WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE: Through
Through my window I see someone else’s window staring back but sometimes I see through into other dimensions it feels.
WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE: UNUSUAL
UNUSUAL is so subjective that I found it tough to find something to fall under this category. This was unusual because of its location, I found this in Anytown, USA in a store like a Kmart in the middle of the socks and disposable underwear (ok, those were unusual too). Also what was unusual is…
DO I LOOKED FLUSHED? MUST BE HAVING A MB20 FLARE UP!
I suffer from an ailment common for women. It strikes without warning and no vaccine exists. It causes trembling, racing hearts, sweaty palms, hysteria, weak knees and passing out. It’s Matchbox Twenty Mania! I’ve kept it under control, but tonight this Facebook post caused a flare up: Cut another song for the new Matchbox Twenty…
WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE: DISTORTION
Perhaps this isn’t truly distortion though, maybe he really is smiling that big with or without the lens!
PUT A LEAP IN YOUR STEP
I committed to 365 days of writing 365 words and today is the day to give this year 366 days to throw me for a loop. So all bets are off, the rules don’t apply, and I have a fun way to celebrate Leap Year this year that I will share later! For now I…
DATING POOL – IS IT SAFE TO GO IN?
Many of my friends met amazing dates or awesome future-spouses online. Utilizing computers’ brains to define one’s heart presented uber-compatible matches. While I remained cautious about starting relationships for my kids’ (and briefly, my own) sanity, I wanted to make sense of the “playing field” at this stage of my life. I didn’t put the…

WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE: INDULGE
This restaurant has been a part of my family since about 1993 when my sister worked at the very first San Diego location that had to move into a new larger location within months of opening. Truth be told, each menu item you could probably find anywhere else, but the preparation set it above the…
PAY IT FORWARD FRIDAY: JOIN THE MS WALK
For this Philanthropic Friday I am sharing the words of an amazing woman! I went to high school with her, but have only recently really started getting to know her (that is the great gift of attending High School reunions, so attend yours!). I never even know how much she was dealing with while we…
WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE: DOWN
Looking down on down! This is my 2-legged/2-winged peking duck niece or nephew. I can’t tell which it is, all I know is it’s CUTE! Here is one more so you can see the down cuteness of its fluffy buns!! Thanks to my sister Auntie Pita for taking these pictures! Can’t wait to meet them…
ELECTRICALLY ACOUSTIC MOMENT – THE ACOUSTIC MOMENT
My kids and I rushed home with a full agenda for the 90 minutes that we’d be home, but the electricity in the air sparked a magic moment that only happened because we slowed long enough to receive the gift. Driving home, I pitched my plan to do laundry while packing their clothes, dangling the…
HOT FLASHES – AKA: THE POWER OF RICKY MARTIN
The summer of 1984 we moved from San Diego to a town that originally served as a stagecoach stop between San Diego and Los Angeles. Moving to this po-dunk dustbowl instantly set me into withdrawals for “big city” energy. That summer huge things squeezed my teenage heart: The Outsiders. Wham UK. and Ricky Martin joined…
WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE: REGRET
Originally I was going to take a photo of the word “NO” as in “No Regrets” because I try not to live with regret… but I do have one. I regret not getting more of my grandparents’ history while they were still alive – their stories, historic events through their eyes, even recipes that brought…
