  • Tomorrow Will Be One Month

    It has been a month since Mom’s funeral. It is kind of hard to believe it has been that long already. I know it will take time. I don’t know how I did it, but I got back to work the following week. Tried to keep myself busy. Tried to be there for Dad and…

  • The Sledding Cat Spotted on CNN

    I was just sent a link to this video from a friend and fellow cat lover over at CatToys.com. This video shows a cat sledding down a hill and ENJOYING it! He even gets off and starts heading back up the hill when he is done for another ride. I don’t think my big scaredy-cat…

  • Khaaaaaaan

    Ricardo Montalban passed away. He died January 14, 2009. As posted over at the Huffington Post, he is often remembered by things like: “Fine Corinthian leather,” Khan and, “Smiles, everyone, smiles.” The “Fine Corinthian leather” dates us all.

    Remember the Fisher Space pen and how cool it was to be able to write anywhere even upside down? I found another pen that is just as cool, maybe even cooler. (If that’s possible since the Fisher Space pen did do a licensed Star Trek pen back in the day, I have one in my…

  • I Want It Wednesday: Nightmare to be Over

    I want to wake up from this nightmare and still have my mom. I know she is in a better place but I miss her terribly. There is just so much I did not get to tell her, or do with her, or learn from her. I miss her. I will return to my normal…

  • Hospital Horrors

    I had to go to the hospital for tests (more ultrasounds on my legs because of the accident) the Friday after mom’s funeral. It was hard enough going back into a hospital only days after my mother just died in one, but given the reception (or lack there of) at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Reading…
