Sometimes you have to take the leap and build your wings on the way down. In the new forty that is what I am doing – building my wings.

Keep the receipt…just in case.

November 26, 2010 Ms. C2 Comments

After my son Noah shoveled my driveway and did a number of other chores at my house yesterday he consulted with his siblings about the four of them going in on one big Christmas present for me.  They planned to head out first thing this morning to scour the Black Friday sales for the best [...]

Got attitude?

November 25, 2010 Ms. CLeave a comment

I've got attitude alright and it is one of the utmost gratitude.  I am grateful for a thousand things large and small this day - as I am every day.  In addition I will be grateful today for a fifth Thanksgiving in a row with no casualties from my cooking. On this Thanksgiving I hope [...]

Scanning my “horizon”…

November 24, 2010 Ms. C1 Comment

There is quite an uproar about the full body scans the TSA has implemented and its alternative  - the full body pat down.  I can understand folks angst over both procedures as they both seem very invasive.  I think folks would feel a tad better about submitting to such searches if they knew that TSA's [...]

Book early…

Let me be amongst the first to say this winter - SNOW BLOWS! We aren't even 24 hours into the first significant snowfall of the season and I am already ready to go on record as saying I am over it. Unfortunately, the word is that there is much more of this to come this [...]

November 21, 2010 Ms. C1 Comment

I need a splatter shield!

November 16, 2010 Ms. C2 Comments

Ever since our little flood event here (which occurred toward the end of September) we have been down to one bathroom.  The other bathroom - the downstairs bathroom - is disembodied, as is the rest of my whole lower level. There is more to talk about here, but I don't want to start such a [...]

I gotta’ have faith…

November 13, 2010 Ms. CLeave a comment

I cannot say that I say this often, but I am with George Michael - "I gotta' have faith." Today in The Forum there is an article about an upcoming article in Men's Health magazine that ranks Fargo at 94 out of 100 cities in "religious devotion" (the magazine's latest Metrogrades comparison).  I won't even [...]
