Trying to remember to take baby steps...one day at a time!
Interests: blues, classical, writing, interests: reading, spending time with my friends and my family. i have the bestest husband, and the world's most beautiful children. (i have to say that ) Favorite music: jazz, anything rat-pack-ish. i don't like a lot of modern music (ex. rap) but i can appreciate that art form and talent that it takes to perform. Favorite movies: african queen, the original willie wonka and the chocolate factory and all of the star trek movies. Favorite books: i don't think i can pick just one, but my copy of The Stand has been replaced several times.

No more silence.
This week, we heard the horrific story about 18year old Tyler Clementi, who thought that there was no other way to continue, and took his own life. This young man was bullied by a hateful person. One who thought it... Continue reading

What started with Michelle and Eric talking about their love of Prince turned into a week of music themed posts for many of the UCF. I had several pieces that I was going to post, but just didn't find the... Continue reading

Something you may not know about Lord Stanley-he doesn't like animals, or people other than his own staff. Last week, he brought home this little ball of skin and bones, curled up on the front porch. Stanley was meowing up... Continue reading

A reminder why we have been together all these years....
On this work schedule, I see very little of anyone. I don't see my friends, my children, but most of all, I don't get to see my husband. This schedule is very un-family-friendly. Add to that his ever changing work... Continue reading

Nothing. That is what I got.
SO you may have noticed that there has been very little activity on this old blog. The fact that I am working long hours and am not adjusting well to not being with the family has something to do with... Continue reading

Remember the sounds of Christmas?
When I posted about the sounds of Christmas, there was one that I hadn't counted on...nor did I normally associate with the season. At school the other day, Bug got a hand out about a local theatre group doing Charlie... Continue reading
