I was talking to a co-worker today and while we were chatting, I tried to put something in my pants pocket only to find that they were still sewn shut. (This is maybe the 3rd outing with these newish pants.) After our discussion, I went to the ladies’room and after doing my business remembered that [...]

Because people who read this blog are smart, creative and full of opinions
I just acquired a set of stamps that will allow me to create dozens of beautiful thank you notes. Every year for the past many years at New Year’s, I’ve resolved to send out thank you notes when necessary. I think I sent out one last year. Now I have the capacity to make many [...]

It don’t mean a thing…
True to my word, I have left the house and done something every night this month. Most nights I just went to the gym, but I always met someone there, so I consider that going out. Last night it was cold, my couch was comfy, and I came close to staying in with a bowl [...]

Farmer’s Market / Stock Market
My blog buddy -R- had a very fun post the other day about misconceptions she had as a kid. Specifically, she thought her grandpa was a donut salesman, which 1) got me thinking about donuts all day (that happens easily), and 2) got me thinking about misconceptions I had as a kid. It took a [...]

Come Early Morning
I hate the feeling of the pre-work morning rush, because I always have a list of things I want to do, and as I run out of time, they fall off the list one by one. Nope, no time for doing last night’s dishes with the cereal bowl. No time for the cereal bowl, even. [...]

Pleasure of My Company
I was on the phone with my mother late last night, and she said, “I noticed you stopped blogging.” To that, I was like, “Geez, Mom, I just didn’t write yesterday. Work is very busy, and I had a completely non-eventful weekend.” “You didn’t do anything at all this weekend?” “It was a wash. I [...]
