This pic was from G’s 40th birthday 12 years ago in Vegas. This dress is still hanging up in my closet. I can still wear it but it fits a bit differently because there’s a bit more of me to love nowadays. While I have given away several items over the years, I’m still hangingContinue reading “Inside Out”

Mom’s Silver Anniversary
Twenty five years ago, my mother passed away. In anticipation of this, I typed up a long blog entry that described her last day, but it made me sad, and that’s not what I want to see pop up as a memory in the future. I would much rather remember the happy times. At thatContinue reading “Mom’s Silver Anniversary”
Thoughts on Netflix’s Dahmer
Like many of you, I watched Dahmer on Netflix. In 1991 when these gruesome crimes were discovered, I remember hearing about it, but I didn’t spend a lot of time learning much about him. At that time I was a high school graduate and was preparing to start my freshman year of college. Now thatContinue reading “Thoughts on Netflix’s Dahmer”
For Homecoming Escorts
I am a bit late with this season’s homecoming thoughts because of my day job. For the most part I have seen the usual: short dresses, young ladies in the traditional pose (all huddled up together touching elbows while slightly bending) and boys wearing too short pants with no socks. I’m never going to likeContinue reading “For Homecoming Escorts”
Randomness on a Sunday Morning
I have enjoyed seeing pics of my friends and their travels. I have identified some places I would like to visit in the future! As much as I am interested in your pics, I’m probably only going to look at 12 of the many pics you post. Try as I might, after the 13th orContinue reading “Randomness on a Sunday Morning”
Random Thanksgiving Thoughts
I originally wrote this a year ago, but the sentiments remain the same. If you’re not out shopping, enjoy. Random Thanksgiving Thoughts. They aren’t as lighthearted as my previous entries, and that’s okay. Plus, you’re most likely not doing much today, hopefully, so you might as well read my musings. Or don’t. I’m thankful forContinue reading “Random Thanksgiving Thoughts”
Wednesday Random Thoughts
I just saw the New Edition and New Kids on the Block performance at Sunday’s American Music Awards. Both groups look great in their older age. I loved the trench coats that NE wore. The wardrobe choice didn’t look too bulky and they still moved well. NKOTB’s outfits were age appropriate, too. I didn’t mindContinue reading “Wednesday Random Thoughts”
“Happy” Halloween
Until recently, Halloween was never on my radar, but I think social media has made it a much bigger deal, at least to me. When I was in 8th grade, a friend had a haunted house and I remember screaming at the top of my lungs. A few years ago, I began dressing up DottieContinue reading ““Happy” Halloween”
In Memory of Lou
My mother, Lou Hattie, would be 80 years old on October 21 had she lived. Around this time every year, I find myself thinking of her and the things she taught me. I have lots of pictures of her, but unfortunately iPhones weren’t around then so I don’t have any videos of her, but sheContinue reading “In Memory of Lou”
Sick Days Don’t Always Mean Sniffles
A couple of months ago I did a thing. I used an old fashioned sick day. I didn’t have a fever, a runny nose, or anything physical. I was just tired. We need to legitimize taking a sick day if we just aren’t feeling it. I don’t make a habit of using sick days. IContinue reading “Sick Days Don’t Always Mean Sniffles”
