I want one of those magic scarves - or capes - or blankets or something - that you can throw over something, yank it off, and that something has turned into an altogether different something. You know the kind I mean. I want to throw it over myself, and when I pull it off, I [...]

Huh? What polka-dot umbrella? I don’t have one…never did, as a matter of fact. So what and whyfor the title of this bloggentree (blog entry…doesn’t bloggentree sound kinda trippy on the tongue?) anyhoo?
Does “because I like it” work for you? Does for me, eh?
Went sale shopping with my dd after work yesterday. We were gone [...]

A friend - or acquaintance, really, but someone I like quite a bit and manage to touch base with two or three times a year - recently sent me a link to a YouTube video called “Eve of Destruction” and set to the song of the same name from the late 60’s. Lots of footage [...]

And still I don’t weigh myself. Too bad there are no smilies in blogs, because just saying that makes me wanna grin, and that one with the big mouthful of teeth would just about perfectly match my feelings on the subject. I mean, sometimes, you’ve just GOT to laugh at yourself, yanno? I want to [...]

Really. Anybody see “What the Bleep..?”???? Really GOOD movie that raises a lot of questions (and even answers some) about quantum physics and the nature of reality. How “real” is reality? Hmmmmm. How much of what we see, feel, believe, is based on perception, and can we always rely 100% on our perceptions? How much [...]

I may be suffering from (yet another) mid-life (okay; late mid-life) crisis. After six years of happiness and contentment with husband # 2, I am feeling distinctly itchy and uncomfortable. Oh, gosh, NO…I’m not looking for a new one (husband, that is): the one I currently have is just fine. For many years now - since [...]

Well. The evil deed is done. My Oh-so-dear son & his oh-so-darling girlfriend have been deposited at the airport, properly hugged and cried over, and sent off into the friendly skies of United. Oh, gawd, yes, I am sad and miserable. Whatever possessed that child to make a life 3,000 miles away from me? Where [...]

Well, it seems that some of you out there in cyberspace actually are reading this here blog! Yikes! Thank you for your comments. Actually, that 22 pounds came from 194, which is where I started. Yeah. Man. And it has never, ever taken me so long to lose 22 pounds. Back in college (during the [...]

Today feels like a grumpy one so far. I went and slept in one of the spare bedrooms last night - at about 2:00 AM after being awakened for the second or third time by DH’s snoring which is even worse than usual now that he has a bit of a cold. I should try [...]

 So this is me in case you were wondering. In case I was wondering, I guess. This blogging stuff is pretty interesting. Nobody reads ‘em but whoever writes ‘em, evidently, and that’s kind of neat in a way. You could pretty much reveal all your deepest, darkest secrets and nobody would be the wiser. Maybe [...]
