  …but not the kind you think.  Anyone who knows me knows I am not into fitness, exercising or any kind of athletic activity at all.  I will surf – yes, surf – for funny anti-workout memes on Facebook.  I am not proud of this, but I am also not ashamed either (if that makes any sense).  One […]

  For as long as I can remember, I have had odd thoughts about things.  Well, not really odd – I guess you could say unusual.  If I’m watching a scene in a movie and they’re showing a family eating, I focus on the table.  Do they drink soda with dinner?  Is ketchup being used?  […]

  This is disgusting, I know…and it’s just (I think) ants.  For quite some time now, my cats have been plagued by fleas!  I hate them, and I think the cats do too. The kittens that we took in after finding them in the basement were perfectly healthy and clean – bug free!  Many people […]

Lately, I have been feeling nostalgic.  I’m not really sure why.  I think it could be the fact that Ellie and I had been getting ready to attend the Backstreet Boys DNA Tour.  I was looking through a lot of things online, and as I was finding different videos of theirs to watch, I found […]

It’s soon going to be Fall.  As much as I enjoy warm weather, I am looking forward to the change.  I don’t know about the rest of you, but I don’t eat much soup in the summer months.  Unless it’s at a Chinese restaurant, given as part of a special at the diner or, more […]

“Kind words do not cost much. Yet they accomplish much.” – Blaise Pascal Words matter.  They have the power to make or break your day.  An encounter, a small conversation or just a brief comment can stay in your memory for a long time.  Whether the words were nice or if they were unkind doesn’t […]

  Today I have had quite a few different kinds of thoughts rattle around in my head.  Some were good, some were just ok. Ellie needed someone to come and do cement work around the base of our house.  The basement needs to get sealed so no more cats and kittens get inside (or worse yet, […]

As you know, I recently started a job.  I’m thankful and grateful to be at my hospital again, but almost as important – I am so very happy to start back on a more strong financial ground. I thank God every day for Jeff.  He has kept our little family afloat these past few months.  […]

There’s no such thing as just work friends.  I have always thought this.  And I believe it even more now. Recently, I started a new job.  Truly though it isn’t really a new job.  It is the job I had before I left for Florida.  I was (after a long wait and an even longer […]

I don’t think I’m really all that unique.  Other than the fact that I am fifty-six years old with seven cats and I’m also a pro wrestling fan, I think I’m fairly regular.  I love my friends and family, and in general I am a very happy person.  I love being home, tinkering around the […]
