Social Networking Shame

Social Networking Shame

Social networking… Every day is like a mini class reunion—so much fun and yet so much potential for shame. Yeah, it recently occurred to me that when I meet up with old friends on Facebook I’m kind of embarrassed about never having left the town in which I went to college. I might as well just...

Braindump

June 3, 2010

You know…I used to write about so many different things in this space and even now, I *think* about things I want to write about here but in the end..this place seems to have become a place to either reflect on my mental state or whine about it. — The feeling. It’s subtle but it’s there…quietly...

Life, the Universe and Everything

Life, the Universe and Everything

I recently removed myself from a situation that was making me really unhappy. Actually, it was making me more than unhappy. I was stressed all the time; I felt distrustful of the people I was involved with and constantly felt enveloped in negativity. I had originally entered this situation at a friend’s request.

Let the Sun Shine In (Before I Bite Someone’s Head Off)!

March 15, 2010

Always with the Guilt…

February 23, 2010

I’m not an anxious person by nature. I mean I do worry about things but I don’t SUFFER from anxiety naturally. It’s actually a side effect of my antidepressant which…I’m pretty sure I can’t live without. So. I just deal with the unfortunate side effect of random anxiety. It doesn’t come every day. In fact...

I Want

January 14, 2010

Resurrected by request, for Sarah D. Lately, I’ve been lost in my head. Daydreaming. Longing. Wishing I had a time machine or some such device that would let me be young again. It’s not that I want to relive my youth; my glory days, per se. I don’t want to repeat history — I got...

Black Holes and Revelations

November 16, 2009

I had a terrible revelation last night… My husband and I were in bed watching the Doctor Who special (yes, we’re geeks and I kinda love David Tennant so SHUT IT) and this particular story was set in the year 2059. I didn’t give the year 2059 a second thought until my husband randomly noted out...

What? I’ve been busy…

November 11, 2009

Attitude is Everything!!!

September 17, 2009

When I woke up this morning with my head throbbing, husband grousing around and my children carrying on about one thing or another…I wanted to roll over and go back to sleep. I feel like that a lot lately, as noted in a previous post. I think my exact thought this morning was that...
