When I said that this whole book writing thing had been a wild and crazy experience, I wasn’t joking. People say all the time, “Hey, I had this crazy dream!” Well, that is exactly how this whole thing started. With a dream.

It isn’t often that I remember my dreams. They are usually emotionally gut wrenching or scary as crap when I do, but only occasionally are they just odd. Even then, they fade pretty quickly, even if I’ve talked about it. When I woke up from this particular dream, I immedi...

Apparently I did more than unplug over the holidays. I also seem to have tripped right into a creative desert. For the first time in probably over a year, my creative brain is quiet. After the non-stop, constant, never ending project list of last year, I’m not complaining. I was in need of a break… Continue reading Feast Or Famine

It seems like there is always snow on my birthday. I’m sure that isn’t the reality, but I remember so many times over the years when I’ve had to change or cancel plans because the weather was too bad to get out. This year decided to follow tradition and gift us with snow. We didn’t … Continue reading "Snow Day And The Last Of The 40s"

My fingers and my face are numb, but I couldn’t pass up the chance to play today.

I sort of gave myself the gift of being unplugged for the holidays. Everyone was going to be home. Hubby takes vacation every year to closely match the kids’ winter break from school giving us all almost 2 weeks of just family time. Of course we do the holidays, but the rest of the time … Continue reading "Belated Happy New Year!"

I may just have to live it vicariously through other people’s photos. Happy Winter even if it doesn’t feel like … Continue reading "Happy Winter Solstice"

I knew last week was going to be emotional. I expected to be weepy at every Christmas program. I did just fine on the first one because BG kept me laughing with her antics with her dance friends. The second one was just full of fun, so it wasn’t one that choked me up. After … Continue reading "Emotional Week"

This whole week has been weird. And wild. And stressful. And emotional. And it isn’t over yet. I knew it might be emotional because it is Christmas program week. I have one down that I managed to make it through without crying. Mostly because BG and her friend in that class were goofy and laughing … Continue reading "Wild, Stressful, Emotional Week"

I’ve mentioned before that this is going to be a year of lasts for me. When I say year, I’m mostly referring to school year and not calendar year, because it is BG’s senior year. That is bringing with it SO many lasts and they are making me a bit of an emotional mess. While … Continue reading "The First Flood Of Lasts"
