This morning ushered in the first of the season’s fog, at least in these parts. It stayed darker longer, the morning was fuzzy and gray, and I did something I’ve not done since before the summer began: I made a cup of coffee to accompany me during my morning routine. Something about coffee in the […]
My evening walk takes me past the elementary school I attended from kindergarten through third grade. A lot about it is the same, but much is completely different. There’s a scrolling LED sign in place of the old marquee which held changeable, firm letters. It’s the new millenium’s way of announcing the important things, I […]
It’s been one heck of a week and a half, so I was more than ready to see Friday roll around. On my way home this evening, I stopped to buy a birthday gift for a friend and, once back in my car, exhaled a sigh of relief. The only things before me were rummaging […]
If I could get paid to sleep, write, go on fantastic walks and drink wine, I’d be a happy camper. By “paid,” I mean in money. Dollars. Dinero. Not in burritos, although I do adore them. Not in elastic waist comfy pants, although I do find them to be quite delightful. Nothing shady, nothing illegal. […]
In the middle of Anaheim there’s a beautiful home which sits on such a massive piece of land, you’d swear they owned horses. I think they used to, actually, but no longer. The house is wood siding and brick, the former painted a lovely shade of pale yellow. Its detached garage looks like a miniature […]
I went to my thyroid appointment earlier today, and a mother and her daughter — maybe around a year and a half old — were also in the waiting room. The child was running around the space and wore shoes which were made to squeak every time she walked or kicked something. To make matters […]
“I got a screw in my tire and my cat’s at the vet.” Sounds like it could be the opening line of a country song, no? Alas, it’s my life today. Sigh. After two new front tires on Friday, I spotted a screw last night in one of my larger rear tires. The place where […]
This blog is the product of some inspiration that came my way after starting a book of daily devotions I bought at the beginning of January 2012. Since then, with the exception of one day, I’ve written daily — by midnight in whatever time zone I happen to be in. I was on a roll […]
Some days I’m just not sure where the time goes. Work, battle traffic on the way home, hit the grocery store, pick up a greeting card, then to the cleaners, bank, gas station, home to sign the card, then back to the post office to mail said card. Back home again, tend to the pets, […]
Grocery shopping is something I enjoy. I make my lists based on the layout of the store, and methodically cruise around until every item is in my cart. Tonight I was fulfilling my single girl job description: perusing cat toys in the pet aisle. I was debating whether to purchase the wand with a wad […]
