tremendous MOXIE

I really had a great day! It started at 4 am. My usual alarm time. My daughter had set her alarm and came in to wake me up with a gift. She made me a card and gave me the super cute shirt I’m wearing in the picture. She had gotten it probably 6 months [...]

I want to post about my wonderful birthday, but first I found this article. Very good (a little long) reading about competing. I’m not really into all the TAO stuff, but the ideas are really good.

We’re going to the Melting Pot for dinner. Yum! I was going to post a picture of myself 20 a few years back, but can’t seem to locate one right now. Anyway, I’m a happy girl. God has given me a wonderful family and a few good friends. I’m grateful for my life everyday and [...]

1. I was noticing, while in Ohio, something I thought was interesting. No bathrooms have toilet seat cover dispensers. In California you will have to search pretty hard to find one that doesn’t have them. So, this leaves me to wonder: Do Ohioans not sit or are Californians germaphobic? 2. There is an ice cream [...]

I think today things will be more normal. I felt like this whole week was a blur, which is good I guess. Although, the whole hubby out of town thing was topped by a flat tire yesterday when I went to leave for work. I’m learning to be flexible. After coming back from the Arnold, [...]
