Have I Told You Lately ...: October 2011

Have I Told You Lately . Wednesday, October 19, 2011. What Light Through Yonder Window Breaks? It is the East, and Mango is the . incredible new and massive software update for Windows Phone. No, not Apple. Seriously, why must we give our technology fruit names? Is it because we typically believe that it's "sweet" but, like food, it is already beginning to stale and decompose by the time we get it? An update for me? A phone rendered useless. *. And so, I entered into the update process, eager but cautiou...

Have I Told You Lately ...: December 2013

Have I Told You Lately . Tuesday, December 17, 2013. A Year In Review. It's that time of year, folks. Holiday time. Christmas card time. Christmas LETTER. Have you received a Christmas letter? One touting all of the incredible achievements of a family? It's kinda like receiving every uber-positive Facebook status from your uber-positive friend all at one time. Georgie read us the Book of Revelation at age 3! You can see my face, right? You don't have to ACTUALLY see it to envision it. And I loved it.

Have I Told You Lately ...: Nope, I haven't.

Have I Told You Lately . Wednesday, June 5, 2013. Nope, I haven't. I haven't told you much lately. I've been out of touch, off the "grid", lazy and mute. My last post was August 2012. What's happened since then? I crashed and burned; that's what. Crashed. Burned. Gained 20 lbs above the already 40 I was over "normal" weight. So this is a purging. A purging of my failure. What can I say? Time for me to get my act the hell together. Time to stop procrastinating. I stopped exercising . completely. Papa John...

Have I Told You Lately . Saturday, June 8, 2013. The Difference in a Day. It does not escape my attention that in the course of 24-48 hours, I've gone from encouraging someone to be that smile for another, that kind word to make someone's day, to openly cackling at a stranger who called me evil. I suppose the lesson to learn is that while I strive to be one, life often finds me failing. Miserably. I probably made the wise choice to end it after "lately", eh. Again, selfish hermitess. I can live with that.

Have I Told You Lately . Friday, July 2, 2010. Flying, Fabulous, Fear-Free . and Other "F" Words. What do you do when life isn't quite how you expected, when you're staring down stress, responsibilities, debt, and dipshits on a daily basis? I decided to chuck it all to the wind and literally leap into my next decade . out of a perfectly functioning albeit tiny airplane. Come on, guys, post the prices. What are you hiding? That rule cut out quite a few places. Of course it's dangerous. You get out of ...

Have I Told You Lately . Thursday, May 8, 2014. So I have issues with Mother's Day. Call it latent angst from my. Realizing that they'll never earn that magic ride to the castle and chance at immortality by passing on some amazing freakin' genes. Call it a massive left-over guilt trip of having been a soccer mom step-mom only to have it ripped away then gradually losing touch with a now 21 year old young man whose diapers I once changed. [. Like whether the 's' in Illinois is silent. I'll never have my y...

Have I Told You Lately . Wednesday, April 9, 2014. The Grass Always LOOKS Greener . On the other side. The other side. Insert whatever you don't have that you've wanted . or thought you wanted. The big "E" for envy. I have a perfect example from my own life. Once upon a time . in a f* *ed up life . long, long ago, I was married. It defies logic. Me. Married. Years, I was a woman with a different last name. It defies logic. Me. Cooking DAILY. Granted, the menu included Hamburger Helper, Banquet Helper, pr...

Have I Told You Lately . Sunday, October 24, 2010. A Day at the Movies: Lessons Learned. I woke up Sunday with a choice to make: Do I wisely and dutifully trudge into the office and write about why a judge’s rash decision was, well, not really. Bad, or do I blindly hold onto the weekend, shutting out the real world, and head to the cinema to escape for a few more hours? Yes, I spent an unprecedented (for me) eight hours at Celebration North. Is it the streets of gold and angels on wing? For me, a highlig...
