What she said II…

I kid around with Newscoma and call her my soul sista, because I swear sometimes our lives are so parallel it’s scary! She wrote a very insightful post entitled Depression In Our Forties…and of course I was “me, too!”-ing through the whole thing…
I’ve often said I’m too poor for a red sports car and [...]

What she said…

I have to admit that I have a huge inferiority complex when it comes to writing about certain issues. Because of all I have learned about the immigration issue from Mack, I get so fired up inside about it and yet get afraid that I won’t do that fire justice through my words.
If you [...]

Cuts at The Deuce

I found out about the job cuts over at WKRN this morning. There are a lot of folks over there that I think the world of, so I just wanted to say that you all are in my thoughts.
I know that everybody will land on their feet no matter what.

This Just In…

I went and visited Dr. McDreamy today, and I learned something that had totally not dawned on me.
Even though I was surgically thrown into menopause immediately upon having the hysterectomy (normally it is a gradual process), it was not like I went through it all at the time I had the organs removed.
I am going [...]

Being an ENFJ

Awhile back, I did a meme listing 7 facts about myself. One of the things I listed was that I am an ENFJ:
I recently learned that I am an ENFJ. This means Extroverted, Intuitive, Feeling, Judging according to the Myers-Briggs Personality Type Indicator test. I am an Idealist/Teacher Temperament according to the [...]

Left Behind

I’m very weary tonight, so let me just get to the point…
Up in Robertson County (just North of Nashville), ICE came in a month ago and did a bunch of raids to round up undocumented immigrants and deport them from our country. The folks who were targeted had jobs and families…most were productive members [...]

Kicked out of my own bed…

…and darn it, they’re just too cute to be upset about it!

Comedy Gold

I’m sick as a dog today…so in lieu of a “real” post, I present to you the funniest parody I have seen in quite a long time…It’s all about KFC, folks…

Here is the real Tom Cruise video that this is based on.

“…not by the color of their skin…”

My daughter’s school commemorated Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and the civil rights movement last week in a way that I am so pleased about, that I just had to share it today and give my kudos to the teacher who implemented this idea…
First of all, the children in her grade were taught about [...]

My Little Blue Raider Most Improved Honoree

Send ‘em Up!

My dear friend and keyboardist/arranger for X-Alt! known in the blogs as “Warrior” (but by the rest of the world as Mark) got a bad diagnosis yesterday.
I’m really taken aback at just how many people in my life are battling cancer right now. I can’t even put my finger on the emotion I’m feeling [...]

One of the Best Ever…

I didn’t do anything special today. I actually skipped lunch, worked late and then came home to homework and washing dishes.
But this was one of the best birthdays I have ever, ever had.
Why? Because of such a major outpouring of love, friendship, and well wishes.
I have been inundated with so many birthday phone [...]

Last year, when I was in my thirties 40…

Oh dear god, today is the last day I can say that! Yes, I will turn 41 tomorrow (Tuesday, January 15th). Another year gone by and inching further away from my youth.
This is the exact thing that happened to me when I turned 31. It wasn’t turning 30 that got to me, and [...]

The City of Ridgetop: Protecting You From Society’s Worst Criminals!

Talk about a memorable birthday for our awesome guitarist in X-Alt!, Mark Pierce. He celebrated his 29th birthday yesterday. Actually, two elements of that sentence are not true…Mark hardly celebrated and he ain’t 29!
First of all, he got stopped for speeding by one of Metro’s finest. That was bad enough. [...]
