The healing power of Bon Jovi…

January 27, 2010 Ms. C2 Comments

Certain music just seems to have the ability to take you to a different place.  As I entered day six with this miserable respiratory curse I was determined to reclaim some of the energy and health I possessed pre-infection.  So I did what any red-blooded eighties rocker would do - I pulled up Bon Jovi [...]

Is that all you’ve got??

January 26, 2010 Ms. C5 Comments

I may be on day five of being sick, but I am not dead yet.  As such I can still find plenty of things that I find curious. Case in point - the forecast for the rest of the week (see it below).  The big news is the remainder of the week will be "cold". [...]

I knew from the early AM [...]

Parenting Realities 101 – Entry Two

January 20, 2010 Ms. C4 Comments

Purge before packing…

January 19, 2010 Ms. C2 Comments

There is a basic tenet of moving that I have twice ignored to my detriment. That tenet is, “Purge before packing.” Not such a difficult tenet to grasp, but clearly one that I have not been able to get a handle on. When I moved from Kindred to West Fargo I didn’t purge because I [...]
