(Photo courtesy of clipart-library.com) …but I won’t do that.  Anyone remember that Meatloaf song?  Am I dating and aging myself here?  Maybe, but…there are some things I will do, in the name of saving money.  I want to keep my finances in check so I can accomplish all I want to do.  But there are […]

Close but no cigar.  A classic phrase I heard way back during my Freshman year in High School.  I had never heard it before, and I don’t know why it made me laugh the way it did (probably because of the teacher who said it).  To me, this statement meant that things were close, yet […]

…of scary movies.  I always have been, and I probably always will be.  Recently we were talking at work about this type of movie.  I don’t mind suspense, but I really prefer comedy over any other kind.  Rest assured, I won’t be attending the showings of “It” and “Annabelle 2” – or whatever it’s called.  […]

Happy Fall, y’all…it’s a common term around this time of year.  You see it in ads, you see it on decorations.  We have been saying it for a year or so, when we were sure our Beavis made it up himself.  Don’t ask me how a cat could be responsible for this, or why it […]

Tomorrow starts a very significant month for me.  October is when the awful disease of Breast Cancer is spotlighted to bring awareness.  The Pink – the articles, written reports, media, awareness and remembrance walks, all of it – it is undertaken with a goal in mind – to make the public aware of things to know about […]

The other day I wrote about things that I didn’t like, things that made me mad and things that in general just aren’t good.  Today, I decided to write about things that I like and that make me happy.  I’m writing about things that make me smile. I love seeing and hearing people give each […]

…and yet another reference to the one and only live (basically the only one) Seinfeld episode I saw.  With the cooler weather coming, it’s time to look forward to soup – soup of all kinds.  You can think of soup as an addition to a meal, or it can be the meal itself.  Your bowl […]

Today has been an annoying day.  I can’t even pinpoint one thing to make it so, but that’s what today has been like.  Irritating.  Aggravating.  You can even say it has been borderline maddening.  Combined with what has been happening today, I have started thinking about other pet peeves of mine. I am annoyed by people […]

(Photo courtesy of Worldsbestcatlitter.com) “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.”    (Charles Caleb Colton, 1820) Many people agree that it is best to be yourself, to be your own person.  You should be your own person with your own wants, dreams and personal ways to achieve these things.  However, I also believe the above statement.  I don’t think […]

  …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 […]
