I’m basically a shy person. I find it difficult to “put myself out there” and as a result, I have a tough time making new friends.
In recent months, there have been some people in my life who have drifted away. I no longer hear from these people, they no longer care about me, and my [...]
The Guys

On Friday, we had a tree cut down in our backyard. H enjoyed watching the 2 men work and immediately started calling them “Guys.” He spent most of the evening looking out at them through the french doors in the family room and walking out onto our screened porch for a closer look. He was [...]

I haven’t entertained you all with a “Nancy” story in quite some time. Here’s a quick one!
Background:
I love to share stories about my coworker, Nancy. Nancy is a man and of course, “Nancy” is not his real name. It’s a nickname that my colleague and friend, Bill, and I have determined is most suitable. Nancy [...]

Several of my fellow bloggers have been sharing their memories of growing up – in the city, in the country, or in a small town. Reading about their “good ole days” has sparked memories of my own.
I grew up in a small town. Although it was not far from a metropolitan area (about 50 miles), [...]

I got my Invisalign last night.
I had no idea that the dentist would have to install “attachers” onto my teeth. Directly on the front of my teeth. I really don’t know how I thought the aligners would stay in place, but the attachers never occurred to me. I now have 10 attachers on my teeth. [...]

When I arrived at work yesterday, the first thing I did was flip my wall calendar to June. The Company produces a diversity calendar for all employees and that’s what I having hanging at my desk. Each month features a different group and provides a tidbit of information about the group to go along with [...]
I Lub You

This week’s Spin Cycle topic is “Saying I Love You.” See Sprite’s Keeper for more “I Love You” spins.
When I first read this week’s Spin Cycle topic, I wasn’t sure that I wanted to participate. I’ve already written Our Love Story – about how Blue Eyes and I met and I certainly didn’t want to [...]
