Vacation, writing, chores

I’m on a little bitty vacation right now.  I go back to work on Friday (weird, I know, but with the work schedule I keep, that’s the best way to do it), so I’ve got a few days to get a bit done, caught up on, started… As I mentioned in my previous post, I’ve [...]

What in the world happened while I was working today?

Okay, granted I spent most of the day in the windowless stockroom, then in the windowless office, but was there some kind of wild event going on that I knew nothing about?  Should I have been checking in on Facebook throughout the day?  Going online to keep abreast of local happenings? When I drove in [...]

Do you get offended when someone says “happy holidays”?

We were talking about this at work the other day.  On Facebook, I’ve seen so many people complaining about someone wishing them happy holidays instead of saying merry Christmas.  I was in the break room with a couple of the gals I work with (Donna and Cathy) and I brought it up.  We were all [...]

Christmas shopping done…I think…

I had the day off work today and decided to try to finish up my Christmas shopping.  Now I have to tell you, shopping of any kind is not my favorite thing to do, but shopping at this time of year is something I really, really don’t enjoy.  It’s not that I don’t want to [...]

Men are better planners and organizers

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I read this post by one of my friends (guy) on Facebook the other day.  Of course, he said he wasn’t trying to offend anyone…why is it, when someone says that, you know you’re about to be offended?  I didn’t respond.  Really, what’s the point?  Nothing I say is [...]

The blessing of friendship

When I mentioned visiting with a good friend in yesterday’s blog, I started thinking about how truly blessed I am to have so many dear friends.  Then that got me thinking about different types of friendships and what they mean.  Some friendships last for a short period of time while others are there for the [...]

I love old people

No, seriously…I’m not being sarcastic here.  I really do like old people.  They’ve lived so long, managed to figure out what matters and what doesn’t, they tell great stories about the good old days, they’ve made it to a place in life where they just don’t care about what other people think of them, they [...]
