Birthday Giveaway Ball !! | Skytimes
https://myskytimes.wordpress.com/2011/08/18/giveawayball
Laquo; stumbling along. Tomorrow is the day. Sky‘s birthday. 4 years along the dead baby road (and having been through my first 3 shitfests in the most miserable mood) I braced myself, lined up tons of crafting projects and took on a few more jobs that can (but don‘t have to) be done. Last year I was glad to have my buttkicking-grief-kit. Because if my dead son‘s birthday isn‘t enough of a reason to spread some love in his name, I don‘t know what is. The last giveaway I hosted. So… here we go:. I collage...

On “giving up.” | Bodega Bliss
https://bodegabliss.wordpress.com/2011/10/27/on-giving-up
On “giving up.”. In the last couple of weeks, I’ve noticed a dramatic change in my spirit. I’ve begun to feel lighter, even starting to believe that maybe this road moving forward doesn’t have to be so bad. Maybe I can still find joy along this path my life has taken. I’ve even felt it in my entire body, this joy starting to creep in. Until yesterday, that is. So that’s where I am now….trying to give it one more try. Except I’m anxious for that try to hurry up and get here, beca...Don’t give up! ThatR...

Too Many Fish to Fry. Monthly Archives: May 2014. May 24, 2014 · 10:46 pm. In the latest gun massacre to hit our country (these massacres happen so frequently that I can’t keep track of them all), a disturbed young man who felt rejected by the sorority girls at his college decided to do something awful about it. This happened at my college. Where I was a sorority girl. That is what my sorority sisters were to me first and foremost: friends I had important conversations with. Also, friends who made me...

Yes, the show was unafraid to take us there: to the dark side. I think the way the creators and writers got away with it with it was because they were, well, f* * * funny. And then there was the nine year mystery of the titular Mother. How would Ted Mosby meet his dream woman? That kept viewers (mostly) coming back for more. And if ...

Too Many Fish to Fry. Yes, I love fashion. Here’s why:. 1 Dressing well boosts self-esteem.

Too Many Fish to Fry. Monthly Archives: December 2014. December 30, 2014 · 11:57 pm. 2014: A Year in Review. 2014 has been quite the year. Mostly a good year, full of reminders that I will never stop learning, no matter how old I am. I hope. If I could go back in time and tell 2013 Jessica a few things, here’s what I would say:. 1 Working hard seems to make you happy. Maybe the stoics were right after all? 2 Aged six is a wonderful stage and you wish it would never end, but of course it does. Also –...

Too Many Fish to Fry. Up in the Air. Fads are Overrated →. June 10, 2015 · 7:40 pm. We are officially six months into our remodel, and progress – is not as fast as I would prefer. We still don’t have a working kitchen. I…don’t miss cooking, necessarily, but I miss having a place to go eat food. Right now I get takeout and furtively eat it in my room like some teenager hiding a binge eating session. The kitchen is a hot mess right now, but I’ll post a photo now to remember the mid-phase as too often...

A week with way too much drama, and a series of unexpected events that arrived in a perfect set of three. As these events often do. Sidebar – There is an exception.

This has mostly been a great thing. But then I went back to work full-time, and it threw me into a universe where rational thinking, problem solving and social skills are everything. Re-entry was a game changer. Why? For heartfelt conversations. And I also have some great work colleagues whom I can laugh and commiserate with. I hav...All o...

Too Many Fish to Fry. The Past Meets the Present. 8220;Quiet: The Book” and More Thoughts on Self-Help →. June 30, 2015 · 10:25 pm. BrassIsBack – Maybe? There is finally, finally some proof our kitchen might actually be useable some day, as opposed to never. Our designer LOVED the idea. The hardware finally came in, and the contractor installed the handles on our kitchen cabinets. No turning back now. Still missing – appliances, countertops and a faucet. But a girl can dream…. The Past Meets the Present.
