I started and never finished several blog posts this week and finally decided to search back into my past, and pull up another oldie but memorable. This is from 2009 – It gave me a laugh to know that I am nothing but consistent. I still hardly ever wear dresses…and I still have legs that…
Read MoreWhat is My Attraction to Rabid Clowns?
I was a die-hard Steven King fan in my early 20’s. I started with “The Long Road” from The Bachman Books and kept reading everything King wrote for years. Having grown up in the era of Freddy Krueger and Michael Myers, it makes sense that horror was a genre that was appealing. I remember reading…
Read MoreA Family Pinning
I had the honor of attending a nursing pinning this weekend for some of our Associate Degree in Nursing grads. They did an amazing job on the ceremony and I became a bit on an impromptu speaker due to some crazy traffic and the scheduled speaker being held up. It reminded me of a post…
Read MoreMy 3 Sons
One thing that has always amazed me is how three children with the same genetic makeup can be so different. I have friends that have multiple children that all look like they were cut from the same cloth. Not mine…I used to joke that my boys looked like the Mailman, the Milkman, and the FedEx…
Read MoreParenting by Gender
Eric and I spent a wonderful Saturday evening with some new friends. Part of getting to know each other is always sharing the history of your courtship, your family, and your overall ‘story’. I was happy that we had plenty of time to talk since our first couple of ‘sharings’ didn’t paint me in a…
Read MoreMemories of the Leopard Dress
Originally posted in My Life in the Fat Suit but sparked some good memories as I’ve been going through my clothing! I went shopping yesterday….with Joy, my boss. I have my 30 years reunion coming up and needed something that says…”I’m overweight but still attractive, pushing 50 but still young and successful in my career…
Read MoreThe Rolling Stone and Other Clichés
I truly love the part of my job that allows me to be in class with nursing students. Watching them have an ‘ah-ha’ moment is both rewarding and encouraging…since they may be my care provider at some point in the future. I’m beginning to realize, however, how I need to rewrite some of my assessments…
Read MoreLiving in Latex
Last week, we cleaned out my closet and you may have noted…there was a reference to Spanx being in my future. Well…they were a huge part of my past so Latex and I are old friends. I gave them up on for daily wear a few years ago when I decided I enjoyed having a…
Read MoreWhere is the Refrigerator Fairy?
I know I have revisited my old blogs several times lately, but I enjoyed reading this one again! Eating Boredom I haven’t figured out what eating and boredom have in common. They are intimately related. Hmmm….nothing on TV (in spite of having 300+ channels), nothing grabbing me on the Internet, the house is reasonably clean (could be debatable!)…..must be time to eat. Eating out of…

How pliable is your car door?
Originally posted on Mothering, Marriage and Menopause:
Men and women drive differently. I tend to believe that men drive by looking straight ahead. If it is not in front of them, it does not exist. Women use additional perceptions..such as peripheral vision. This may be tied to our pension for multi-tasking. This is frequently…
