Today was my birthday. I don’t usually like telling people, and I get all blushy and stuff when I get that kind of attention. My Facebook page was aglow today. It makes me uncomfortable, but even if I hide my birthday, someone who already knows it will say something and then the whole world will know.
It was a damned good thing Mom and Dad were here though because I started out the day weepy. Hubby called first thing (of course) ..read more
I decided I was going to read instead of watching more NCIS (as much as I love it, there is just so much NCIS I can take at once). So I turned on the standing lamp right over my head on the couch and settled in to read … only … it was still dark.

He is definitely going.
Frankly, aside from all-of-a-sudden sober, I am not ..read more
For the second time in my life, (and funnily from the same source), it’s been demonstrated that no matter how much good I think I’m doing, someone else has an entirely different perspective. When I am speaking truths that need to be spoken but they aren’t ready to be heard – and probably will never be – what it results in is this: a complete and painful disconnect. So I face a choice:

On Friday of last week, I stumbled on this post linked on twitter. (Incidentally, because I re-tweeted it, the blogger subsequently followed me … ha!). I shared it with a friend who then thanked me profusely for it because it gave them insight into love as it is for some in a way they had never before had the opportunity to see for themselves. Their parents were never married and so they never got to see this kind of thing ..read more
