Colorful Moments

I just read something somewhere that reminded me of a particular time in my life that always makes me feel good.  The timing was perfect because I’ve been feeling inspired by little things like, the weather, a song, the light of the day, colors on the ground and in the sky, the turn of a [...]

2008 In a Word

From The Daily Humorscope for January 1, 2009:
Pisces
(February 19 – March 20)
You will become fascinated by the unlikely use of the same word to mean very different things. For example, what is the link between “seasons” as changes in the weather and “seasons” as in what you do to food? Or for that matter, why [...]

A Moveable Feast

What I see:
A turquoise necklace, two bottles of pink nail polish(each a different shade and manufacturer), a bottle of Bufferin aspirin, a green calculator, a cylindrical, meshed-metal pen holder holding no less than fifteen “special“ pens/pencils, three rulers, a pair of wire cutters, a metal ball with chimes inside, Pablo Neruda’s “The Captain Verses”, Hampton [...]

Boo!

Oh… The Drama! Kitty-Saga blew into a full-on nosy-neighbor-clash. It turns out that this lil’ kitty was SUPPOSEDLY being taken care of by the crazy-lady’s neighbor and he wanted the cat given back. This guy is a real *winner* of a dude, no job, always scammin’, and when he talks to you (when the “you” [...]

I swear…

… and if that offends you, stop reading now… 
I’ve become a morning person by default. I’ve been working the opening shift which means I’m up at 3:45AM and out the door to work by 4:30AM. The other night I woke up at 2:30AM and couldn’t go back to sleep. I wrote, read, drank coffee, took a [...]

OOoogly BOOoogly Messages from the Universe

“Hello, Universe?  It’s me, again.  What exactly you are trying to tell me?”
I have no idea what’s in the message but I’ve taken the call(ing) to heart and, boy-oh-boy, am I payin’ attention! I had the oddest, oogly-boogly moment yesterday.
Let me back-up just a wee bit… there’s a lead-in that I must address.
I got my first [...]

Why we do what we do and why we can’t figure out why they do what they do

Man, that title is almost a full sentence!
 But, really, do you ever catch someone doing something and stand there, gawking, wondering why they are doing what they are doing?  I do.
I saw a guy today… he’s a construction worker at the mall/strip center where I work… and there he was, hangin’ out behind the bushes, [...]

Happy Birthday!

Today is April 17th. I’ve heard, “Tahday Abil Sebenteenph? DeMommy? Tahday Abil Sebenteenph?” for three months now. Finally, finally, the day has arrived. Today is D-Man’s birthday. He turns seven today. The most amazing thing is… he finally knows what that means and he’s workin’ every angle of it.
We went from his learning the day [...]

I Read Dead People

Oh, yes, yesterday was a much better day! I had a meeting with a community schools coordinator and just loved speaking with him. He’s a lovely guy… totally passionate about what he’s doing… and he and I talked about different ways to put the right people together to move forward in creating better parent involvement. [...]

Poop

The shine on my Happy Shiny Disposition is a little dull today. I’m a little discouraged and feel like I’m back to the drawing board in my search for a new career. I’ve been holding out for a position with a company that I really like. All interviews went very well and the DM was [...]
