Since May, I’ve been an active participant in my life. The two and a half years before that, I let my life happen…going through the motions…not really wanting to take part in any of it but not having much of a Continue reading Get to what’s real…
I sat in the parking lot making every effort to hold back the tears. I’ve said many times that this is going to be good for me…that the program I picked is the right one…but the idea of my life Continue reading My return to school as a “mature” student…

My birthday is Tuesday so last night brought a group of people out to begin the week long celebrations! What? Can’t a girl celebrate for an entire week? We started at the Lower Deck enjoying another wonderful evening of Paul Lamb Continue reading They herd…
Tonight is “Italian Dinner Club” and while I was unsuccessful in finding a single, hot, Italian to take as my date, I plan on deciding by the end of the day what I’ll bring as an appetizer! If and when I get my car Continue reading Light Italian…

How awesome is this? I got a kick when I saw Beatrice and Eugenie at the wedding and commented how they looked just like Anastasia and Drizella but I never actually went to the book to see how much! Now Continue reading Fairy tales do come true…
When I prayed for this drought to end… this is not what I meant! We’re on day 22 of rain in Halifax and moss is beginning to grow behind my knees… not to mention my lawn. I’m popping Advil like Continue reading Out with the old….
