anniversary

I’ve been at my job for five years today.
Happy Anniversary to me! 

I heart JCPenney!

Recently, I got to go shopping at JCPenney with BlogHer’s Fashion Editor Susan.  Did I mention that it was free?  It was just like shopping with Trinny and Susannah, or Stacy and Clinton except it was me and we were in Oklahoma City and Susan didn’t make me throw out any of the clothes I [...]

Grey’s Anatomy

I’ve been looking forward to watching Grey’s Anatomy all summer.  Guess what?  I totally forgot it was coming on tonight.  I’ve been catching up on email, cooking dinner, recording blood sugar numbers, urging J. to check her ketones and drink more water, visiting with the kids, tra-la-la!  Then I realized, when I saw that it [...]

aftershocks, seven years later

The kids’ dad and I have been divorced for seven years.  I was shocked last night when my son told me that he often wishes that his dad and I were still married.  I mean, I know it’s not unusual for kids to wish for that, that they’d like to have an intact nuclear family, [...]

ship of fools?

Do you ever feel like you’re on a ship that’s lost it’s captain in the midst of a storm with waves crashing all around?  I keep hoping that each tomorrow (workday) will bring a brighter day, but am constantly barraged by more stormy weather from all sides.
I’m looking for Captain Jack to skillfully sail the [...]

about those recent searches…

Steven Cojocaru and kidney disease – I wrote about a wonderful interview I listened to by Steve Bertrand with Steven Cojocaru.

spicy

J. (12 yr old daughter): When I’m all grown up and working in an office, I’m going to wear this dress to spice up my workers.

thoughts

So many thoughts are running around in my head, fighting for the chance to be committed to paper or screen.  I haven’t had the energy or made the time to actually get them out.  I’ve been taking notes in a little notebook in my cryptic style.  Maybe I’ll be able to figure out what the [...]

Pops

I took the kids to Pops on Route 66 in Arcadia, Oklahoma last weekend. Instead of artistic, beautiful photos of the glass pop bottles like Susan posted after her family went to Pops, I have photos of my kids standing next to the 66 foot tall pop bottle that lights up at night.

They didn’t [...]

Labor pains

I found this meme on  Shannon’s blog, Rocks in my Dryer and thought it would be fun to play along.
How long were your labors?
15 yr old daughter, 36 hours.
13 yr old son,  7 hours
12 yr old daughter, 3 hours.
How did you know you were in labor?
15 yr old, contractions, went to hospital the night before, [...]

Anagrams

When I was reading through some of my favorite blogs on Google Reader, I saw a meme that Annie posted today that had anagrams from the title of her blog.  So, being the curious one that I am, I went straight over to WordSmith.org/anagram to see what anagrams could be made from the title of [...]
