Loose Threads and Other Random Thoughts
Weekends in my house tend to be quiet. The kids usually go and stay with my mother~in~law pretty much from the minute they step off the bus until we force ask them to come home. And the hubs either works, races or hangs out with his friends so I’m pretty much left to my own devices, which I love. This weekend, however, was different. I survived a “man cold”, made a headband and weathered a power outage… Friday I woke up to hear the hubs moaning into the phone “I’m not coming in today” sniff sniff “I don’t feel well” cough cough. Inwardly, I groaned because this didn’t bode well for…

The Dramatic Story of Our Birth
My sister and I have always known the dramatic story of our birth. Mom used it as a way to highlight my our need for attention since birth. And as I tell you the story, you’ll understand that we come by our dramatics honestly. Thank you, Mom and Dad… It was about 5 AM on a Saturday morning in 1973 when my dad went racing down the streets of Washington, D.C. in his little Datsun. With dual horns blaring and my mother tensing up in labor, my dad violated every traffic law on the books. Really, what do stop lights mean when your wife is about to give birth to…

I’ve Registered for the Spark into Spring Virtual 5K
If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you’ll know that every blue moon I get a wild hair and decide that I want to do something like run a 5K. Last year, I registered for the Children’s Advocacy Center’s 6th Annual Moonlight Run in Scranton but I ended up not being able to run it because of that whole temporary blindness thing. I ended up walking it in 47 minutes. Even though I was able to participate in last year’s race as a walker, my goal is still to run a 5K. I won’t be able to participate in this year’s CAC 5K because of a scheduling conflict…

Day 30: My Hopes, Dreams and Plans for the Next 365 Days
This is the time of year when people start writing resolutions and planning to make big changes for the new year and, I can’t lie, I tend to do the same thing. So writing this post should come easy but it doesn’t. Every year I make grand plans and, for the most part, I do a good job of following through. Until March. I don’t know why, but March is my “quitting month.” So this year, rather than writing out a list of resolutions, I will share my hopes, dreams and plans for the next 365 days (with the knowledge that, ultimately, everything is in His hands and it is…

Day 25: My Day in Great Detail
Be prepared to be incredibly bored…. 06:15 Wake up 06:30 Drive the kids to the bus stop 06:35~07:00 Watch a variety of news programs; I start with Fox News, flip to CNN then land on The Daily Buzz (Fox bothers me because of the political and familial nepotism, CNN rocks it out with their music snippets but I get bored with the small talk) 07:00~08:00 Watch The Early Show; during an Estee Lauder commercial I’m reminded again of the wonder and whimsy that is Regina Specktor’s voice. 08:00~08:30 Watch All in the Family ~ that show is classic, the humor dead on and the topics still applicable today. 08:30~10:30 Go…

Day 22: Websites I Enjoy When I Need to Revisit My Youth
I’m such a retro chick. I love TV Land and Nick at Nite, especially when they go old school and air shows like All in the Family, Maude, The Jeffersons, Good Times. In fact, I try to find ways to work retro TV shows and music into just about every class I teach. Those shows dealt with topics such as abortion, rape, death, homosexuality, aging, racism and economic woes with more depth, humor and intelligence than many of the shows on air today. Anyway, two websites that help to feed my flashback needs are Hulu and YTTM. Hulu allows you to watch television shows (both old and new), I use…

Day 19: My Talent
Is the ability to slay confusion with the appropriate resource one reference question at a time… I can also balance a stack of books, a cup of coffee and a cell phone while fixing a paper jam without breaking a sweat. What’s your talent? Do you use your powers for good or evil?
