I Could’ve Had A V8!
My friend introduced me to the V8 VFusion® Energy drink. Now I start my day with one of these delicious flavors each morning. They have a wonderful natural sweet taste. They absolutely get me through the day with the green tea additive (that thankfully you cannot...
Take Me Out To The Ball Game!
Have you ever been to a ballgame where the crowd starts cheering, "We want [fill in the blank]"? They are chanting the name of a player that they want the coach to put into the game. Sometimes that player may be the player they believe can win the game but more...
Waste Not.
I have been decluttering - well..... since January 1 really. Taking a room at a time and getting everything OUT that I don't want IN. I'm not really a hoarder at all. It doesn't take me long to make a decision to get rid of something if it hasn't been used in a...
Patchy Day!

Because I Said So.
When our girls were little, there were many times they would challenge us about why we asked them do something. I would try to be patient and give reasons but sometimes the only reasonable response was "because I said so." Sometimes at work, I find myself questioning...
Celebrating Can Be Hard.
Last night I was at a mother-daughter banquet and the program started with a reading that was not the traditional "mothers are....." reading. It was read by a gal who is not yet a mother and who lost hers a few years ago in an accident. It was a very brave reading....
Snow White To The Rescue.
It's rainy and very soggy here in Southeast Indiana. It's a day after "Hump Day" but not yet the weekend. My mind is bogged down with my to-do list for the.....year! I feel like I could be in the movie starring The Seven Dwarfs. You see - today, I'm a little Grumpy...
