Here’s some REALLY bad fairy-tale writing for you all today. Sitting on hold, being hungry, worrying about hubby, feeling tired and icky – all equal completely useless writings:
Once upon a time
In a land far, far away
There lived a princess
Whose prince was in a land
Many leagues hence
She would get word
From him daily
On how he was doing and
What was happening.
And then suddenly there was nothing
And she was sad.
There is a Jamaican quote, I am sure, regarding getting used to something only to ..read more

Sometime last week was, apparently, the Miss Universe 2010 pageant. Twitter was a-buzz with it and to some extent so was my Facebook friends list. I have to admit that my interest in beauty contests remains limited to a brief stint back in 1993 when an old high school and music classmate of mine not only secured the Miss Jamaica World title, but went on to win the Miss World title as well.
I have never been a fan of beauty ..read more

I never intended this blog to be an outlet for military commentary. It really was supposed to be my internal mind. Guess what, though? The army has become an integral part of my internal mind. So bear with me whilst I get something off my chest today.
The army has released it’s report on the analysis of the ever-increasing suicide rate. I saw the tweet from FamilyMWR (Family Moral, Welfare and Recreation) this morning. I read over the post ..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.
Now, it’s a 3-way lamp, so I turned it again and the bulb blinked on and I realized that one of the filaments in the ..read more

This week is shaping up to be rather productive. After a loving pep-talk from the hubby, I decided to forcefully take back my time. Enforce my boundaries, organize my time and insist that everyone around me march to my tune.
Ok, ok – maybe not so much … but with a little help from specific people and suggestions, I managed to re-capture my time and am now working to keep hold of it. It’s easy to say: “here are my ..read more
