I just got my new membership to Costco. I haven’t had a membership to Costco for many years; mostly because I just don’t want to deal with the crowds. But through a program called “MyPoints” (check them out people – you get e-mails, you go to sites, you take surveys, and you accumulate points without…
Today for the first time, I was able to join in on the fun with a craft circle organized by a FaceBook friend. I’ve been trying to make it for the past few months, but you know how it is sometimes – life just gets in the way. When I was about 6 or 7,…
I swear, every time I get one painful part of me happy by applying ice, another part starts complaining. Today, I iced my right knee, my left foot (ooh, good idea for a story – nah, it’d never sell), and my right elbow/forearm. My right knee is a known issue, fuck if I know what…
I know, I know. I haven’t posted for a bit. I was down in LA having a great time. I didn’t even take my laptop with me. I love blogging, but I love the people I was spending time with more. The trip was for a reunion. The reunion of a very special church choir…
Do you ever get a date stuck in your head; and you know it’s the wrong date, but your brain just won’t let go of that wrong date, and it keeps sneaking back unless you are constantly vigilant. Let’s just say, I’m not so vigilant. I called my sister Linda today. I called…

We are all bombarded with the message that everything we do on the internet is tracked and used so that we can be targeted for products that will meet our specific needs. I can live with that. I am sure there are many products of which I am totally unaware that could make my life…
Today, I decided to do the grocery shopping on my way home from work. After being stuck in rotten traffic and witnessing all kinds of ass-holery on the roads, I was face-to-face with the realization that the same people I was just swearing at (loudly) in my car, are the same people I am now…
I am considering buying a “smart” phone. I am not sure I am qualified, because this is really making me feel stupid. On the other hand, maybe I need a smart phone to look after my fat old ass. My current phone is a flip Kyocera. Sad, I know. You don’t know how long it…
While at the Contact conference, my 2nd Kindle died. The trouble with a dead Kindle is it leaves you with nothing to read, because you counted on having your Kindle library available. And having just slogged through Of Human Bondage (and it is, indeed a slog), I was up for some much lighter reading. But,…
