Sing it with me now! No really, I’m dizzy. I’ve been dizzy for over a week, and it’s driving me nuts. I feel fine otherwise. Especially, y’know, when the room isn’t doing loop-de-loops. Yeah yeah, I know – “go to the doctor, you ditz”. I have a feeling it’s an inner ear thing (vertigo), which I’ve had before… [...] I just read a couple posts from a frustrated friend and fellow blogger that got me thinking about what I’m doing here (less and less lately as it stands) and why. Blogging started out for me, a little over a year ago now, as a way to get my writing energy focused into a specific medium. [...] I’m in love. I know; at 42, almost 43 (July 22 – mark your calendars) I’m a bit long in the tooth to be experiencing love like this. Sometimes it just hits you though, out of the blue. I certainly didn’t plan it – definitely didn’t go looking for it. I mean, why would I? I’ve been [...] I had a checkup appointment with the Lasik MD clinic today. We’re at just over 3 months now since I had PRK Laser eye surgery, can you believe it? What a ride it has been so far. The first week was pure, unadulterated hell, and I was in agony. The weeks after were a nightmare of [...] It really takes so little to make me happy. Really and truly. Impromptu tickle fests with my sleepy-eyed kids on my giant king-size bed, a quiet moment with my husband, singing with my friends… little things. I don’t need extravagant gifts, flowers, accolades or awards. I don’t need people pounding me on the back for doing what [...] A couple times a month I work with a voice coach who is helping me get my range back (you’ll recall I had some throat problems over the winter). He lives in the next town over, and works as the Musical Director out of a beautiful old church in the older part of town. We had [...] I could have also called this post “What do you find sexy” but with all the steamy haiku lately, I figured I would behave a bit. Well, where titles are concerned, anyway. So I was on a bit of a drive today, dropping Sadie off to my friend Spendy for grooming, and found myself musing about [...] …telling it like it is. Is that a good thing, I wonder? My family and friends certainly know where they stand with me, but sometimes I think maybe I’m too much of an open book. Is a little mystery a good thing? “Familiarity breeds contempt” crosses my mind. I’m pretty sure those closest to me don’t need [...] Sorry if you tried to get to me earlier, we had a server issue. All fixed! Sensational Haiku Wednesday is [...] Knarf is always going on about how great the hiking is along the trails he and Zack frequent. I’ve tried to make time to go with him, but it has just never panned out for whatever reason. Yesterday, I finally got all my ducks in a row, and bullied no, coerced managed to get the Hubby [...] I work online – both of my businesses mean that I spend vast quantities of time sitting here in this chair, researching, assigning tasks, and wading through scads of email from clients, contractors, and employees. There are two things I do as a stress reliever whilst I’m doing this stuff… and those are blogging (natch) and [...] Yesterday my group spent a couple hours with fabulous photographer Leah Kirin, getting some professional shots to use for our website and promotional material. What fun we had!! Leah is a hoot to work with, and she really had some great ideas. Here are a few shots that she previewed for us late last night (boy [...] TEAM CANADA TAKES THE GOLD!!!!!!! Image © http://www.cbc.ca Both the Men’s and Women’s hockey teams took Gold! WOW!!! SO VERY PROUD of our phenomenal Olympic athletes and their amazing performances at these Olympics, hosted by us in Vancouver. Canada actually took the most gold medals with 14, which breaks the record for most golds taken by a host [...] I am so excited. All my life I’ve been living with horrible vision, which has held me back from so many things I’ve wanted to do! When I was little I wanted to be a pilot. A fighter pilot, actually, and then a commercial pilot. Kinda need to have good eyes for that. Then of course, my [...] Wow, that was dramatic, wasn’t it?? I had about a dozen vials of blood taken on Monday in anticipation of a visit with my doctor today. Foremost on my mind was the extreme levels of cholesterol I was harboring at the last visit, and what that could mean in the long run, given my family history of [...] Nope, not a new meme, I just couldn’t come up with a better title. First, the contest news! JennyMac is one of the best bloggers out there – I enjoy her so much. I don’t usually need much prompting to extol the many virtues of this brilliant, vibrant gal, and today is no different – its her [...] Actually, I can’t. I’m what you might call blind as a bat. Myopia (near sightedness) with astigmatism (irregular shaped cornea) runs in my family on my mother’s side – every woman, and some of the menfolk, too, have extremely poor vision. I am no exception, so when I was about 9 years old, I got my [...] Recently I organized a fundraiser for our larger choral group, which took place last night. That I didn’t have a camera on me will forever have me mentally kicking myself!! I haven’t put together too many fundraisers before, all by my lonesome. Ok, I confess; this was the first one. The opportunity just hadn’t presented itself [...] Sitting here mulling things over today. I don’t feel like posting in great detail about the things that are bothering me, but maybe a wish list will suffice. I wish… …that we lived in simpler times If this is showing up in your reader, can you swing by and let me know? My last 2 posts are NOT showing up for me in my reader. Thanks much! Note: I turned off Akismet, and up popped the missing posts. It’s probably my theme, according to the helpful folks who haunt the WordPress help forums. [...] |
