She Thought I Hung The Moon
Saturday, May 19th, 2012
(these thoughts are quick and might seem random. it’s the only way i can get them down. being with them too long is still hard.) I met my best-friend-in-the-world in 1973. I was pregnant with my first child and my husband and I were building our first home in Schaghticoke, New York, across a country [...]

Did You Ever…
Tuesday, May 1st, 2012
try to ignore the obvious? Not “obvious” like the three extra pounds that appeared on the scale which you chalked up to the extra salt you used last night on those french fries or the “obvious” fast food bag of empty wrappers left in the parking space you’d like to use at your favorite store? [...]

Prayers for Parker Updates
Friday, April 6th, 2012
Parker Hayes – March 22, 2012 I am apologizing for slacking off on my blog. I have no excuse except the alien invasion where Pop-Tart shaped space junk food sucked my brain out of my head, but I’m too proud to talk about that. I will catch you up on Parker’s status starting with the [...]

Where Are The Damn Sugarplums?
Friday, December 23rd, 2011
The children were nestled all snug in their beds while visions of sugar plums danc’d in their heads. Depending on who you think wrote that famous poem I don’t think Clement Moore nor Henry Livingston were caregivers or needing care during the creative process. If they were, I applaud them for getting past the ‘ugly’ [...]

a short three week trip
Friday, August 21st, 2009
Bossman and I left on Sunday to start our three week trip. we packed the 24 foot Winnebago View motorhome making sure we were taking just the right amount of food and clothing and not overloading the rig. the heavier your rig, the worse your gas mileage. we use diesel and average about 16 mpg.

i’ve been dunked!
Thursday, May 7th, 2009
the second dunk is done. the results are nothing earth-shattering that will get me on Oprah, but still good news for me concerning the FitnessWave Challenge i signed up for on February 5th at my chiropractors office. three months ago David Harris dunked me for a hydrostatic body composition analysis. David runs the FitnessWave business [...]

The Not-So Biggest Loser Part II
Sunday, March 8th, 2009
around 9am they started handing out wristbands to the first 500 people who would be the lucky ones to audition in front of the creative director at The Biggest Loser auditions. hundreds didn’t make the cut and were sent off in the cold rain to their waiting cars. they seemed to have melted into the [...]

the biggest…ok…the not-so-biggest loser part one
Saturday, March 7th, 2009
a couple of weeks ago my big-boned friend Bob called and asked if i’d go to the casting call for The Biggest Loser with him. “we could be a team. they’d call us The Improvisers.” at first i was insulted because i’d been working out a lot more and counting those damn calories. then i [...]
