That’s Just Good Music
I’ve been driving my husband’s car lately because mine is being held hostage by a Kia dealership 4 hours away supposedly getting a new engine (side note: don’t buy a Kia!). My car did not have a fancy touchscreen display on the dashboard like my husband’s newer car. Mine only displayed text in very small… →

Things that are making me happy (part 10)
Indifference about my job. I have found that I really enjoy my new job when I’m there, but when I come home, I don’t care much about it and that is making me so happy! I’m going on two months of this new job and at first, there was a great deal of excitement about… →

A Conversation
I think I’ve mentioned before that I have a big writing project in mind and a big part of that revolves around the contents of 30 years worth of journals that I have filled up (and saved) since I was 13. I have started re-reading them and just finished volume #3. The entirety of that… →

Oh the memories!!
From a young age, I have wanted to be a writer. But I also wanted to be a teacher. Because teaching was a guaranteed career, as in, I wouldn’t have to struggle to get published in order to have a paycheck, I followed the path to being a teacher. I compromised though and told myself… →

Aging gracefully and with pride
Time has certainly started marching across my face lately. A month or so ago I posted about finding my first gray hair and being excited about it. I had discovered the beginning of crow’s feet a while before that. I didn’t really think too much about the crow’s feet until a couple days ago when… →

Attitude About Medicine
I started taking medicine regularly towards the end of my senior year of high school. I was 17 at the time and had just been given my first diagnosis of clinical depression. Zoloft is what I was given and I had such attitude about taking it. I didn’t think much of it at first, but… →

Daily Prompt Response—Cooking Fail
Write about your most epic baking or cooking fail. My husband is a foodie and so my adult cooking “adventures” are never as good as his and I’ve had some misses with things I’ve made. However, my most epic cooking fail came when I was 8 or 9. I had always watched my dad cook… →
