Month: November 2012

How did this happen? Wasn't it just Jan 1, 2012 a couple months ago?So, in honor of the last day of the 11th month of the year 2012, I think A List is in order. Even better...A List of Randomness. *aka I really have nothing to say so I will make it up as I [...]

Thanks, everyone for all of the sweet comments. Deciding to title my blogs alphabetically in November was really the outcome of trying to figure out a way to come up with something to write about each day. It wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be and I think it really gave me an [...]

UPDATE: My bff from high school, Joyce was the first to answer correctly: The blog titles are alphabetical. But your comments were enlightening...apparently I am obsessed with change or, rather, hating change, lol.  The first person who comments on my blog in the comments section with the correct answer will win.

I love words. Yuletide is just a cool. word. It has a Germanic origin. The people on my mom's side of the family are German-Swiss so I loved the connection there. I googled the word and clicked on the Merriam-Webster link for the definition. It is sad that I got tons more info about Yuletide [...]

It's all encompassing...all of the Holiday's being united under one umbrella. But one day, while shopping in a large department store, the cashier said, [...]

I've been taking stock of my joy the last week or so.As a rule, I tend to focus on what I don't have and what's not right in my life rather than what I do have and what's great in my life. My Man has always been the optimistic and me...not so much.But that is [...]

My one dedicated reader, who refers to herself as The Peanut Gallery, put a note in the blog suggestion box regarding tattoos. I think it's a good subject to discuss. Now that I have one, I think I can speak semi-intelligently on the subject. You are probably not going to agree with me.Which is totally [...]
