Living Creatively, Living the Dream
Plan A… I didn’t have kids last night so I thought I’d find a friend to go out with but as it turns out everyone I know actually had stuff to do! Problem is a few of you don’t believe Thursday is Continue reading Plans for thursday night…
My son knows that if he’s hurt on the ice…he’s to make his way to the bench. I know…if he stays down…it’s bad. He’s never stayed down…until Sunday. Hit from behind during a pileup in the crease and dropped to Continue reading Number seven…
I wrote a blog on Sunday worthy of a Pulitzer prize… or at least a pat on the back and an “atta-girl”! Unfortunately… it’ll never see print for various legal reasons… possibly libel, definitely defamation. I considered using the word “allegedly” throughout Continue reading Hippy holidays…
The power blew last evening just as the kids were leaving for the weekend. It’s like the energy was sucked out of the house the second they walked out the door. I was heading to a hockey fundraiser with a group of friends and was about Continue reading Powerless…
Monsters lived in my closet for many years…alligators under my bed. To sleep soundly, I never closed my eyes before closing the closet door. When I watched and fell in love with Disney’s “Monsters Inc.,” I realized they weren’t as bad as I’d originally thought. Boo Continue reading Bravely battling the beast…
Gib and I went out to for a quick little run to one of our favorite little strips. But you don’t strip there. Just thought I should clear the air on that one. We arrived before it opened… Gib and I are Continue reading Pain a la butt…
I’m cold. I keep turning up the heat but I can’t get my little feet to warm up. Technically size ten (possibly ten and a half) isn’t exactly considered “little”…but I use it as a term of endearment not a measurement of size. (I really like Continue reading Cold feet…
With a two and a half hour drive ahead of me the other day… I hauled out a few CD’s I hadn’t listened to in years. I hit the play button with Sheryl Crow, Melissa Etheridge, Jann Arden, Sarah McLachlan and Amanda Marshall Continue reading Let it rain…
I went ass over tea kettle at the kids’ school today. I hurt. It’s not my ego though. I gave up worrying about that thing a while back and really don’t give two shits about it anymore. But, my knee…my finger…my shoulder…a wrist Continue reading Hey lady! Have a nice trip…
It’s been two lovely nights by myself… relaxing. In a pretty little cottage by the beach. A few magazines… wine… crackers and cheese. The fireplace and music warming the room around me. I’ll do it again sometime. Just maybe without the Continue reading Life’s a beach…
I’m beyond waterlogged. My feet are puffy. There are deep wrinkles in my damp skin as if I’ve been relaxing in a bath for hours… without the relaxation. The weather isn’t showing signs of letting up. This rain has got to stop as Continue reading You brought ‘er you sail ‘er…
It’s been raining non-stop for three days and I’m starting to feel a little haggard. On a good note… this blog continues to gain momentum and I’m making fans on an international level. (Not just because Little-One is in Dubai, my cousin Tina is in Singapore, Continue reading Queen’s VII’th Update…
“Ahhhh… honey… I just thought I should tell you… cause you might hear it on TV or from your friends… ahhhh… Demi Lovato is sick.” “Is she dying?” “No… she’s just really tired from all of the work she’s been Continue reading Demi Lovato…
I’m entering a new Chapter in my life… and what better way than to blog about Chapters! An avid reader, I’ll read anything I can get my hands on. I absorb the book when I’m in it… then totally forget it Continue reading Queen picks…
There’s been a lot of talk among my friends about throwing me a “Divorce Party.” The ideas are great. A “divorce shower” to get back half the stuff I “lost.” Invitations that state “plus two” as you’re welcome to bring a significant other Continue reading Celebration…
Is it wrong that I thought my son cheated on an assignment because it was good? Come on… it’s not like I told him or anything! Thing is… my little dude has had his trouble with school. He started with Continue reading Anything you can do I can do better…
She landed with a thump and a scream… followed by “ohmygodohmygodohmygod” repeatedly as I rushed to her side… unable to tell where the pain was coming from. Turns out… I’d never seen someone with the wind knocked out of them. Continue reading Falling in love…
I want the days back where my little guy tried to do snow angels on the ice. Back when we fitted him with new gear, threw a pair of skates on his feet and fired him out on the slippery, cold surface with a pat Continue reading Oh deer…
My girlfriend, C.A., went through a divorce about a year before her 40th birthday. It was what she wanted, yet her pain ran deep. Something I never truly understood…until my own. When her birthday rolled around, her dream of going to New York was in the Continue reading Enough with fools in tinfoil…
My dog’s been walking around in a skeleton costume for three days since I pulled out all the Halloween shit. The fact that my dog is dressed as a skeleton and that I have two Rubbermaid containers full of Halloween crap makes me think I Continue reading In her bones…
