This is the third year I’ve done this, and this is the third year that I’ve completed it successfully. Overall, I’m in a much different place than I was 2 years ago. It was about a week into it that I was diagnosed with uterine cancer. There was no shortage of stuff to write about [...]

My mom was a packrat. There’s a reality show coming on A&E next week about “Hoarders”. My mom wasn’t a filthy mess like some of those people that they are going to show are, but she definitely had that particular mental illness down pat. Our 3000 square foot house had a beautiful basement rec room, [...]

I’ve been noticing a change in myself. I think it’s a good change. I also think that I’ve written about this before, but it’s becoming more solidified in my thought patterns lately.

Being born into the timeline that I was in my own family gave me a unique opportunity. My birth came later in my parents life. My mom was the age that I am now (43) when she had me. My dad a year older. This meant a couple of things. The first was that I [...]

This year it’s just Roomie and I. We’re invited to my brothers, but I had already bought a turkey breast for us right before the invite came, and we both sort of like the quiet meal at home idea so we passed on the big family thing. Roomie and I have done our own thing [...]

I baked banana bread this morning. I don’t bake often, but I bought some bananas a few days ago on a whim, ever hopeful that my guts won’t reject them so painfully, but that didn’t happen and Saturday afternoon sucked because of the half banana that I had with lunch. So, it seems the only [...]

Long story short: I spent the morning studying photography, my new lens and speedlight will keep me busy with that for a few weekends. I spent the afternoon watching my DVR and wishing my stomach ache would go away. That’s what I get for trying 1/2 of a banana when I know they kill my [...]
