From the files
Decided to pull out the poetry files and share then I have to get back to the books. Finals tomorrow! You didn’t break my heart, only bruised my ego. You made me cry, not because you left, but because you didn’t have enough faith in either of us to give it a chance. I was […]
Learning as I go…
August 1, 2012
Some days I feel like I belong on Worlds Dumbest People. I have a “smart phone” that took me forever to figure out. I still don’t know every little thing about it. My husband was the computer Guru and when my desk top died earlier this year I had to find a decent replacement–which I […]
Hello
May 3, 2012
Welcome to May! More changes to my personal life have occurred. We recently said goodbye to our Ruby, the PT Cruiser. It was time unfortunately. However, I have welcomed my new baby, a 2011 Dodge Caliber in Mango Tango orange. I LOVE my new car! It’s so beautiful. I miss the sunroof of Ruby, but […]
Age and Decline

September 19, 2011

Now I lie awake missing DH, worrying about the move, mentally decorating the new place or running through the checklist of what must still be done. Last night was […]
Long and sad weekend
September 12, 2011
Yesterday was ten years since the attacks by terrorists that shook this country to the core. I chose not to post, blog or even get on my computer at all this past weekend. It was a bad one for me because I was feeling very weak. I spent most of the weekend crying. My pain […]
Dreams
August 4, 2011
I’d love to have my dreams psychoanalyzed…no wait, I’d probably end up in a padded cell. Shortly after DH died I dreamed that I got a phone call from the hospital telling me to come right over. I arrived and was told they’d come up with a way to bring DH back from the dead. […]
Weekend Update
July 19, 2011
I went grocery shopping last Thursday with my mother. My DIL and 2 children-once-removed joined in the fun. Alyx–the three year old–was getting kind of loud so she and I played this game where we whispered and walked quietly to avoid being found by the motorcycle monster. As I walked down the frozen section I […]
