Too Tuckered To Type...

I don't know about you, but it has been a looong day.

You...

Today the warm wind blew
and danced across my face
as thoughts of you jumped
through my mind and forced
my heart to race.

Thanks For The Memories...

Today a little piece of my childhood passed away...

Check Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself...

The experience I am about to relay actually took place five days ago...but it took me this long to process all of it to share with you. Well, that and to get my eyesight back. I was blind after what I saw last Friday evening.

Oh, There's Something Blowin' In The Wind Alright...

Leave it to my BFF, Maureen Dowd, to call it like she sees it. This is one of the things I love about Maureen...icon or not she is gonna call you out if you get in her cross hairs.

Walk With Spring...

Today the Spring sun said to me,
"Come put your tools away.
Let's walk together, you and I,
there are things I'd like to say."

Spring Has Sprung!

Oh, happy day! Spring finally made an appearance in Upstate New York... and I didn't waste a moment of it.

Face, Heart, Words, And Actions...

Last evening's post relayed my shame in believing I occasionally behave like a spoiled brat.While I don't always share my world with my children, my youngest daughter did see this post and my confession to you, dear reader. She became upset with my self-admonishment as she does not see this side of me at all. Ah, God bless the children.

And You're How Old?

Sometimes folks just don't have a grasp on reality. Sometimes folks who are well into adult-hood have the capability of behaving like spoiled little brats. Sometimes I am one of these folks.

A Dreamy Kind Of Wonderful...

Today was one of those days when I felt everything floated. Not saying it was sans concern, but floated like the clouds cascading the skies.

I'm Still Listening to Wax, I'm Not Using The CD...

No doubt about it...we are a music family. All three of my children play instruments and I have shared with you, dear reader, my love for singing. I never said it was good singing, but it is a form of an animal in pain singing nonetheless.

Finding Your Joy...

Today we had a visiting priest at Church. He is someone I have heard speak numerous times and never disappoints, which is generally true in my world of people who live their faith openly. Today he asked to direct his thoughts to the youth of our parish, and proceeded to share with them a life lesson: find your purpose and you will find your joy.

You Say It's Your Birthday...

No, today is not my birthday. My birthday is in July...but don't feel like you need to get me anything. However if you are compelled, wine, jewelry, books, chocolate, and anything French is appreciated. I'm not that deep...I like everything.

That's $32,000 And Two Hours We'll Never Get Back...

Okay, admitting it is the first step to recovery. My name is Beth and I am a nerdy girl.

No "Mad Men" Makes For A Very Mad Woman...

I don't ask for much...good friends, a good glass of wine, a great pair of heels, a good television show (which,  incidentally, is few and far between.) I have all of this and more...or at least I thought I did.

The Lost Art Of Accountability...

Wikipedia states accountability "is often used synonymously with such concepts as responsibility, answer-ability, blameworthiness, liability, and other terms associated with the expectation of account-giving." Yikes...methinks several may be in dire need of a lesson or two.

The Return Of "V"...

Oh, happy day! All that was old is new again...well, kinda.

The City That Never Sleeps...And Neither Did I...

My trip to New York City was nothing short of fabulous! And of course, it wouldn't be me without some form of adventures.

Let's Hear It For New York...

I can't wait! Tomorrow I leave for two days in New York City and I can't wait! I have been singing Alicia Keys' Empire State of Mind all evening!

The Beautiful Breath...

I don't mean to take wonderful blessings in my life for granted. But I guess I do. This evening I was thinking of one that never truly comes to mind...until it did. And I was amazed.

Until We Meet Again...

Oh, the sorrow. I'm not sure how I shall go on...my heart heavy as I walked away from you, yet knowing it is for the best and you are in good hands. At least, that's what the technician assured me. But what does he know? He doesn't know you the way I know you.

Ode To Nude...

Did this beautiful piece of art capture your attention? How could it not...the colors, the play of light...don't you just wonder what she's thinking? There is something about her that is vulnerable yet so bien dans sa peu. Positively dreamy...

But I Don't Wanna Be A Pirate...

After listening to the radio on the way home from work and hearing about all the horrors occurring in Japan, the sheer madness of Charlie Sheen, more corruption in NYS politics, and the status of employment rates, I decided it was time. Time to break out the "Seinfelds". Sometimes you just hafta to take charge and be master of your domain.

What's Your Damage, Heather...

I don't care what anyone says, I have adored Winona Ryder for like, I don't know...forever.

Go To Bed, Sleepy Head...

I don't know about you, but this whole spring ahead with the clocks knocks me for a loop.
