Noticing Life: 12/27/09 - 1/3/10

A Ballsy Broad looks at life anyway. Thursday, December 31, 2009. A friend of mine, who recently published a book btw which can be found at Amazon. Pointed out today on his Facebook page that technically the new decade doesn't begin until 2011. It made me think about the last time I heard this debate. 2000 - the new millenium? Or did we have to wait for 2001? On September 11, 2001 three thousand people lost their lives. The result, I believe, of an intelligence community going horribly wrong. We ...It is...

A Ballsy Broad looks at life anyway. Sunday, April 19, 2009. I should have known better than to follow him into the elevator. I should have said something when I saw him hit the button for the 18th floor. He swung the door open and ushered us forward. We stopped, momentarily blinded by the sun, and then bit back tiny little gasps. All for a the small monthly price of $3100 a month, excluding amentities. For an apartment measuring less than 1100 square feet. 160;hanging on the walls in each room. &#...

A Ballsy Broad looks at life anyway. Tuesday, January 12, 2010. In the Service of Others. It was a spontaneous morning for one that had so many plans. A visit with Jane, a trip to the DMV for my driver's license renewal (yes, proof that I can still see! And then on to IHOP for an early lunch. I arrived the office with a smile, feeling connected to the world around me, greeted by coworkers who have become dear to me and as I unlocked my office door the bright sun caused me to squint as I sat down to my de...

A Ballsy Broad looks at life anyway. Sunday, October 11, 2009. People Who Mean Something. The decisions you force me to make. Do I accept a friend request from someone I don't know (or at least, don't think I know? Do I accept a friend request from someone who is a great friend and whose invite I've been expecting? But what about all those people in-between? The ones I'm more a passing acquaintance with or, in a few cases, whose presence brings back some past ugliness? I know that's stupid - ALL of my fr...

A Ballsy Broad looks at life anyway. Sunday, December 27, 2009. Neither Julie nor Julia but. While visiting my sister and extended family last weekend we watched Julie and Julia. For me, again. I really like the movie. I almost never watch a movie twice but there are a few notable exceptions. Anything Star Trek, Benny and Joon, and most Robin Williams movies. Now Julie and Julia. Or butter with brown sugar? I've discovered the creativity to be had in cooking. Color. Smell. Taste. A little...This morning ...

A Ballsy Broad looks at life anyway. Sunday, January 03, 2010. Amazing Strength in Unimaginable Grief. It has been nearly two decades now since I first visited my friends Katherine and Tom. My favorite part of the home tour was a visit to their bathroom. They'd found it too small so they knocked out the wall to the room next door and made it bigger. In their remodelled bath was a large clawfoot tub and next to it a rocking chair so that Tom could read to Katherine while she bathed. They'd been together f...

A Ballsy Broad looks at life anyway. Saturday, December 26, 2009. Battling Death in the Season of Light. So God has a sense of humor. Just when our relationship got to the point where I wanted to run and run and run.he dropped 20 inches of snow on us and made sure I could run absolutely freakin' lutely NO WHERE! What do two adults do when they are facing serious questions about where they are going and whether they are going to try going there together? We ended up staying a day longer than planned which...
