I loved the 1980s. I loved the hair, the clothes, the music. A decade ago I went to an 80s party. To prepare for it, I went to the Goodwill. I bought an entire outfit - tapered white with blue pinstriped jeans; a white, over-sized shirt; and a pale blue shoulder sweater. I was also… Continue reading Not Everyone Loves the 1980s!

Frozen Dreams
Despite the impression I might have given in a previous post, not all of my dreams involve cats ... In a recent one, I reorganized my freezer. I’m glad that my real life is more exciting than my subconscious! Admittedly, I do maintain a larger than normal supply of food at my place. I would… Continue reading Frozen Dreams
Thank You
I am fortunate enough to have a wonderful relationship with both of my step-parents, and I wanted to share my love of them with you. They took on the challenge of a normally thankless job, and I wanted to thank them for it. Yesterday was my step-dad’s birthday, and I wanted to introduce him to… Continue reading Thank You
Juggling
How many balls can I have in the air at once? I've really been testing that lately. It seems like I keep adding stuff with abandon. So far, my base has held steady and everything is still in balance. Unfortunately, I stink at Jenga, and all my activities are starting to feel like a later round… Continue reading Juggling
Litigator Nightmare
A while back I was fortunate enough to be selected to serve on a mock jury. They fed me dinner (yummy Panera sandwich pack), paid me $20 AND wanted to hear my opinion! It makes my heart go pitter pat. I have always wanted to serve on a jury. I thank my mom for that,… Continue reading Litigator Nightmare
My Universe or Mine?
The other night, DH2U and I were discussing potential television shows for us to stream on Hulu/Netflix/network sites, etc. A couple of the ones I suggested were sci fi, and I was surprised when they were vetoed. We are both geeky, so this seemed odd. I had to ask why. It turns out he doesn’t… Continue reading My Universe or Mine?
First Day of Spring
Tuesday was Big Bird’s birthday! It also happened to be the first day of spring, but that is not nearly as important! Okay, maybe it is. I love spring... not that we had much of a winter in Southern California (yes, I realize that is an oxymoron - San Diego winter). Everything starts to bloom,… Continue reading First Day of Spring
Revealing Questions
As I have previously confessed, Wil Wheaton is one of my celebrity crushes. Yes, I follow him on Twitter, and yes, I read his blog. A few weeks ago, he had a post about the important role role playing games played in his life. It reminded me how some things just don’t work for me,… Continue reading Revealing Questions
Un-Learning Lessons
As I was talking to Hillary about what DH2U and I were going to grow in the garden, I mentioned that tomatoes were a must because store bought tomatoes and home grown taste so different they shouldn’t be allowed to have the same name. She agreed. I then mentioned that we were going to grow… Continue reading Un-Learning Lessons
First Loser
I was an adult before I first heard the expression: Second place is the first loser. I felt so sorry for the people who genuinely believed it. I hurt my brain to think that anything other than the BEST is failure. Growing up obsessed with the Olympics, just being of the caliber to be counted… Continue reading First Loser
