~Sunday~ I have become completely obsessed with this meme that's going around the web, where you ask a "What if?" question about a song's title or lyrics. Here's an example of one: What if Harper Valley had no PTA? I've got it so bad that I am channeling Seth Rudetsky, who—if you've never seen him—rather … Read more
~Sunday~ Recently—twice in fact—I've been tagged on Facebook to participate in a meme that asks you to list 10 books that have stayed with you or have impacted your life in some way. I'm sure there are others, but these are the ones that immediately came to mind. They are somewhat in order from most … Read more
~Tuesday~ Recently, my friend Casey posted a blog entry entitled, “If you’re happy and you know it… make a list?.” Take a moment to read it, if you want to. I’ll wait. I liked the idea so much when I read it that I promised to make my own list soon, and today’s blog entry … Read more
~Friday~ On Facebook, for the month of November, I participated in the "Gratitude Marathon," which consisted of professing some form of gratitude, once a day, for each day of the entire month of November. I've captured them here for those of you who aren't on Facebook (or aren't my friend there), and for my own … Read more
~Friday~ I was counting on an 8:22 bus arrival this morning, since I got to the stop a little bit late. I checked the temperature while waiting, and I was shocked to see 19° on my weather channel phone app, but I just couldn’t believe it was that cold, so I checked wral.com/weather, which said … Read more
~Thursday~ I caught the 7:45 city bus, and the boy who ran up late to the bus on Tuesday was already there and waiting this morning. The weather was beautiful outside, but the air on the inside was still. A lady sat up and to the left of me in a center-facing seat with a … Read more
~Monday~ I caught the 8:15 city bus, which had a different driver than the usual one. He talked about sports with two guys sitting up front my entire trip. The discussion started off with basketball, during which one of the guys said, “I don’t care what nobody says, Sidney Lowe is the best point guard … Read more
~Sunday~ I slept in this morning. Glorious. I went to Lowe’s, where I picked out my new faucets: Delta Kitchen Faucet 16997-XSSSD-DST Delta Bathroom Faucet 545-SSWF While in the Crossroads Shopping Center area, I stopped by Target, and then at the grocery store on the way home. Once home, it occurred to me that I … Read more
~Saturday~ We were up at 9:00 in time to have the hotel’s complimentary breakfast, which ended at 10:00. Robert scored a table for us, which was no easy feat, and I enjoyed a bagel with cream cheese, along with a hard-boiled egg, topping it off with a small banana-nut muffin and some coffee. Life is … Read more
I have been tagged in a meme to divulge 25 things about myself. Back in November of 2004, I did a list of 100 things. I’ve revisited it, and 25 things are no longer the case, so I’ve removed them. Here are the remaining 75, exactly three times what this meme calls for. I love … Read more
