I have a friend who, whenever our group of gals get together, asks all of us what our highlights are. Most of us groan (somewhat jokingly), some leave the room, change the subject or act like we didn’t hear. Whether startled by the sudden change in perspective or perhaps uncomfortable with the idea of giving…
There has been a big countdown going on in recent past and it’s finally coming to fruition. I’m not talking about: Nor am I pushing the 12/21/12 end of the Mayan Calendar I’m realizing just how unprepared I am for a zombie apocalypse and am now slightly concerned about my goal to have a plan…
I’m sitting here waiting for input on an assignment and to make sure I am in front of the computer when it arrives. Because it’s after midnight, I am implementing my emergency alert tactics! Now I’m one of the most caffeinated people I know but even caffeine has its limits when confronted with PMS, Daylight…
Working at a university I pick up tidbits of wisdom here and there. One day in casual conversation, one professor said to me, “Math is not just about the numbers!” At the time I just shook my head in agreement and wished him well on his way out the door trying to figure out math…
Since none of my high school girlfriends, nor I, had the opportunity to fly to Chicago to see Oprah’s show before it ended, today my friends (that I’ve known for almost 25 years!) and I attended the next best thing! Oprah’s O You 2012 in Los Angeles! I learned many gems and will share them…
You may have noticed, I’ve been on the lam in recent months, not regularly reporting my wanderings. A clandestine operation, simply referred to as trojaN horsE, occupies my time with my first assignment requiring 100% secrecy and dedication. Now, I find myself living the life of an intelligence double agent. The success of this operation…
The Heart of the House, the ultimate dispute settler, our history, Growth! They grow up WTF: Way too fast!
I dig the weekly photo or writing contests, but I really love this new Music in Photos contest since it incorporates music! Here’s my entry for Lenny Kravitz’s “Fly Away” I wish that I could fly Into the sky So very high Just like a dragonfly I’d fly above the trees Over the seas in…
In the morning, with the light streaming through the window, the walls disappear and the kitties joyfully sun themselves. (I know, I know, I’m a week late) #CatPhotoFriday
I’ve got two kids who are skilled communicators. One blows me away while regurgitating facts, details and dates, spitting them out in a way that captivates me like no professor could. The other one sharply launches zingers that envelop me in an explosion of laughter. If they worked together, embracing their differences, they could go…
I’m half-Korean. People don’t quite know where to place me. My skin is too dark to be white (You can’t spell Caucasian without Asian…), my green-ish eyes aren’t Asian, my Hungarian cooking scrambles their brains. Honestly, not being brought up Asian, and turned off by some stereotypes for Asian women, I identified with American Indians,…
People say this is how it happens, but I never thought it would happen to me. My life changed in the blink of an unblinking eye! I went from being a loving mom to a suspect in a crime. More special than other days, last Friday held big meaning as I’d be reuniting with my…
