Dear Baby
Dear Baby, One year ago today I found out I was pregnant with you. This is the story of how I told your dad. Daddy was in training in Florida at the time and I was staying with Grandma when I found out. I hated the thought of telling Daddy over the phone so I […]
10 Random Things About Me ……
…..that no one really wants to know but I’m going to share anyway. 10. I’m in my mid-30s, divorced, remarried and mother of a 3 month old baby boy. (Okay, so that’s five things in one sentence. Oh well.) 9. I’ve been to all 50 states (Yes that includes Hawaii, Alaska and New Mexico. They […]
A Word to the Wise
Last weekend I was very excited to find a small shop down the street from where I live that offers sewing and quilting lessons. They even offer a combination class that starts with sewing and progresses to quilting. I anxiously enrolled and paid $50 for the class. This was slightly more than what I paid […]
A Day in the Life of a Disgruntled Blogger
It never ceases to amaze me how much information people feel they need to share on Twitter or on Facebook. Not that I have any place to judge because I’m typically a woman of too much information myself…..but that’s typically when I’m in the company of close friends (or strangers if I’ve had too much […]

I looked and looked everywhere for sewing lessons and finally found lessons offered at Joann Fabric. I eagerly called the store and signed up for a class, paying for the $35 lesson […]
Attention Consumers!!!
This blog is dedicated to any one out there who would like to purchase a docking station for his/her cell phone. I found what I believe could be the one and only universal docking station. In all fairness I haven’t tested this out on all cell phones. But it does work for my Samsung Epic. […]
Conversations I have with my Computer……
Ah, another fabulous day of unemployment. Despite my best effort to find work, I’m left only with a few household chores and my overactive imagination to keep me busy throughout the day. I could be a writer or I could be a wanna be writer. I chose writer. So here I am, in my mother’s […]
Random thoughts I have….
My day started off pretty swell. I did my Wii workout, hung out at the library and then ran to the store to pick up some items for dinner. Even though I had a list of things I needed, I still, out of habit, make a point of walking up and down the aisles looking […]
Sorry It Doesn’t Work That Way…..
This is yet another example of the shit that absolutely shocked me during my brief stint in retail. Rules are there for a reason. So are laws. Identity theft is a very real problem. It isn’t just the consumer’s problem. It’s also the problem of every company that gets duped by a fake ID and […]
You can have that when I get a pony.
Right after I began working in retail I encountered my first of many difficult customers. Speaking as a frequent customer myself I have to say that the customers who frequented this store were certainly creative. The things that they asked for or demanded never ceased to amazed me. It never even occurred to me that […]
