New Music Break

It seems the only thing I’m blogging about these days is this book I’m writing – I’m sure it’s sounding boring. 🙂 Though, it is something that fills every day – especiallly as I approach some of the hard deadlines that I have set – – Thursday, Feb.1 is the first major deadline I have. This project is surely putting my New Years Resolution to stop procrastinating to the test, let me just say! While I’m writing, I have my iTunes on at all times, keeping the music flowing to soothe the savage beast. Between my music and my coffee […]

I'm A Wuss

Throughout my day, as I work – I usually have Yahoo LaunchCast playing. I flip through stations, but usually listen to “The Coffeehouse”. This one song gets played at least twice, or three times, during my day. I can’t stand it – – don’t get me wrong. It’s not that I don’t like the song. It’s a beautiful song, and that is an understatement. It’s beautifully written… and the music, soft.. haunting, sort of. His voice touches.. the edge of emotion in his voice as he sings . . I really hate to admit it – but I teared up […]

Some things just endure

Had to take Kid #1 to work tonight. Kid #2, my daughter, came along for the ride because I mentioned I was stopping at Pier 1 to browse.. she loves that store as much as I do. So, we drop him off at work… make a quick stop at Starbucks, which is totally mandantory, ya know? Starbucks it is… then we’re off to Pier 1. I have one of my favorite CD’s of ALL time (I have a lot of those) in the player and we’re jamming to great tunes. I’m feeling like I’m introducing my 15 year old daughter […]

Oh I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker ..

..In 77 and 69 revolution was in the air I was born too late and to a world that doesn’t care Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair….. Ok, so if you haven’t actually HEARD the song.. you think I’m nuts right about now, eh? Ok – maybe you thought I was nuts to begin with. That works, too. If you’re curious at all – you can watch it: Sandi Thorn – I Wish I was a Punk Rocker That song has been running through my grey matter for the past 3 days solid […]

Who says blogs aren't useful?

Blogs ARE useful! If I didn’t know this before – I know it now. How do I know this? Back in April of this year – I did this post about my engagement ring irritating the skin underneath it. It was really very bothersome to me and for the longest time (even after we got married) I couldn’t wear it. Well, I could wear it for a few days – until the blister and rash started showing up again – then I’d have to take it off for a week or two until it healed. I could then wear it […]

Debunking DaVinci

I read Dan Brown’s “The Da Vinci Code” and thought it was a good book. It had a really good story line – – and some an awesome mystery and thread that made it hard to put down. When I was finished reading his book, I thought… “Hmm.. interesting take.” Kind of like when I saw Oliver Stone’s “JFK” on DVD. “Hmm.. interesting take,” thought I. The whole time understanding, and realizing, that it’s fiction. It’s not an accounting of the true events… because there’s no real historical documentation to back any of it up. It’s just one author’s imagination […]

Books, anyone?

It’s been just one of those weeks. I hit quite a few road bumps along the way over the past 2-3 weeks and I’m now in the process of lulling myself into believing that things will be smooth sailing for at least the next several weeks. A girl can have her dellusions, can’t she? With the stress of everything that’s gone on (and I haven’t really explained the stress but let’s just say this: 1 16 year old boy getting into teenaged mischief, 1 father giving us a health scare, 1 mother still battling her health issues and facing another […]

Glass of Wine and a Good Book

It’s a rare night that I call it a night early. Tonight is one of them. Usually, I work until all hours of the night/morning. Except, on occasion – I just feel the need to shut it down, pour a glass of wine and curl up in bed with a good book. Tonight, I’m going to bed with Vince Flynn. Of course, if you ask him – he’ll flat out deny it! I love his books, though – – and have read every single one of them. Except, of course, the current one I”m reading called “Memorial Day” – – […]

Old Timer

So, I’m sitting here working. While doing so, listening to an iTunes Radio Station… RCN 9412 – Classic Rock That Matters. The song that just came on? The Struggle Within ~ Metallica I’m sorry, but WHEN exactly did THAT become classic rock? Arrgh! Update: For those of you who own websites/blogs – – does it freak you out to see that someone, whose IP you do not recognize, is doing a direct search for using your full name as the keywords? Hey Googler – Hi! /eek!
