There’s a Prize in Every Box

I have NO idea who was winning the game. I have no clear memory even of what game we were watching. I do remember the air was crisp. I do remember I had my favorite striped zip up cardigan on. I also remember watching my friend Anne opening her box of [...]

Just Back From Ant-lanta

It was hot and very humid – we were walking quickly toward the car to get out of said humidity – and we saw the seats in the van M.O.V.I.N.G.  They were covered with ants.  Little tiny ants.  Thousands of little tiny ants.  Crawling every where.  This would be the same vehicle that we needed [...]

Time Keeps on Ticking….

And I’m finally getting a good handle on it!
Seriously, my talk with Mary Jo Tate that I shared with you, was WONDERFUL and it has been helping me a great deal.  AND even better, Mary Jo is having a free call tonight!!!  (I just read my notes, and DUH realized that today is Tuesday August [...]

What’s the Buzz, Tell me What’s A-happening

We just sat down to dinner with a gentleman who is believes, passionately, that every one has a story hidden in their heart and his purpose – his quest – is to help each person find that story and give birth to it.  This man, above and beyond being Canadian and a royal hoot, asked [...]

Here We Go, Here We Go Again

Literally. We took off at midnight to go to Atlanta to attend Rhea’s Days. I’ve decided we need to go hobnob with all these successful entrepreneurs and see if some of their success won’t rub off on us. (^%$& CRASH &*#@)
(RATS!! I knew that there had to be something dangerous about [...]

The Gift that Keeps on Giving

I am not a green thumb type person. I can usually grow the most basic of plants….provided of course that I can see them. If they are out of sight, they are generally out of mind, hence they are generally out of water. I have been known to fill a glass to water the plants, [...]

Straighten Up and Fly Right

Ahhhh, leaning back in my cushy chair, I stretch my arms out in front of me, my fingers linked and wiggle them…..it’s Sunday night.  The night of panic.  “ARGH!  Tomorrow is Monday and I don’t have a good handle on my week!!!”  Then the yelling, mean and wigging-out Mom appears and takes over.  It’s an [...]

You Must Clear Your Plate!

There are starving children in Africa, don’t ya know?! (At least that was the rhetoric we were fed – no pun intended – when we didn’t clear our plates.) I will choose to not go into a discussion about the importance of NOT clearing your plate, because that isn’t a blog for this [...]

Walking Wonky

I have gotten motion sickness all my life.  Some of my earliest memories are of lying in the back of our station wagon, sick to BITS from riding.  I don’t remember Pearl Harbor as anything more than a great place to lose one’s breakfast.  Once, I even threw up on a date who took me [...]

Windmills of My Mind

Growing up, my parents had a HUGE collection of music.  Now that I’m married to a music geek, I know that they had a LITTLE collection – but at the time, we were the only people I knew that would stack 5 albums on the turn table at once!  (I won’t even mention what that [...]
