Unplugged

I’ve been feeling a major disconnect the last few months. Now that the winter is over – and the sun is finally blessing us with it’s presence – I’m hoping that this feeling will ebb away.
But it’s not just the weather.  I feel like I’ve been so busy with all sorts of activities – but [...]

Friday Foto Fiesta!

Each week, Candid Carrie hosts an event – Phriday Photo Phiesta!
This is my first time playing along – I thought I’d give it a try as part of NaBloPoMo.
This is one of my new favorite pictures.
This is Kim, Brad, Jonathan & I in Nairobi last month, on the last day of our trip.  Kim, Brad [...]

Where I’ve been….

I know that I’ve been very AWOL lately on this site.  I’ve been suffering from a chaotic mix of over scheduling, reclusive downtime and major writers block.
I haven’t been home between 7:30am and 11pm this week.  It’s all “good” stuff – but it definitely keeps me from posting on here.  I have time to hop [...]

100 Pieces – #11

11.) I go to Opening Day for the Detroit Tigers every year.
And I go with my fabulous friend Kathy – who makes the whole experience fun. She also looks after me to make sure that my food/adult beverage ratio is on the right track. Kathy also knows the city way [...]

Summertime fun

Last weekend was Awesome!
First I found out that my fabulous niece was coming into town for a surprise visit. I think we’ll have her for two weeks.
Then we had a bbq & pool party at my friend Melissa’s house for her birthday.
And it was sunny
And there were potato chips, cake and ice cream.
And there were [...]

a pox on you!

What a great insult.  I mean, really – who would actually wish for someone to have the pox if they didn’t truly despise the person?
Most people I know have had chicken pox as a child.  It’s just one of those things that you get.  One of those itchy, scratchy, feverish, uncomfortable, downright miserable things that [...]

change of plans

In the words of Kelly B’s grandma -  I’ve decided to get off my pity-pot.   It’s about time.
There are still moments each day that I get a little bit blue, but then I just focus on all that is going well in my life right now.
The DSW’s (my fabulous small group)

Friends

Golf (not playing great, but [...]

Thursday update and mosaic answers

Know what I think is pretty awesome?  Electricity.  Oh – how I do miss thee!  I haven’t had power since last Sunday.  And while I’m surviving just fine, it’s beginning to wear on my nerves a bit.  The last two days have been pretty comfortable after the weather cooled off a bit.  But today and [...]

Monday Meme

Here’s a little something I picked up from Supertiff.  I thought it’d be fun to do while I was waiting on hold a few times today.
Here were her directions:
The concept:
1. Type your answer to each of the questions below into Flickr Search.
2. Using only the first page of results, pick one image.
3. Copy and paste [...]

party all the time

Yawn – I still feel like I’m on a rollercoaster – shooting from one thrill to another, never knowing what’s around the next turn. But I guess that’s part of the fun of living, right?
It’s been a very social couple of weeks, with an action-packed schedule. (so action packed, in fact, that I [...]
