So this is where I have been for the past month: I have tendonitis (De Quervains). Those black splints are so much fun! I had my choice of colors, y’all. Day glow pink! Neon Green! Bozo the Clown Red! I thought the black would go better with my work wardrobe. [...]

Love me some David Cook - 2008 American Idol!!! (Sorry, bragging rights and all…)

I can’t believe I am actually writing the second post in a day, let alone week - I just had a very good day and I wanted to document it. My Mom is actually going through a very stressful period and is a bit sleep deprived. I told my sister in law that [...]

I had a reunion with my Dermatologist yesterday. It was the first time we had seen each other since I left for Australia, way back in ‘05. He was very happy to see me, because I used to rack up a considerable amount of time in his office. One day I told [...]

This probably goes under the heading of ‘Too Much Information’, but it’s what has been going on with me and you know, that’s life. I had every intention of posting last week, but I have been diagnosed with Shingles. When I told my Mom, she said she wasn’t surprised. First of all, I have [...]

Next month will be anniversary numero deux with my hunka hunka burnin’ LURVE. The past six months have been a whole lotta stress. I think we are both beginning to rebound a bit. We could definitely benefit from some down time, some away time and copious amounts of alcoholic beverages, with a [...]

So, I have decided to come out of hibernation to declare that I am so very proud to be living in the city that is home to the Kansas Jayhawks, the 2008 NCAA Basketball National CHAMPIONS!!!
