http://shrinkingviolettheblog.blogspot.com/2015/03/big-yellow-taxi.html

Stay with me here.don't scroll to the bottom to see why "Big Yellow Taxi" is the name of this blog.just roll with me. I have been sick for the past 2 weeks.it started off as a little sinus infection and blew up into a nasty respiratory infection.like I could totally relate to the Mucinex commercials. It was like the flu without fever. Once I ex...

Shrinking Violet: Food, Glorious Food
http://shrinkingviolettheblog.blogspot.com/2015/01/food-glorious-food.html
Sunday, January 4, 2015. Food, Glorious Food. Today's blog is going to be a little different.today's blog is a cooking lesson. I thought you might need some relief from my blogging therapy, whining, and yelling at you to find a spin bike and ride. If you are a follower of mine of Facebook or Instagram you know that I have turned into some sort of a sad cliché of a middle-aged divorced woman:. I post photos of my cats and food I cook. I love a full class! And you can't find parking near any gyms. Cooking ...

Shrinking Violet: Too Funky
http://shrinkingviolettheblog.blogspot.com/2015/06/too-funky.html
Friday, June 26, 2015. I'm back to blogging. Today was a momentous day for our country and I just had to blog about it. I know NONE of you reading this are unaware but just in case you missed it. THE SUPREME COURT FINALLY RULED THAT STATES CAN NO LONGER PROHIBIT SAME-SEX MARRIAGES. Because now we can stop using the term "same sex marriage" and just call it "marriage"! And everyone can have the legal right to marry and have the legal benefits of marriage. For me personally it is a huuuuuuge thing. I will ...

http://shrinkingviolettheblog.blogspot.com/2015/02/on-my-own.html
Friday, February 27, 2015. It's been a while.a later blog will explain just what I have been up to.but for today I invite you to celebrate an "anniversary" of sorts with me. Because you see- -. 4 years ago today I left my husband of 24.5 years.yes, we were just half a year away from that magic silver anniversary and I decided that silver wasn't a color I needed to be celebrating. I didn't actual "leave" him that day.the truth was I told him to leave. He wasn't happy but accepted it. I didn't throw my mar...

Shrinking Violet: Miss you Much
http://shrinkingviolettheblog.blogspot.com/2015/04/miss-you-much.html
Monday, April 13, 2015. It is the terrible, no-good, very bad day of the year. It's the anniversary of the day my mother died. My heart has a hole in it that will never be filled. Sometimes I feel like I am made of glass and will shatter from grief. Kids she was the most important person in the world to me. She was my best friend.my travel companion.my strength. Losing her is the single hardest thing I have ever faced. It almost destroyed me. I woke up today and couldn't move. And Marvelous Mel let me po...

Shrinking Violet: November 2014
http://shrinkingviolettheblog.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 30, 2014. In case you missed it, during the month of November I officially became "old".but I prefer to think of myself as "vintage".like a fine wine. Yeah the big 5-0 happened. And although the world didn't come to an end, it did shake up MY life a bit. I knew it was coming and I don't know why I let it bother me so much, but I will be honest:. But that is what I did. I turned down offers to go to dinner or have dinner made for me or a party given in my honor. My mom always gave us grea...

Shrinking Violet: Edge of Seventeen
http://shrinkingviolettheblog.blogspot.com/2015/03/edge-of-seventeen.html
Sunday, March 22, 2015. In a few days (more or less depending on when you read this blog) The Cutest Boy in the World (TCBITW) is going to turn 17. Which is completely impossible because I literally just birthed him 5 minutes ago. But here we are discussing college and prom.he's taking SAT's and AP courses.he drives himself to school (and everywhere) and even drove himself 5 1/2 hours to be a camp counselor at his camp. He came out of me hungry and smiling.and has been so ever since. He was an easy baby.
