I have spent so much of my life not using things. Like this mug, for example. I have had this mug since 1991 and I have never used it. I had kept it in my china cabinet so nothing would happen to it. And you know what happened to it? I forgot about it. Maybe…
Fireflies are magical. I was walking to my car and there were thousands of fireflies in the air. Blinking. Flying. Floating. I got to thinking about them. Remember when you were a kid, and it was so exciting to catch a firefly? We put them in mayonnaise jars with holes punched through the lids. We’d…
Some days I’m tempted to leave the house with bedhead simply because it adds a few extra inches to my height. If you combine two inches of hair and three inches in high heels, I might actually reach 5’5″. Of course, that would mean I’d be leaving with bedhead, and ending the day with a…
I Love WordPress. But I Love You More. I have made such a wonderful group of friends through WordPress. It’s gotten so that when I’m reading Facebook or Twitter on my phone and laugh out loud, it’s definitely one of my WordPress friends (you know who you are) that inspired the laughter. I eat, breathe,…
WordPress gives me all the feels, but at the end of the day, it’s still work — a labor of love. “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” ~Confucius All due respect to Confucius, but loving what you do doesn’t make every day full of…
Bucket List: A List of Things to Complete Before You Kick the Bucket. Everybody’s Bucket List is different. We all aspire to do different things that will thrill and amaze us. Whether it is meeting a celebrity, jumping from an airplane, seeing Paris, or learning to play the guitar. I understand the Bucket List concept….
In your entire life you will never see your own face other than in reflection, photograph, or video. You will never see yourself as other people do. Think about that. Boggles the mind a bit. But it also got me to thinking…you can never experience yourself in any way like others experience you. You can guess how you…
My grandma Gladys LOVED Bingo. She was one of those ladies who would line up her Bingo cards, line up her vast array of different colored daubers, and line up her lucky charms. I don’t think she really thought they would bring her more Bingos than anyone else, but she lined them up just the…
Yep – that would be me on the right…Larry. The least of the stooges. (And not just because of his snazzy hair, either.)You might be asking…”Why, Michelle, would you be Larry?”Well let me tell you…I’m usually the one with the most bug bites, bruises, stubbed toes, and cat scratches. If there’s a doorknob to walk…
I come from a big family – which is good. Because when I say I have a crazy uncle…it could be one of several. And when I talk about a “certain cousin” it could be one of dozens. Makes it a little safer to post about them. You can hide in a big family. And…
