I was. But I can't help it. I am drunk on summer.
