Thinking in My Head. Friday, November 18, 2011. Goin' to California with an aching in my heart." - Led Zeppelin. In my last post, I wrote about what it was like to grow up in the military lifestyle. It got me to thinking about HOME and what that means. It probably means something different to all of us. Then we got sent to Maryland, and my brother and I were NOT happy about it! I think most of all though, it was the connection to something consistent. I was always very sad to leave. My longing for Califo...

Thinking in My Head: Ghosts of Blogging Past
http://thinkinginmyheadma.blogspot.com/2011/12/ghost-of-bloggy-past.html
Thinking in My Head. Monday, December 19, 2011. Ghosts of Blogging Past. Ok, this idea definitely will save my ass because I have been completely unmotivated to write anything new lately. I have a LOT of junk going on in my personal life (sorry, don't want to share yet) and I just can't seem to summon up anything to say that isn't too private or depressing. SO along comes this great little blog hop and I'm definitely hooking up! What's in a name? My name was supposed to be Melissa. Isn't that nice? Grr I...

Thinking in My Head: Moms Don't Dance
http://thinkinginmyheadma.blogspot.com/2011/12/moms-dont-dance.html
Thinking in My Head. Wednesday, December 21, 2011. Ok Here's something to blog about. It's the shortest blog post ever and not even my material. But I thought you would enjoy it. I'm saving it for my parental archives. Something to make me smile in my very old age. I was sweeping the front entryway and dancing with the broom. The boys were in the living room watching t.v. and they saw me and rolled their eyes. You guys just don't appreciate the entertainment I provide for you. Kevin: It's just not right.

Thinking in My Head. Sunday, September 25, 2011. Only God Can Make a Tree. I think that I shall never see. A poem as lovely as a tree. - Joyce Kilmer. A few days later, I read an article on DailyOM about tree houses. Oh well. A mom's gotta be herself. I feel good. I'm glad I did that and I can't wait to do it again. And next time, I'll climb even higher. I don't care who might see me. When was the last time you climbed a tree? Wednesday, September 21, 2011. So my column is in the paper today! Ok, big con...

Thinking in My Head. Friday, October 28, 2011. It's just emotion taking me over. Last weekend, I went to see a great movie called 50/50. I loved it, but I went through a whole package of pocket-sized tissue. I know I wasn't the only person in the theater who was crying, but I think I was the only person you could actually HEAR crying. Yes, embarrassing. Well, I admit it's not just these kinds of movies that make me cry. It's commercials and t.v. shows and well, anything with ANY amount of emo...I've been...

Thinking in My Head. Monday, December 26, 2011. Is it time to change how you approach change? The key to change is to let go of fear.". Not easy for some people, and I am one of them. I like things comfortable and familiar. I like to know what to expect. I like the "norm." Even when the norm isn't good, I still prefer it to the unknown. Some people get excited about the unknown. The adventure of something new. I envy those people. I'm sure my focus on endings is a result of my own life experiences and on...

Thinking in My Head. Sunday, August 28, 2011. The Head and the Heart. I have a hard time making decisions. I don't know why I struggle with it so. I think I just don't want to make a mistake - do the wrong thing then regret it. It has always been important to me to do the right thing. But how do you know what the right thing IS? And this is my typical pattern. Everyone has a good point. And I suppose, in the end, all this talking only buries my heart's voice even deeper. Labels: leap of faith. Sometimes ...

Thinking in My Head: I was a brat
http://thinkinginmyheadma.blogspot.com/2011/11/i-was-brat.html
Thinking in My Head. Friday, November 11, 2011. I was a brat. It's Veterans Day. While I am grateful to all service men and women who have made sacrifices for us and our great country, the person I think of the most is my own father. Growing up military was a mixed blessing. But overall it was pretty awesome. My favorite place we ever lived was Ft. Meade, Maryland. Although when we first stepped off the plane and felt the extreme humidity in the air, I wasn't so sure I would like it! Though mom and dad a...

Thinking in My Head: Random Thoughts
http://thinkinginmyheadma.blogspot.com/2011/11/random-thoughts.html
Thinking in My Head. Friday, November 4, 2011. I've had a busy and stressful week and my brain is pretty fried. This is what I'm thinking in my head today. 1 I really like the foamy soap that comes in a pump. WAY better than the liquid soap. That stuff tends to pool under the dispenser and make a gloppy, soapy mess on the counter. The foam just goes right where you want it and is so much easier to use. Two thumbs up! 3 Why am I getting mail from the local funeral home? I'm staring to get concerned. Novem...
