I’ve had an odd mix of thoughts today. Mom called last night (Friday), and I learned that Daddy has had several bad falls recently. He was out of town for a business trip most of this week and ended up…
Is crying cathartic for you?
I hate crying, and will go to great lengths to avoid letting anyone see me cry—a habit I acquired as a child, because I didn’t want to let my father “win” when he hurt me. I always feel worse, rather…
Random Things Meme
Leah tagged me on Facebook to write 25 random things about myself, then Sam tagged me to come up with 16 random tidbits. I’m not good at these things, but I’ll give it a try. I didn’t go to kindergarten…
Um, Thank You?

My Hometown
While browsing the AJC this afternoon, I was surprised to find Gadsden, Alabama featured as a “one tank trip” destination. I lived there for 7-8 years as a child and spent several summers there in my teens, and hadn’t ever…

Ten years ago today, Sam took me out on our first “real” date (as in, without the kids or anyone else). Thank you, love. Here’s to many more decades!
Nerd Joy!
We’ve been scanner-deprived for many months now, because the multifunction printer gave up the ghost. We acquired an older model HP scanner via Freecycle a while back, but it wouldn’t work. The moving bit inside had been locked down for…
Methinks I Need to Safeword
I’m about 3/4 of the way through The Devil’s Right Hand by Lilith Saintcrow—3rd of 5 or 6 books in the Dante Valentine series—and I don’t think I can take any more. I want to know how the story ends.…
