There are many days that I don’t drive anywhere. I barely notice there is a car sitting in my driveway. Yet for the second day in a row I’m car-less. And it’s driving me to distraction!
Yesterday the problem was my husband’s minivan. Ironically we’d planned to take it to the garage yesterday because a belt […]
Oh my… I think it’s true…
Larry the Cable Guy, a very funny comedian, is allowing the U.S. Air Force to use his “Git-R-Done” slogan on Air Force promotional materials.
I like Larry the Cable Guy. But I just don’t see “Git-R-Done” as the tag line for an Air Force commercial. What happened to “Aim High! […]
I had lunch with a good friend yesterday… a fellow dreamer/achiever like myself.
We updated each other on our business/super hobby progress, and challenged each other to keep moving forward in big ways.
She asked me why I had decided to change my focus back to public speaking after a short stint as a coach. The […]
Last night my husband and I joined hundreds of other parents, siblings, grandparents and friends at the Westbrook All City Choral Concert. This event showcases the chorus groups from grades 5 thru 12.
Every year Westbrook offers an All-City night for both chorus and band. It’s a wonderful way to experience the progression of learning […]
Today is the first day of spring. Even though it hasn’t been a snowy white winter here in Maine, it has been cold, dark and lonnnnnnggggg.
But starting today things change. Today the weatherman will tell us how many more minutes of daylight we can expect over darkness. That’s always something to celebrate.
Last night […]
I love my cat! Fluffy is a big old, 20-pound Maine Coon cat. I tell people he acts more like a dog than a cat.
For instance, if Fluffy wants to go outside, he waits by the door until someone notices. Good kitty.
But then, once you open the door, he just sits there! He doesn’t move!
“In […]
I’m hooked on Grey’s Anatomy. A friend told me about the show a few weeks ago when he caught a particularly exciting episode. I tuned in the next week to see what the big deal was.
Now I’m a faithful, if delayed, viewer. This past week’s episode was another good one. But before I get […]
I noticed my first daffodils popping from the earth a few weeks ago. I know it was still February and I was thinking, “Oh no! It’s too early!” This weird, but wonderfully warm Maine winter has confused more than the flowers. I read in Sunday’s paper that the maple trees don’t know whether to run […]
It’s happened twice in two days… someone at work has stated, “I’m bored.” They didn’t even have any enthusiasm as they said it. It was just a hum-drum heart felt, deeply depressing grumbling of discontent.
When I asked why they were bored, they both responded: “There’s nothing to do.”
Immediately I smiled. You see when my children […]
Have you ever been so excited you almost jumped out of your dress? Well, that’s what I saw watching the final minutes of the Academy Awards and the reaction of the stars of Crash as their movie was awarded Best Picture.
One woman was trying to jump for joy but her strapless dress limited her ability […]
