Alright, let’s do it. Back on the horse. Typing into the void. For the historical record. It’s been a few weeks. Some of that was intentional. Some of that was…gestures wildly at everything. I kind of took the holidays off. Busy family time. Food. Noise. The good stuff. Then the new year rolled in and … More January 12, 2026 – Hi! Let’s Write a Blog Post
Fifteen more shopping days until Christmas – sixteen if you count Christmas Eve, which I do because it makes me feel like I have my life slightly more together and I actually love going out to the stores on Christmas Eve. My advice – because it is my blog, and therefore I grant myself full … More December 9 – Christmas Unplugged
I don’t have Trump Derangement Syndrome. Nope. Not me. I’ve diagnosed myself, and it’s not that. I don’t even have Moron Derangement Syndrome. (Honestly, I can handle moronic behavior – it’s practically a community pastime. I’m a moron at least twice a week.) So what do I have when it comes to President Trump?

I do go to sleep listening to either rain noise, music by Sade or Teddy Afro (an Ethiopian … More Thursday – The Wake-Up Playlist You Never Asked For
I’m cheating today. I am sharing an opinion post that I didn’t write but saw shared on Facebook (Thanks to Gaylan for sharing!) It comes from a former West Virginia legislator. I have thought about,and had a lot of discussions about her topic. It is one reason why I write this blog. She puts it … More Friday – Bearing Witness
“What if…” That’s how every episode of Wild Kratts begins. The Kratt Brothers say it with such energy and excitement right before they’re whisked away into the animated world of creatures and adventures. My youngest, Eleni, loves this show. Honestly, I do too. It’s that perfect mix of real-life science and cartoon storytelling, educational, colorful, … More Wednesday – What If…
I was talking to a guy the other day, and he said he hadn’t had a day off in 28 days. Yikes. (Isn’t that a horror movie? Oh no, that’s “28 Days Later” but working 28 straight days seems like a horror movie) I was like, “OMG…why not?” And he just kind of shrugged like … More Monday – The Power of an Enrichment Day
If I was elected! I’ve thought about this probably more than I should. But hey — when you’re a kid you imagine you’re the star quarterback or the point guard. As an adult, maybe it’s not that strange to imagine you’re the President or a senator… right? (Okay, maybe a little strange. But stick with … More Saturday – If I was Elected
