Last Saturday, a friend of mine passed away. She was 42. We became friends when we were 13. I still haven’t been able to fully comprehend. We double-dated to Homecoming, Courtwarming, Prom. I went to Worlds of Fun her inaugural weekend of being a dancing panda. We rode together in her red escort. Windows down, musicContinue reading “ISO: 29-year friendship”

On Taking Time…
My work schedule, my life schedule has been wonky now and again for a few weeks. I have been taking a lot of naps and going to bed early and having a strong desire to sleep in. I choose stupid TV and stupid video games over sewing, walking, reading. Yes, totally ringing clanging alarm bells.Continue reading “On Taking Time…”
We Can !
Embarrasing revelation: I recently purchased a Tony Robbins audiobook. I am desperate to find the motivation to meet my goals. I am 42. And that number is meaningful to me because of Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy series – books I loved in high school. 42 figures predominantly in that story. For no good reason otherContinue reading “We Can !”
42 and Rambling
A staple of my latest schtick, for anyone who will stick around for my stand-up, is pondering whether my current love of life is genuine or a result of my anti-depressant. I am not sure why it matters, good is good. I am going with it. Yesterday was my 42nd birthday. And it was fabulous.Continue reading “42 and Rambling”
No Time to Wait
I really hate losing an hour. Looking at the clock for the next few days and it being later than I expected every time is a bummer. I turn 42 in a few weeks, and I am running out of time. In the past year, I have progressed in some goals that I am veryContinue reading “No Time to Wait”
But I Made This…
I am working towards some goals to become the person I want to be. The best description of this is that I am a life-long learner. A less generous description is that I am unfocused and undisciplined. I am a little flabbergasted that at 41 I still am making lists of who I want toContinue reading “But I Made This…”
#anythingnsew
I am motivated by getting time to sew. I get cranky and worried and no fun when I feel like my protected time on the weekend for sewing may evaporate. In the past few months I have gotten better. But I am an addict. In the best and the worst sense of the word. IContinue reading “#anythingnsew”
It is December. It is cold. It is Monday. This is dinner.
I am trying to make cooking interesting, tasty, simple, easy meals a normal occurrence around here. I am challenging myself to cook on Monday nights. Most Monday nights I would like to crawl under a blanket and eat a cheeseburger. But I have been finding that once I start to cook, it isn’t that bad.Continue reading “It is December. It is cold.

Ready for the next year…
I pontificated last week about my impatience. My impatience does drive me to constantly look for new challenges. Quilting really helps me with that – there always is something I haven’t done yet and projects to finish. Quilting is still my love, but it has been my all for the past year. As I think aboutContinue reading “Ready for the next year…”
