Wish it was larger?

September 14, 2009 Ms. C4 Comments

"Wish it was larger?" That was the subject line of an email in my junk mail box. Hmmmm…not exactly sure what direction the email was going to go with that query, but it caused me to reflect on the question. Do I wish it was larger? If you are asking if I wish my bank [...]

I’ve got a fever… :-(

September 13, 2009 Ms. CLeave a comment

Well, I’ve caught it. I knew it was only a matter of time. I guess I am fortunate that I escaped it this long. Yep…I have remodeling fever. Three and a half years in on my West Fargo house and all the newness has long worn off. When I first purchased the house I painted [...]

I would not sob uncontrollably…

September 9, 2009 Ms. C5 Comments

Me with James Lee Witt I think everyone has a few famous folks that they admire - some more rationally than others. I could not imagine crying and passing out for a rock band or a movie star, but there were a few people that I would likely have an out-of-body experience if I were [...]

You’re braver than you believe…

September 8, 2009 Ms. C3 Comments

Yesterday marked my second month anniversary on this blog site. Today is day sixty-five of the new forty. Folks who know me are amazed that I find time to blog every day, but that was the gift I gave to myself in the beginning – the permission to do this one thing selfishly for me. [...]
