The Itch to Stitch

May 26, 2010

If you’ve been following me from my Little Miss Sew N Sew blog, you know that I love to sew. However, life has been such that I’ve not had time for sewing lately but boy do I have the itch. There have been no signs of summer here so I’ve had to dream about it. [...]

Girls, it’s never too late

May 22, 2010

I’ve been single most of my life. I’ve been married twice, but both those marriages were short and unfulfilling – and that’s probably an understatement. I won’t go into details, but in a way, I’m grateful they happened because it’s helped me be who I am today. Those earlier relationships, while horrible, painful, and emotionally [...]

Fifty, Fit, and Fabulous

May 22, 2010

A couple years ago I started on a quest toward arriving at my fiftieth birthday being fit and fabulous, and May 15th, I arrived at age 50 feeling fit and fabulous.
I wanted a party to celebrate this new half-century ahead of me and to celebrate the new person I am today after having reinvented [...]

Scenes from a walk

May 22, 2010

I have been a negligent blogger. But I have good reasons, many of which I’ll update you with soon. To get caught up, I’ll take a page out of my how to scrapbook file and tell you about the most recent stuff first.
Today, I got up early and met my regular walking girlfriends on an [...]

Exhaling Slowly

April 29, 2010

There are lots of remedies to help ease or eliminate the hiccups. My favorite technique when I get the hiccups is to take a deep breath, hold it as long as I possibly can, and then very, very slowly exhale, followed by a slow inhale, and then a gradual return to normal breathing. Almost always [...]

Lesson of the year: Stereotyping

April 8, 2010

I wrote the following on Easter Sunday, 2010 – a day that will forever be burned into my memory. I plan to write a series of posts that will document my perspective of the last four weeks of my daughter’s – and my – experience in the NICU at a local community hospital that is [...]

Almost there.

March 31, 2010

I’m almost back. Almost me again. Almost to where I can take a deep breath and relax. I can sleep, I can eat normally (as in healthy) again and I can do things for me.
So much has happened, such a huge amount of stress, that I wonder what gives me the strength to get [...]

Shifting focus. Parteee Tyme.

March 7, 2010

There’s an end in sight to what I should call my daughter’s never-ending pregnancy. The doctors had us convinced that she would deliver early due to risk factors in this pregnancy and early contractions that started back in January. So we’ve had false start after false start, only to be sent home and my daughter [...]

Good morning, Spring! (And a quick sewing report)

March 7, 2010

If it’s not Spring yet, it should be. It’s acting like it outside. The sun is out, the birds are chirping, and not one electronic item broke yesterday, so all is good in the world.

My daughter is still pregnant but all is good there as well. As of right now, she is scheduled to [...]

I should call this…

February 28, 2010

The year of broken things.
Well, really since the end of last year things have been falling apart around me. Material things, not family or emotional things. Last October, my daughter’s car died and it’s still dead. It needs timing belts, crank sensor, spark plugs, and a valve gasket replaced. Yeah, it can wait as [...]
