I was talking with someone a while back who used the word “dramatic” as she described me.  “You’re dramatic. But not as dramatic as....” her voice trailed off as that sentence took me by surprise.  “Me?” “Dramatic?” “Really?” “Hmmm, am I?” “So and so is the description of dramatic!”  “Am I like that?!” “Ugh, am … Continue reading Pie In The Face →

Perception. It’s a funny thing isn’t it?! When I was a kid we would drive by this little two story home, white with black shutters, tucked off the road about 50 yards and the outside was severely run down. I loved this little house. I don’t even know why. It was disheveled yard, a collection of … Continue reading Perception →

That time I landed flat on my face in the parking lot splitting my chin open scaring you something fierce. That time I thought it was a good idea to hang a picture in my room but ended up putting a hole in the wall and then decided it was an even better idea to … Continue reading That Time →

From September to the first part of May, Dad and I bowl together on Thursday nights in a mixed league. We meet about 6:30, spend some time together, get frustrated and excited for each other, laugh and be corny together, and I also get the chance to see him with his friends, doing his thing. … Continue reading AARP →

Truth?  I’m really good at doing nothing.   When I hear people say things like... “I like being busy”  “I need something to do”  “I can’t sit still.”  I have a really hard time relating to those feelings.

I’m also sure there are many beautiful words in the English language already available to us and the mere thought … Continue reading Awelytastic →

I’m a sports fanatic. I say that because I like all of them. Or, most of them I should say. There’s just a few I can think of that I really don’t care for or watch at all.  Just a few, and I won’t name them because they’re probably important to some people, and that’s … Continue reading Sports Fanatic →

Have I become completely self absorbed? Or am I just in a constant state of Self Reflection?  After much contemplation of this exact sentence, I have finally decided it is actually a healthy form of Self Reflection.   The year I turned 27 I specifically remember saying to myself “By the time I turn 30 … Continue reading Rose Bush →

I swear I think my knees buckled a little when I saw them.  They were nothing like any other style boot I had seen before.   As she put her hand on the door to leave, I could already feel the regret creeping in. “Why didn’t I just ask her about them?!” “How am I … Continue reading Touché →

I have a friend who has spontaneously looked at me, on more then one random occasion, and said.... “If I looked like you, I’d rule the world.”  Can you imagine?! My first reaction is absolute hysteria.  I burst out laughing every time, which instantly transforms into smirking, as in “I am now a family member … Continue reading Rule The World →
